Trying to locate an element in a webpage but getting NoSuchElementException

I am trying to get the webdriver to click a button on the site random.org The button is a generator that generates a random integer between 1 and 100. It looks like this:
After inspecting the webpage, I found the corresponding element on the webpage looks something like this:
It is inside an iframe and someone suggested that I should first switch over to that iframe to locate the element, so I incorporated that in my code but I am constantly getting NoSuchElementException error. I have attached my code and the error measage below for your reference. I can't understand why it cannot locate the button element despite referencing the ID, which is supposed to unique in the entire document.
The code:
from selenium import webdriver
from selenium.webdriver.common.by import By
driver = webdriver.Edge()
driver.get("https://www.random.org/")
driver.implicitly_wait(15)
driver.switch_to.frame(driver.find_element(By.TAG_NAME, "iframe"))
button = driver.find_element(By.CSS_SELECTOR, "input[id='hnbzsqjufzxezy-button']")
button.click()
The error message:

Make sure that there are no more Iframes on the page. If there are a few an not only one do this:
iframes = driver.find_elements(By.CSS, 'iframe')
// try switching to each iframe:
driver.switch_to.frame(iframes[0])
driver.switch_to.frame(iframes[1])
You can't find the button because its name contain random letters. Every time you will refresh the page you can see that the name value will change. So, do this:
button = driver.findElement(By.CSS, 'input[type="button"][value="Generate"]')
button.click()

There are several issues with your code:
First you need to close the cookies banner
The locator of the button is wrong. It's id is dynamic.
You need to use WebDriverWait to wait for elements clickability.
The following code works:
from selenium import webdriver
from selenium.webdriver.chrome.service import Service
from selenium.webdriver.chrome.options import Options
from selenium.webdriver.support.ui import WebDriverWait
from selenium.webdriver.common.by import By
from selenium.webdriver.support import expected_conditions as EC
options = Options()
options.add_argument("start-maximized")
webdriver_service = Service('C:\webdrivers\chromedriver.exe')
driver = webdriver.Chrome(service=webdriver_service, options=options)
url = 'https://www.random.org/'
driver.get(url)
wait = WebDriverWait(driver, 10)
wait.until(EC.element_to_be_clickable((By.CSS_SELECTOR, "button[onclick*='all']"))).click()
wait.until(EC.frame_to_be_available_and_switch_to_it((By.TAG_NAME, "iframe")))
wait.until(EC.element_to_be_clickable((By.CSS_SELECTOR, "input[id*='button']"))).click()

Selecting a specific element with Selenium - Python

I'm trying to click this button shown after choosing an option from a drop-down menu.
This is the button I'm trying to click.
The link to the website: https://excise.wb.gov.in/CHMS/Public/Page/CHMS_Public_Hospital_Bed_Availability.aspx
The html:
I've tried using XPATH, and through visible text; nothing seems to work.
My code as of now:
from selenium import webdriver
from selenium.webdriver.common.by import By
import time
from selenium.webdriver.support.ui import Select
PATH = "C:\Program Files (x86)\chromedriver.exe"
driver = webdriver.Chrome(PATH)
driver.get("https://excise.wb.gov.in/CHMS/Public/Page/CHMS_Public_Hospital_Bed_Availability.aspx")
drop_dist = \
driver.find_element(By.XPATH, "/html/body/form/div[3]/main/div[2]/div/div[2]/div/div[1]/div[2]/div/select")
select_dist = Select(drop_dist)
select_dist.select_by_value("005")
l = driver.find_element(By.XPATH, "/html/body/form/div[3]/main/div[2]/div/div[2]/div/div[4]/div/div/table/tbody/tr[1]/td/div/div[2]/div[2]/div[1]/a").click()
time.sleep(30)
Any help is much appreciated!

The locator seems fragile, use following locator and webdriverwait() to handle sync issue.
driver.get("https://excise.wb.gov.in/CHMS/Public/Page/CHMS_Public_Hospital_Bed_Availability.aspx")
wait=WebDriverWait(driver, 20)
select_dist =Select(wait.until(EC.visibility_of_element_located((By.CSS_SELECTOR, "#ctl00_ContentPlaceHolder1_ddl_District"))))
select_dist.select_by_value("005")
wait.until(EC.element_to_be_clickable((By.XPATH, "(//a[#class='btn btn-link' and contains(., 'View Detail Break up')])[1]"))).click() //this will click the first one only.
You have to add 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

Try this:
button = driver.find_elements(By.CSS, 'a[role="button"][aria-expanded="false"]')[0]
button.click()
You can change the index in order to click on other elements

Dropdown option not getting selected using Selenium Python

I am trying to select a dropdown option in the form using Selenium webdriver in Python. The XPATH is correct, I also verified it is going to the right dropdown option but in the end it is not selecting it.
I have tried similar code for another website that has a dropdown. But it's not working for this particular website.
Can someone please help out with this?
from selenium import webdriver
driver = webdriver.Chrome("C:\\Users\\xxx\\Downloads\\chromedriver_win32\\chromedriver.exe")
driver.get("https://www.cersai.org.in/CERSAI/dbtrsrch.prg")
elem = driver.find_element_by_xpath("//select[#id='borrowerType']")
all_options = elem.find_elements_by_tag_name("option")
for option in all_options:
if option.get_attribute("value") == "IND":
option.click()
break

You should add a wait before accessing the dropdown element to make it loaded.
Also, this is a Select element, you can treat it in a special way as below:
from selenium import webdriver
from selenium.webdriver.common.by import By
from selenium.webdriver.support.ui import WebDriverWait
from selenium.webdriver.support import expected_conditions as EC
driver = webdriver.Chrome("C:\\Users\\xxx\\Downloads\\chromedriver_win32\\chromedriver.exe")
wait = WebDriverWait(driver, 20)
driver.get("https://www.cersai.org.in/CERSAI/dbtrsrch.prg")
wait.until(EC.visibility_of_element_located((By.XPATH, "//select[#id='borrowerType']")))
select = Select(driver.find_element_by_xpath("//select[#id='borrowerType']"))
# select by visible text
select.select_by_value('IND')

It's strange that Select class did not work. It needs a JavaScript call.
driver = webdriver.Chrome(driver_path)
driver.maximize_window()
driver.implicitly_wait(50)
driver.get("https://www.cersai.org.in/CERSAI/dbtrsrch.prg")
driver.execute_script("return document.getElementById('borrowerType').selectedIndex = '2'")

Issues clicking an element using selenium

Im using this code to explore tripadvisor (Portuguese comments)
from selenium import webdriver
from bs4 import BeautifulSoup
driver=webdriver.Firefox()
driver.get("https://www.tripadvisor.com/Airline_Review-d8729164-Reviews-Cheap-Flights-TAP-Portugal#review_425811350")
driver.set_window_size(1920, 1080)
Then Im trying to click the google-translate link
driver.find_element_by_class_name("googleTranslation").click()
But getting this error :-
WebDriverException: Message: Element is not clickable at point (854.5, 10.100006103515625). Other element would receive the click: <div class="inner easyClear"></div>
So the div class="inner easyClear" is getting the click. I tried exploring it
from bs4 import BeautifulSoup
page=driver.page_source
for i in page.findAll("div","easyClear"):
print i
print "================="
But was unable to get any intuition from this as in what changes to incorporate now to make the "Google Translate" clickable. Please help
===============================EDIT===============================
Ive also tried these
driver.execute_script("window.scrollTo(0, 1200);")
driver.find_element_by_class_name("googleTranslation").click()
Resizing the browser to full screen etc..

What worked for me was to use an Explicit Wait and the element_to_be_clickable Expected Condition and get to the inner span element:
from selenium import webdriver
from selenium.webdriver import ActionChains
from selenium.webdriver.common.by import By
from selenium.webdriver.support.ui import WebDriverWait
from selenium.webdriver.support import expected_conditions as EC
driver = webdriver.Chrome()
driver.get("https://www.tripadvisor.com.br/ShowUserReviews-g1-d8729164-r425802060-TAP_Portugal-World.html")
wait = WebDriverWait(driver, 10)
google_translate = wait.until(EC.element_to_be_clickable((By.CSS_SELECTOR, ".googleTranslation .link")))
actions = ActionChains(driver)
actions.move_to_element(google_translate).click().perform()
You may also be getting into a "survey" or "promotion" popup - make sure to account for those.

Tab on Website is "Not Clickable" Using Selenium w/ Python

I'm trying to use Selenium to click the tab for quarterly financials on this page:
http://www.msn.com/en-us/money/stockdetails/financials/fi-126.1.AAPL.NAS
When I run my code, it works some of the time, and sometime it tells me:
"Element is not clickable at point (897.7999877929688, 20.100006103515625). Other element would receive the click:
<span class="mectrlname mectrlsignin"></span>"
Here is the code I am running...
from selenium import webdriver
from selenium.webdriver.common.by import By
from selenium.webdriver.support.ui import WebDriverWait
from selenium.webdriver.support import expected_conditions as EC
from selenium.common.exceptions import *
from selenium.webdriver.common.keys import Keys
import time
driver = webdriver.Firefox()
driver.get('http://www.msn.com/en-us/money/stockdetails/financials/fi-126.1.AAPL.NAS')
wait = WebDriverWait(driver, 3)
qtrtab = wait.until(EC.element_to_be_clickable((By.XPATH,'//*[#id="financials-period-list"]/li[2]')))
qtrtab.click()
Does anyone know why sometimes I get the error message and other times it works just fine? Should I be doing this differently? Thanks!

There is a "frozen" header that covers the element you want to click when the cursor is moved to it. Just maximize the browser window to avoid this problem:
driver = webdriver.Firefox()
driver.maximize_window()
