WebScrape - Python/Selenium

My code goes into a webpage and I want to scrape the href/HTML of each listing within this webpage.
(This code goes to a website which has 2)
I tried xpath, and beautifulSoup but it returns an empty list for me.
Here is the code-
import time
from selenium import webdriver
import pandas as pd
from selenium.webdriver.support.wait import WebDriverWait
from selenium.webdriver.support import expected_conditions as EC
from selenium.webdriver.common.by import By
import pandas as pd
from bs4 import BeautifulSoup
driver = webdriver.Chrome()
bracket=[]
driver.get('https://casehippo.com/spa/symposium/national-kidney-foundation-2021-spring-clinical-meetings/event/gallery/?search=Patiromer')
time.sleep(3)
page_source = driver.page_source
soup = BeautifulSoup(page_source, 'html.parser')
eachRow=driver.find_element_by_partial_link_text('symposium')
print(eachRow.text)

I just ran the code what you provided, BeautifulSoup set soup variable with all page source successfully:
soup = BeautifulSoup(page_source, 'html.parser')
and in the next line:
eachRow=driver.find_element_by_partial_link_text('symposium')
exception has been raised with message:
selenium.common.exceptions.NoSuchElementException: Message: no such element: Unable to locate element: {"method":"partial link text","selector":"symposium"}
seems like you're using incorrect selector, try to use, somethink like:
element = driver.find_element_by_xpath("//a[#class='title ng-binding']")
code what i'm using:
import time
from bs4 import BeautifulSoup
from selenium import webdriver
driver = webdriver.Chrome()
try:
bracket = []
driver.get(
'https://casehippo.com/spa/symposium/national-kidney-foundation-2021-spring-clinical-meetings/event/gallery/?search=Patiromer')
time.sleep(3)
page_source = driver.page_source
soup = BeautifulSoup(page_source, 'html.parser')
print(soup)
element = driver.find_element_by_xpath("//a[#class='title ng-binding']")
print(element.get_attribute('href'))
elements = driver.find_elements_by_xpath("//a[#class='title ng-binding']")
for el in elements:
print(el.get_attribute('href'))
finally:
driver.quit()

Updated code:
import time
from selenium import webdriver
import pandas as pd
from selenium.webdriver.support.wait import WebDriverWait
from selenium.webdriver.support import expected_conditions as EC
from selenium.webdriver.common.by import By
import pandas as pd
from bs4 import BeautifulSoup
driver = webdriver.Chrome()
bracket=[]
driver.get('https://casehippo.com/spa/symposium/national-kidney-foundation-2021-spring-clinical-meetings/event/gallery/?search=Patiromer')
time.sleep(3)
page_source = driver.page_source
soup = BeautifulSoup(page_source, 'html.parser')
eachRow=driver.find_elements_by_xpath("//a[contains(#ui-sref,'symposium')]")
for row in eachRow:
print(row.text)
You need to use find_elements (not find_element) if there are more than one, and then iterate over them to see their values. Also partial text wont work because the symposium text is embedded in another element, its not regular text, so xpath is needed

Python 3 extract html data from sports site

I have been trying to extract data from a sports site and so far failing. I am Trying to extract the 35, Shots on Goal and 23 but have been failing.
<div class="statTextGroup">
<div class="statText statText--homeValue">35</div>
<div class="statText statText--titleValue">Shots on Goal</div>
<div class="statText statText--awayValue">23</div></div>
from bs4 import BeautifulSoup
import requests
result = requests.get("https://www.scoreboard.com/uk/match/lvbns58C/#match-statistics;0")
src = result.content
soup = BeautifulSoup(src, 'html.parser')
stats = soup.find("div", {"class": "tab-statistics-0-statistic"})
print(stats)
This is the code I have been trying to use and when I run it I get "None" printed to me. Could someone help me so I can print out the data.
Full page found here: https://www.scoreboard.com/uk/match/lvbns58C/#match-statistics;0

As the website is rendered by javascript, possible option would load the page using selenium and then parse it with BeautifulSoup:
from bs4 import BeautifulSoup
from selenium import webdriver
from selenium.webdriver.support import expected_conditions as EC
from selenium.webdriver.common.by import By
from selenium.webdriver.support.ui import WebDriverWait
# initialize selenium driver
chrome_options = webdriver.ChromeOptions()
chrome_options.add_argument('--headless')
chrome_options.add_argument('--no-sandbox')
chrome_options.add_argument('--disable-dev-shm-usage')
wd = webdriver.Chrome('<<PATH_TO_SELENIUMDRIVER>>', options=chrome_options)
# load page via selenium
wd.get("https://www.scoreboard.com/uk/match/lvbns58C/#match-statistics;0")
# wait 30 seconds until element with class mainGrid will be loaded
table = WebDriverWait(wd, 30).until(EC.presence_of_element_located((By.ID, 'statistics-content')))
# parse content of the table
soup = BeautifulSoup(table.get_attribute('innerHTML'), 'html.parser')
print(soup)
# close selenium driver
wd.quit()

Scraping: cannot extract content from webpage

I am trying to scrape the news content from the following page, but with no success.
https://www.business-humanrights.org/en/latest-news/?&search=nike
I have tried with Beautifulsoup :
r = requests.get("https://www.business-humanrights.org/en/latest-news/?&search=nike")
soup = BeautifulSoup(r.content, 'lxml')
soup
but the content that I am looking for - the bits of news that are tagged as div class = 'card__content', do not appear in the soup output.
I also checked, but I could not find any frames to switch to.
Finally, I tried with phantomjs and the following code but with no success:
import time
from bs4 import BeautifulSoup
from selenium import webdriver
from selenium.webdriver.chrome.options import Options
url = "https://www.business-humanrights.org/en/latest-news/?&search=nike"
driver = webdriver.PhantomJS(executable_path= '~\Chromedriver\phantomjs-2.1.1-windows\bin\phantomjs.exe')
driver.get(url)
time.sleep(7)
page = driver.page_source
driver.quit()
soup = BeautifulSoup(page, 'html.parser')
container = soup.find_all('div', attrs={
'class':'card__content'})
print(container)
I am running out of options, anyone can help?

Use API
import requests
r = requests.get("https://www.business-humanrights.org/en/api/internal/explore/?format=json&search=nike")
print(r.json())

I didn't understand why you're facing this. I tried the same above but not with requests and bs4. I used requests_html. xpaths can be used directly in this library without any other libraries.
import requests_html
session = requests_html.HTMLSession()
URL = 'https://www.business-humanrights.org/en/latest-news/?&search=nike'
res = session.get(URL)
divs_with_required_class = res.html.xpath(r'//div[#class="card__content"]')
for item in divs_with_required_class:
print(f'Div {divs_with_required_class.index(item) + 1}:\n', item.text, end='\n\n')

driver.page_source returns initial HTML-doc content no matter how long you wait (time.sleep(7) has no effect).
Try below:
from selenium.webdriver.common.by import By
from selenium.webdriver.support.ui import WebDriverWait
from selenium.webdriver.support import expected_conditions as EC
driver.get(url)
cards = WebDriverWait(driver, 10).until(EC.presence_of_all_elements_located((By.XPATH, "//div[#class='card__content' and normalize-space(.)]")))
texts = [card.text for card in cards]
print(texts)
driver.quit()

Trying to use selenium to webscrape ncbi, the data doesn't load and isn't contained in an element with an ID that I can wait for

I am trying to scrape genetic data from web pages like https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov//nuccore/KC208619.1?report=fasta.
I am using beautiful soup and selenium.
The data is located inside an element with the id viewercontent1.
When I print that out with this code:
from bs4 import BeautifulSoup
import requests
from selenium import webdriver
from selenium.webdriver.support.ui import WebDriverWait
import re
secondDriver = webdriver.Chrome(executable_path='/Users/me/Documents/chloroPlastGenScrape/chromedriver')
newLink = "https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov//nuccore/KC208619.1?report=fasta"
secondDriver.implicitly_wait(10)
WebDriverWait(secondDriver, 10).until(lambda driver: driver.execute_script('return document.readyState') == 'complete')
secondDriver.get(newLink)
html2 = secondDriver.page_source
subSoup = BeautifulSoup(html2, 'html.parser')
viewercontent1 = subSoup.findAll("div", {"id" : "viewercontent1"})[0]
print(viewercontent1)
I print out :
<div class="seq gbff" id="viewercontent1" sequencesize="450826" style="display: block;" val="426261815" virtualsequence=""><div class="loading">Loading ... <img alt="record loading animation" src="/core/extjs/ext-2.1/resources/images/default/grid/loading.gif"/></div></div>
It seems the content hasn't finished loading.
I tried implicitly waiting and checking to see if the content is done loading (before and after calling the .get() function) but that doesn't seem like it did anything.
I can't wait for the content to load specifically via ID (presence_of_element_located) because the data is contained directly within a <pre></pre> element with on id.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

To get content of the <div>, you can use this script:
import requests
from bs4 import BeautifulSoup
url = 'https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov//nuccore/KC208619.1?report=fasta'
fasta_url = 'https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/sviewer/viewer.fcgi?id={id}&report=fasta'
soup = BeautifulSoup(requests.get(url).content, 'html.parser')
id_ = soup.select_one('meta[name="ncbi_uidlist"]')['content']
fasta_txt = requests.get(fasta_url.format(id=id_)).text
print(fasta_txt)
Prints:
>KC208619.1 Butomus umbellatus mitochondrion, complete genome
CCGCCTCTCCCCCCCCCCCCCCGCTCCGTTGTTGAAGCGGGCCCCCCCCATACTCATGAATCTGCATTCC
CAACCAAGGAGTTGTCTCATATAGACAGAGTTGGGCCCCCGTGTTCTGAGATCTTTTTCAACTTGATTAA

...and so on.

#Andrej's solution seems much simpler but if you still want to go the waiting route...

Selenium Scraping Javascript Table

I am stuggling to scrape as per code below. Would apprciate it if someone can have a look at what I am missing?
Regards
PyProg70
from selenium import webdriver
from selenium.webdriver import FirefoxOptions
from selenium.webdriver.firefox.firefox_binary import FirefoxBinary
from bs4 import BeautifulSoup
import pandas as pd
import re, time
binary = FirefoxBinary('/usr/bin/firefox')
opts = FirefoxOptions()
opts.add_argument("--headless")
browser = webdriver.Firefox(options=opts, firefox_binary=binary)
browser.implicitly_wait(10)
url = 'http://tenderbulletin.eskom.co.za/'
browser.get(url)
html = browser.page_source
soup = BeautifulSoup(html, 'lxml')
print(soup.prettify())

not Java but Javascript. it dynamic page you need to wait and check if Ajax finished the request and content rendered using WebDriverWait.
....
from selenium.webdriver.common.by import By
from selenium.webdriver.support.ui import WebDriverWait
from selenium.webdriver.support import expected_conditions as EC
.....
browser.get(url)
# wait max 30 second until table loaded
WebDriverWait(browser, 30).until(EC.presence_of_element_located((By.CSS_SELECTOR , 'table.CSSTableGenerator .ng-binding')))
html = browser.find_element_by_css_selector('table.CSSTableGenerator')
soup = BeautifulSoup(html.get_attribute("outerHTML"), 'lxml')
print(soup.prettify().encode('utf-8'))
