Getting id or xpath of parts of a website

I want to use selenium to login in the website https://www.winamax.es/account/login.php?redir=/apuestas-deportivas. The case is that I don't find the xpath/id/text to get te next code running successfully:
from selenium import webdriver
from selenium.webdriver.support.ui import WebDriverWait
options = webdriver.ChromeOptions()
options.add_argument("window-size=1920,1080")
options.add_argument('--disable-blink-features=AutomationControlled')
driver=webdriver.Chrome(options=options,executable_path=r"chromedriver.exe")
driver.get("https://www.winamax.es/account/login.php?redir=/apuestas-deportivas")
WebDriverWait(driver=driver, timeout=15).until(
lambda x: x.execute_script("return document.readyState === 'complete'")
)
upload_field = driver.find_element_by_xpath("//input[#type='email']")
I don't only want the specific xpath for this example, but I prefer a method to obtain the xpath or something similar to get the code working for other parts of the website

<iframe id="iframe-login" data-node="iframe" name="login" scrolling="auto" frameborder="1" style="min-height: 280px; width: 100%;"></iframe>
Your element is in an iframe. Switch to it.
WebDriverWait(driver, 10).until(EC.frame_to_be_available_and_switch_to_it((By.ID, "iframe-login")))
Import
from selenium.webdriver.common.by import By
from selenium.webdriver.support.ui import WebDriverWait
from selenium.webdriver.support import expected_conditions as EC
Full working code.
wait = WebDriverWait(driver, 10)
driver.get("https://www.winamax.es/account/login.php?redir=/apuestas-deportivas")
wait.until(EC.frame_to_be_available_and_switch_to_it((By.ID, "iframe-login")))
upload_field = wait.until(EC.element_to_be_clickable((By.XPATH, "//input[#type='email']")))
upload_field.send_keys("stuff")

The email element is within an <iframe> so you have to:
Induce WebDriverWait for the desired frame to be available and switch to it.
Induce WebDriverWait for the desired element to be clickable.
You can use either of the following Locator Strategies:
Using CSS_SELECTOR:
driver.get("https://www.winamax.es/account/login.php?redir=/apuestas-deportivas")
WebDriverWait(driver, 20).until(EC.frame_to_be_available_and_switch_to_it((By.CSS_SELECTOR,"iframe#iframe-login")))
WebDriverWait(driver, 20).until(EC.element_to_be_clickable((By.CSS_SELECTOR, "input[type='email']"))).send_keys("scraper#stackoverflow.com")
Using XPATH:
driver.get("https://www.winamax.es/account/login.php?redir=/apuestas-deportivas")
WebDriverWait(driver, 20).until(EC.frame_to_be_available_and_switch_to_it((By.XPATH,"//iframe[#id='iframe-login']")))
WebDriverWait(driver, 20).until(EC.element_to_be_clickable((By.XPATH, "//input[#type='email']"))).send_keys("scraper#stackoverflow.com")
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

How to click on the toolbar <dd> element?

I'm developing test automation and I want to click on element located in toolbar,I'm using python and selenium. Here is a code of website
<dl class="ToolbarDropdown_menu_2wY9X ToolbarDropdown_isHidden_3UaGr" tabindex="0" style=""
xpath="1"><dt><span class="ToolbarDropdown_title_1NBVn">New</span>
<span class="DropdownArrow_arrowIcon_dDzph DropdownArrow_down_3dlvo"></span>
</dt>
<dd class="ToolbarDropdown_item_nP-_M" style="">Dataset</dd>
<dd class="ToolbarDropdown_item_nP-_M">Project</dd>
</dl>
I need to click on element with text Dataset.
I locate element in this way
DATASET_BUTTON = (By.XPATH, '//dd[contains(text(),"Dataset")]')
And I want to perform action like that
self.driver.find_element(*VideosPageLocator.DATASET_BUTTON).click()
And there is no action but in terminal looks like my step has passed. Do you have any idea how to click on element in dropdown?

Maybe the action is done before DOM has loaded completely.
Try using WebDriverWait.
from selenium.webdriver.support.ui import WebDriverWait
from selenium.webdriver.common.by import By
from selenium.webdriver.support import expected_conditions as EC
web_driver_wait = WebDriverWait(self.driver, 10)
element = web_driver_wait.until(EC.element_to_be_clickable((By.XPATH,'//dd[contains(text(),"Dataset")]')))
element.click()

To invoke click() on the element with text as Dataset you have to induce WebDriverWait for the element_to_be_clickable() and you can use the following Locator Strategy:
Using XPATH:
WebDriverWait(driver, 20).until(EC.element_to_be_clickable((By.XPATH, "//dl[starts-with(#class, 'ToolbarDropdown')]//dd[starts-with(#class, 'ToolbarDropdown_item') and text()='Dataset']"))).click()
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

Find a <td> element using Selenium Python

I'm new to python and I'm trying to write a web scraping script. I'm trying to double click on this element (it's neither a button nor link - just a td element) and am having trouble with even finding it in the first place.
Below is the code
<td align="left" valign="middle" class=" "
title="Business Profile (Imported)">Business Profile (Imported)</td>
When I select it, the class changes. I suspect this is where the problem is at
<td align="left" valign="middle" class=" cellselected "
title="Business Profile (Imported)">Business Profile (Imported)</td>
I used css selector & xpath. None works. I tried both:
driver.find_element_by_xpath('//td[#title="Business Profile (Imported)"]').click()
driver.find_element_by_css_selector("td[title='Business Profile (Imported)']")
This is the error I get:
selenium.common.exceptions.NoSuchElementException: Message: no such element: Unable to locate element: {"method":"xpath","selector":"//td[#title="Business Profile (Imported)"]"}
Any help would be tremendously appreciated. Thanks!!

To locate the desired <td> element you have to induce WebDriverWait for the visibility_of_element_located() and you can use either of the following Locator Strategies:
XPATH 1:
element = WebDriverWait(driver, 20).until(EC.visibility_of_element_located((By.XPATH, "//td[contains(#title, 'Imported') and starts-with(., 'Business Profile')]")))
XPATH 2:
element = WebDriverWait(driver, 20).until(EC.visibility_of_element_located((By.XPATH, "//td[starts-with(#title, 'Business Profile') and contains(., 'Imported')]")))
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

To handle dynamic element induce WebDriverWait and element_to_be_clickable and use the following xpath
WebDriverWait(driver,20).until(EC.element_to_be_clickable((By.XPATH,"//td[#title='Business Profile (Imported)' and text()='Business Profile (Imported)']"))).click()
OR
WebDriverWait(driver,20).until(EC.element_to_be_clickable((By.XPATH,"//td[#title='Business Profile (Imported)'][contains(.,'Business Profile (Imported)')]"))).click()
You need to imports following to execute above code.
from selenium.webdriver.common.by import By
from selenium.webdriver.support.ui import WebDriverWait
from selenium.webdriver.support import expected_conditions as EC

How to click the button as per the html using Selenium and Python

I am learning Selenium and trying to click the GO button:
https://speedtest.telstra.com/
<button class="button background-primary-hover text-primary" aria-label="start your speedtest">
<span style="font-size: unset; overflow-wrap: unset;">GO</span></button>
What are all possible Selenium methods to get that button clicked,
elem = driver.find_element_by_....???
I also would like to see what I found, so should print(elem.text) then be used?

As per the website https://speedtest.telstra.com/ the desired element is within an <iframe> so you need to induce WebDriverWait to switch to the <iframe> and then look out for the element and you can use the following solution:
Using XPATH:
WebDriverWait(driver, 10).until(EC.frame_to_be_available_and_switch_to_it((By.XPATH,"//iframe[#class='speed-test' and #src='//telstra-nbn.speedtestcustom.com']")))
WebDriverWait(driver, 10).until(EC.element_to_be_clickable((By.XPATH, "//button[#class='button background-primary-hover text-primary']/span[contains(.,'GO')]"))).click()
Using CSS_SELECTOR:
WebDriverWait(driver, 10).until(EC.frame_to_be_available_and_switch_to_it((By.CSS_SELECTOR,"//iframe.speed-test[src*='speedtestcustom']")))
WebDriverWait(driver, 10).until(EC.element_to_be_clickable((By.CSS_SELECTOR, "button.button.background-primary-hover.text-primary[aria-label='start your speedtest']>span"))).click()
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

You have to use xpath, there is xpath helper tool for chrome. You can install it.
button = driver.find_element_by_xpath("your xpath")
button.click()

Try this:
browser.find_element_by_class_name("button background-primary-hover text-primary").click()
Since it will select the element and click it.

Button"+" is not being clicked in selenium

Source code:
<input type="button" value="+" id="hour_add" class="ui-button ui-widget ui-state-default ui-corner-all" role="button" aria-disabled="false">
My code:
driver.find_element_by_xpath("//input[contains(#id, 'hour_add')]").click();
This button is not clicked.

There could be multiple reasons for the problem and there is certainly not enough information to answer, but here are the possible reasons:
there are multiple elements matching the XPath expression and a wrong element is clicked
you might need to move to the element and click:
from selenium.webdriver.common.action_chains import ActionChains
ActionChains(driver).move_to_element(element).click(element).perform()
you might need to scroll into view of the element:
driver.execute_script("arguments[0].scrollIntoView();", element)
you might need to click via javascript:
driver.execute_script("arguments[0].click();", element)
you might need to wait for element to be clickable:
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
element = WebDriverWait(driver, 10).until(
EC.element_to_be_clickable((By.ID, "hour_add"))
)
element.click()
sometimes even maximizing the browser window can help:
driver.maximize_window()

When you have Id available for the element you want to click on, then just use find_element_by_id.
driver.find_element_by_id('hour_add').click()
