So I have this code which is referencing this html class:
<div class="text-right _2jRRJJvarKXJGP9oRP-Bv0 pbBzNArud8-t5yrNZi8Wg rankings-list-volume">2775.60</div>
Vol = driver.find_element_by_xpath('/html/body/div[1]/div[1]/div[2]/div[1]/div/div[2]/div/main/div/div/div[2]/a[1]/div[8]').text
print(Vol)
If I run it without the .text it returns just the element name and such so I know it is finding the element but it won't return the text. The 2775.60 value within the HTML is what it should be returning but instead, it just prints nothing.
To print the text 2769.94 you can use either of the following Locator Strategies:
Using css_selector and get_attribute():
print(driver.find_element_by_css_selector("div.rankings-list-volume").get_attribute("innerHTML"))
Using xpath and text attribute:
print(driver.find_element_by_xpath("//div[contains(#class, 'rankings-list-volume')]").text)
Ideally, to print the text 2769.94 you have to induce WebDriverWait for the visibility_of_element_located() and you can use either of the following Locator Strategies:
Using CSS_SELECTOR and get_attribute():
print(WebDriverWait(driver, 20).until(EC.visibility_of_element_located((By.CSS_SELECTOR, "div.rankings-list-volume"))).get_attribute("innerHTML"))
Using XPATH and text attribute:
print(WebDriverWait(driver, 20).until(EC.visibility_of_element_located((By.XPATH, "//div[contains(#class, 'rankings-list-volume')]"))).text)
Note : You have to add the following imports :
from selenium.webdriver.support.ui import WebDriverWait
from selenium.webdriver.common.by import By
from selenium.webdriver.support import expected_conditions as EC

There is such HTML code on the page, I need to get its text for check, or rather 740 using Selenium.
<button data-v-3630a784="" class="currency-btn mr10"><div data-v-3630a784="" class="progress"><div data-v-3630a784="" class="progress-bg anim" style="transform: scaleX(0.458333);"></div></div> <div data-v-3630a784="" class="num flex align-center icon-mana">740</div> <!----></button>
To print the text 740 you can use either of the following locator strategies:
Using css_selector and get_attribute("innerHTML"):
print(driver.find_element(By.CSS_SELECTOR, "button[class*='currency-btn'] div.num.flex.align-center.icon-mana").get_attribute("innerHTML"))
Using xpath and text attribute:
print(driver.find_element(By.XPATH, "//button[contains(#class, 'currency-btn')]//div[#class='num flex align-center icon-mana']").text)
To extract the text 740 ideally you need to induce WebDriverWait for the visibility_of_element_located() and you can use either of the following locator strategies:
Using CSS_SELECTOR and text attribute:
print(WebDriverWait(driver, 20).until(EC.visibility_of_element_located((By.CSS_SELECTOR, "button[class*='currency-btn'] div.num.flex.align-center.icon-mana"))).text)
Using XPATH and get_attribute("innerHTML"):
print(WebDriverWait(driver, 20).until(EC.visibility_of_element_located((By.XPATH, "//button[contains(#class, 'currency-btn')]//div[#class='num flex align-center icon-mana']"))).get_attribute("innerHTML"))

I need to get the number "3" from this HTML with python selenium
<div class="number">3</div>
This is the XPATH:
//*[#id="roulette-recent"]/div/div[1]/div[1]/div/div
I tried something like
number = navegador.find_element_by_xpath('//*[#id="rouletterecent"]/div/div[1]/div[1]/div/div').get_attribute('class')
If this xpath
//*[#id="rouletterecent"]/div/div[1]/div[1]/div/div
represent the node:
<div class="number">3</div>
and you want to extract the text from it, you should use either:
number = navegador.find_element_by_xpath('//*[#id="rouletterecent"]/div/div[1]/div[1]/div/div').get_attribute('innerText')
print(number)
or
number = navegador.find_element_by_xpath('//*[#id="rouletterecent"]/div/div[1]/div[1]/div/div').text
print(number)
I think you're looking for:
number = navegador.find_element_by_xpath('//*[#id="rouletterecent"]/div/div[1]/div[1]/div/div').text
To print the text 3 you can use either of the following Locator Strategies:
Using css_selector and get_attribute("innerHTML"):
print(navegador.find_element(By.CSS_SELECTOR, "#roulette-recent div.number").get_attribute("innerHTML"))
Using xpath and text attribute:
print(navegador.find_element(By.XPATH, "//*[#id="roulette-recent"]//div[#class='number' and text()]").text)
Ideally you need to induce WebDriverWait for the visibility_of_element_located() and you can use either of the following Locator Strategies:
Using CSS_SELECTOR and text attribute:
print(WebDriverWait(navegador, 20).until(EC.visibility_of_element_located((By.CSS_SELECTOR, "#roulette-recent div.number"))).text)
Using XPATH and get_attribute("innerHTML"):
print(WebDriverWait(navegador, 20).until(EC.visibility_of_element_located((By.XPATH, "//*[#id="roulette-recent"]//div[#class='number' and text()]"))).get_attribute("innerHTML"))

Difference between text and innerHTML using Selenium
Hi I'm using Python Selenium Webdriver to get Youtube title but keep getting more info than I'd like.
The line is:
driver.find_element_by_class_name("style-scope ytd-video-primary-info-renderer").text
Is there any way to fix it and make it more efficient so that it displays only the title.
Here is the test script Im using:
from selenium import webdriver as wd
from time import sleep as zz
driver = wd.Firefox(executable_path=r'./geckodriver.exe')
driver.get('https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wma0szfIafk')
zz(4)
test_atr = driver.find_element_by_class_name("style-scope ytd-video-primary-info-renderer").text
print(test_atr)
To print the title text OBI-WAN KENOBI Official Trailer (2022) Teaser you can use either of the following Locator Strategies:
Using css_selector and get_attribute("innerHTML"):
print(driver.find_element(By.CSS_SELECTOR, "h1.title.style-scope.ytd-video-primary-info-renderer > yt-formatted-string.style-scope.ytd-video-primary-info-renderer").get_attribute("innerHTML"))
Using xpath and text attribute:
print(driver.find_element(By.XPATH, "//h1[#class='title style-scope ytd-video-primary-info-renderer']/yt-formatted-string[#class='style-scope ytd-video-primary-info-renderer']").text)
Ideally you need to induce WebDriverWait for the visibility_of_element_located() and you can use either of the following Locator Strategies:

Using XPATH and get_attribute("innerHTML"):
print(WebDriverWait(driver, 20).until(EC.visibility_of_element_located((By.XPATH, "//h1[#class='title style-scope ytd-video-primary-info-renderer']/yt-formatted-string[#class='style-scope ytd-video-primary-info-renderer']"))).get_attribute("innerHTML"))

So I want to print out "ou" from this HTML via XPath.
<div class="syllable">ou</div>
This is my code:
elem = driver.find_elements_by_xpath('*my xpath*')
for my_elem in elem:
print(my_elem.text)
I used .text in this code but it just prints out nothing when it runs. It should be printing ou but it just prints nothing at all. If someone could please tell me what I am doing wrong that would be great.
To print the text ou you can use either of the following Locator Strategies:
Using css_selector and get_attribute("innerHTML"):
print(driver.find_element_by_css_selector("div.syllable").get_attribute("innerHTML"))
Using xpath and text attribute:
print(driver.find_element_by_xpath("//div[#class='syllable']").text)
Ideally you need to induce WebDriverWait for the visibility_of_element_located() and you can use either of the following Locator Strategies:

if you are unable to print the text using .text
then use .get_attribute("innerHTML")
this will defiantly print out the text.
eg.
your code should look like this
elem = driver.find_elements_by_xpath('*my xpath*').get_attribute("innerHTML")
for my_elem in elem:
print(my_elem)
I am trying to pull the total listings at the top of the main section (in this case it currently says 72 Listings). I have tried both By.XPATH and By.CSS_SELECTOR with no luck.... Any idea why this isn't working?
driver.get('https://swappa.com/mobile/buy/apple-iphone-8/att')
n = WebDriverWait(driver, 0.01).until(EC.presence_of_element_located((By.CSS_SELECTOR, ".col-xs-9 pull-left"))).text
To print the text 72 Listings you can use either of the following Locator Strategies:
Using css_selector and get_attribute("innerHTML"):
print(driver.find_element_by_css_selector("section#section_billboard h2 small").get_attribute("innerHTML"))
Using xpath and text attribute:
print(driver.find_element_by_xpath("//section[#id='section_billboard']//h2//small").text)
Ideally you need to induce WebDriverWait for the visibility_of_element_located() and you can use either of the following Locator Strategies:
