I have the problem that I did not get all tweets after scrolling and clicking the next button. I only get the few last tweets. The only idea which I have is to integrate the scraping in the while loop. But I want to find a way where I get all tweets after scrolling and clicking down. Maybe someone has an idea or could say it if it not possible.
Moreover, I am relatively new to python and especially selenium. So if there are any other tips to my code, please feel free

I want to click on each product on aliexpress and do something with it.
However, I kept running into an ElementClickInterceptedException
Please verify that the code is correct before answering the question if you are using chat-GPT or any other AI to help with this problem.
These are the things that I tried
for supplier in suppliers:
driver.execute_script("arguments[0].scrollIntoView();", supplier)
actions = ActionChains(driver)
actions.move_to_element(supplier).click().perform()
for supplier in suppliers:
driver.execute_script("arguments[0].scrollIntoView();", supplier)
actions = ActionChains(driver)
actions.move_to_element(supplier)
wait.until(EC.visibility_of_element_located((By.XPATH, ".//*[#class='list--gallery--34TropR']//span/a")))
try:
supplier.click()
except ElementClickInterceptedException:
print('object not on screen')
However, this still gives me the highest click-through-rate
for supplier in suppliers:
try:
supplier.click()
print('Supplier clicked')
time.sleep(1)
except ElementClickInterceptedException:
print('object not on screen')
This is how I initialized the driver and loaded the elements.
search_key = "Motor+toy+boat"
suppliers = []
print("https://www.aliexpress.com/premium/"+search_key+".html?spm=a2g0o.best.1000002.0&initiative_id=SB_20221218233848&dida=y")

# Wait for the page to load
wait = WebDriverWait(driver, 10)
wait.until(EC.presence_of_element_located((By.ID, "search-key")))
# wait for the page to load
driver.implicitly_wait(10)

last_height = driver.execute_script("return document.body.scrollHeight")
while True:
driver.execute_script("window.scrollBy(0, 800);")
sleep(1)
new_height = driver.execute_script("return document.body.scrollHeight")
if new_height == last_height:
print(new_height, last_height)
break
last_height = new_height
for element in driver.find_elements(By.XPATH, "//*[contains(#class, 'manhattan--container--1lP57Ag cards--gallery--2o6yJVt')]"):
suppliers.append(element)
Couple of issues I have identified.
It is detecting bot, so after couple of runs it will stop identifying the element.Use --disable-blink-features in chrome options.
Once you iterate the list,it is clicking somewhere else, just wait for a second and then click, it will work.
added code will click only visible element on the page, If you need to click more you needed to scroll the page and then click.
You can check the count of total visible element on the page.

I am not getting all links there are 403 links in these page I am getting only 68 links I also used the scroll down method they move to end of page but not give all links is any thing I am doing wrong kindly guide us these is page link https://www.ocado.com/search?entry=frozen

With this should be enough:

Actually there are 403 products per page
I would like to scroll until the end of a page like : https://fr.finance.yahoo.com/quote/GM/history?period1=1290038400&period2=1612742400&interval=1d&filter=history&frequency=1d&includeAdjustedClose=true
The fact is using this :
# # Get scroll height after first time page load
last_height = driver.execute_script("return document.body.scrollHeight")
while True:
# Scroll down to bottom
driver.execute_script("window.scrollTo(0, document.body.scrollHeight);")
# Wait to load page
time.sleep(2)()
# Calculate new scroll height and compare with last scroll height
new_height = driver.execute_script("return document.body.scrollHeight")
if new_height == last_height:
break
last_height = new_height
does not work. yes it should work for pages with infinite loads but doesn't work for yahoo finance, which has a finite number of loads but the condition should break when it reachs the end. So I'm quite confuse at the moment.
We could also use :
while driver.find_element_by_tag_name('tfoot'):
# Scroll down three times to load the table
for i in range(0, 3):
driver.execute_script("window.scrollBy(0, 5000)")
time.sleep(2)
but it sometimes blocks at a certain loads.
What would be the best way to do this ?
Requires pip install undetected-chromedriver, but will get the job done.
It's just my webdriver of choice, you can also do the exact same with normal selenium.
from time import sleep as s
from selenium.webdriver.common.keys import Keys
from selenium.webdriver.common.by import By
from selenium.webdriver.support import expected_conditions as EC
from selenium.webdriver.support.ui import WebDriverWait
import undetected_chromedriver as uc
options = uc.ChromeOptions()
options.headless = False
driver = uc.Chrome(options=options)
driver.get('https://fr.finance.yahoo.com/quote/GM/history?period1=1290038400&period2=1612742400&interval=1d&filter=history&frequency=1d&includeAdjustedClose=true')
WebDriverWait(driver, 10).until(EC.presence_of_element_located((By.CSS_SELECTOR, '#consent-page > div > div > div > div.wizard-body > div.actions.couple > form > button'))).click() #clicks the cookie warning or whatever
last_scroll_pos=0
while True:
WebDriverWait(driver, 10).until(EC.presence_of_element_located((By.CSS_SELECTOR, 'body'))).send_keys(Keys.DOWN)
s(.01)
current_scroll_pos=str(driver.execute_script('return window.pageYOffset;'))
if current_scroll_pos == last_scroll_pos:
print('scrolling is finished')
break
last_scroll_pos=current_scroll_pos
I'm trying to scrape a website (https://harleytherapy.com/therapists?page=1) that looks like it's been generated by Javascript and the element I'm trying to scrape (the lu with id="downshift-7-menu") doesn't appear on the "Page source" but only after I click on "Inspect element".
I tried to find a solution here and so far this the code I was able to come up with (a combination of Selenium + Beautiful soup)
import requests
from bs4 import BeautifulSoup
from selenium import webdriver
from selenium.webdriver.common.desired_capabilities import DesiredCapabilities
import time
url = "https://harleytherapy.com/therapists?page=1"
options = webdriver.ChromeOptions()
options.add_argument('headless')
capa = DesiredCapabilities.CHROME
capa["pageLoadStrategy"] = "none"
driver = webdriver.Chrome(chrome_options=options, desired_capabilities=capa)
driver.set_window_size(1440,900)
driver.get(url)
time.sleep(15)
plain_text = driver.page_source
soup = BeautifulSoup(plain_text, 'html')
therapist_menu_id = "downshift-7-menu"
print(soup.find(id=therapist_menu_id))
I thought that allowing Selenium to wait for 15 seconds would make sure that all elements are loaded but I still can't find any element with id downshift-7-menu in the soup. Do you guys know what's wrong with my code?
The element with ID downshift-7-menu is loaded only after opening the THERAPIST dropdown menu, you can do it by scrolling it into view to load it and then clicking on it. You should also consider replacing sleep with explicit wait
from selenium.webdriver.common.by import By
from selenium.webdriver.support.ui import WebDriverWait
from selenium.webdriver.support import expected_conditions as EC
wait = WebDriverWait(driver, 15)
# scroll the dropdown into view to load it
side_menu = wait.until(EC.visibility_of_element_located((By.CLASS_NAME, 'inner-a377b5')))
last_height = driver.execute_script("return arguments[0].scrollHeight", side_menu)
while True:
driver.execute_script("arguments[0].scrollTo(0, arguments[0].scrollHeight);", side_menu)
new_height = driver.execute_script("return arguments[0].scrollHeight", side_menu)
if new_height == last_height:
break
last_height = new_height
# open the menu
wait.until(EC.visibility_of_element_located((By.ID, 'downshift-7-input'))).click()
# wait for the option to load
therapist_menu_id = 'downshift-7-menu'
wait.until(EC.presence_of_element_located((By.ID, therapist_menu_id)))
print(soup.find(id=therapist_menu_id))
I'm trying to use Selenium to scrape a bunch of websites, that are needed to be scrolled down and clicked on a button. Each url has same structure, but has different number of click times.
My code:
for url in url_list:
while True:
wd.get(url)
last_height = wd.execute_script("return document.body.scrollHeight")
while True:
wd.execute_script("window.scrollTo(0, document.body.scrollHeight);")
#time.sleep = time for waiting
time.sleep(3)
new_height = wd.execute_script("return document.body.scrollHeight")
if new_height == last_height:
break
last_height = new_height
next_button = wd.find_element_by_link_text('next >>')
next_button.click()
However, the code finished only the first url and returned error: "NoSuchElementException". It didn't continue the loop, and sometimes if I changed url list, it stopped in the middle of the loop with error: "ElementClickInterceptedException"
My goal is to continue and finish the loop, and ignore the error.
How can I improve the code?
Thanks in advance
Induce WebDriverWait() and element_to_be_clickable() and use try..except block if element found then click else break.
