I am trying to write a script using Selenium to access pastebin do a search and print out in text the URL results. I need the visible URL results and nothing else.
<div class="gs-bidi-start-align gs-visibleUrl gs-visibleUrl-long" dir="ltr" style="word-break:break-all;">pastebin.com/VYQTSbzY</div>
Current script is:
import time
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.webdriver.common.keys import Keys
from bs4 import BeautifulSoup
browser = webdriver.Firefox()
browser.get('http://www.pastebin.com')
search = browser.find_element_by_name('q')
search.send_keys("test")
search.send_keys(Keys.RETURN)
soup=BeautifulSoup(browser.page_source)
for link in soup.find_all('a'):
print link.get('href',None),link.get_text()
You don't actually need BeautifulSoup. selenium itself is very powerful at locating element:
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.webdriver.common.keys import Keys
browser = webdriver.Firefox()
browser.get('http://www.pastebin.com')
search = browser.find_element_by_name('q')
search.send_keys("test")
search.send_keys(Keys.RETURN)
# wait for results to appear
wait = WebDriverWait(browser, 10)
results = wait.until(EC.visibility_of_element_located((By.CSS_SELECTOR, "div.gsc-resultsbox-visible")))
# grab results
for link in results.find_elements_by_css_selector("a.gs-title"):
print link.get_attribute("href")
browser.close()
Prints:
http://pastebin.com/VYQTSbzY
http://pastebin.com/VYQTSbzY
http://pastebin.com/VAAQCjkj
...
http://pastebin.com/fVUejyRK
http://pastebin.com/fVUejyRK
Note the use of an Explicit Wait which helps to wait for the search results to appear.

I have this code :
from selenium import webdriver
from selenium.webdriver.support.ui import WebDriverWait
from selenium.webdriver.common.by import By
from selenium.webdriver import EdgeOptions
import os
os.environ['PATH'] += "C:\\Users\\czoca\\PycharmProjects\\pythonProject4\\chromedriver.exe"
driver = webdriver.Chrome()
driver.get("https://www.teintes.fr/")
driver.implicitly_wait(10)
myelement = driver.find_element(By.XPATH, "/html/body/div[6]/div[2]/div[1]/div[2]/div[2]/button[1]/p")
myelement = driver.find_element(By.NAME, "Carens III")
myelement1.click()
myelement.click()
Everything seems ok I am following some tutorials and documentation, for the XPATH and I tried other attributes..
But I have a pop up to consent to the web terms that i have to press Autorizate. But it wont click on it. Any ideia why?enter image description here
It is the button "Autoriser"
You can try this:
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()
url = 'https://www.teintes.fr/'
driver.get(url)
accept_cookies_button = WebDriverWait(driver, 30).until(EC.presence_of_element_located((By.XPATH, "//*[text()='Autoriser']")))
accept_cookies_button.click()
Advices:
Use recognizables selectors
It is a good tip to wait for the element you will use
I am using selenium to try to scrape data from a website (https://www.mergentarchives.com/), and I am attempting to get the innerText from this element:
<div class="x-paging-info" id="ext-gen200">Displaying reports 1 - 15 of 15</div>
This is my code so far:
from selenium import webdriver
from selenium.webdriver.common.keys import Keys
from selenium.webdriver.common.action_chains import ActionChains
from selenium.webdriver.support.ui import WebDriverWait
driver = webdriver.Firefox()
driver.maximize_window()
search_url = 'https://www.mergentarchives.com/search.php'
driver.get(search_url)
assert 'Mergent' in driver.title
company_name_input = '//*[#id="ext-comp-1009"]'
search_button = '//*[#id="ext-gen287"]'
driver.implicitly_wait(10)
driver.find_element_by_xpath(company_name_input).send_keys('3com corp')
driver.find_element_by_xpath(search_button).click()
driver.implicitly_wait(20)
print(driver.find_element_by_css_selector('#ext-gen200').text)
basically I am just filling out a search form, which works, and its taking me to a search results page, where the number of results is listed in a div element. When I attempt to print the text of this element, I simply get a blank space, there is nothing written and no error.

What am I doing wrong?
I think you may need explicit Wait :
wait = WebDriverWait(driver, 10)
info = wait.until(EC.visibility_of_element_located((By.XPATH, "//div[#class = 'x-paging-info' and #id='ext-gen200']"))).get_attribute('innerHTML')
print(info)
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 may need to put a condition by verifying if search results loaded or not and once its loaded you can use below code
print(driver.find_element_by_id('ext-gen200').text)
I am trying to click each link in the ListNews div in the below website (chinalaborwatch).
I have done a bit of research and the following should have worked, but instead, it only clicks on one link and then it stops.
from selenium.webdriver.support.ui import WebDriverWait
from selenium.webdriver.common.by import By
from selenium.webdriver.support import expected_conditions as EC
driver = webdriver.Chrome(executable_path=r"C:\webdrivers\chromedriver.exe")
driver.get("http://www.chinalaborwatch.org/news")
WebDriverWait(driver, 20).until(EC.element_to_be_clickable((By.XPATH,'/html/body/form/div[5]/div/div[2]'))).click()
What am I missing?
thanks!
You could get the url list firstly.Then visit them and scrape the data what you want:
from selenium.webdriver.support.ui import WebDriverWait
from selenium.webdriver.common.by import By
from selenium.webdriver.support import expected_conditions as EC
from selenium import webdriver
driver = webdriver.Chrome()
driver.get("http://www.chinalaborwatch.org/news")
element_list = driver.find_elements_by_css_selector('#form1 > div:nth-child(5) > div > div.ListNews > div')
url_list = [element.find_element_by_tag_name('a').get_attribute('href') for element in element_list] # get all the url
for i in url_list:
driver.get(i) # switch the url
# then it is your work,scrape the text you want.
I'm just learning how to webscrape dynamically using Selenium in Python. I'm currently trying to click on a link within the webpage to page forward over search results.
So far this is the code that I'm using:
from selenium import webdriver
from selenium.webdriver.common.keys import Keys
driver = webdriver.Chrome('C:\\Users\\km13\\chromedriver.exe')
driver.get("http://www.congreso.gob.pe/pley-2016-2021")
elem = driver.find_element_by_css_selector("img[src='/Sicr/TraDocEstProc/CLProLey2016.nsf/8eac1ef603908b5105256cdf006c41b1/$Body/0.AB2?OpenElement&FieldElemFormat=gif']")
elem.click()
This is the HTML that corresponds with the element I'd like to click on:
`<img src="/Sicr/TraDocEstProc/CLProLey2016.nsf/8eac1ef603908b5105256cdf006c41b1/$Body/0.AB2?OpenElement&FieldElemFormat=gif" width="81" height="16" border="0">`
From my somewhat limited knowledge of HTML this seems like the link is actually embedded in the gif which is why I tried to use the CSS selector that goes along with that image. But this did not work.
Any guidance would be greatly appreciated!
Update:
I changed my code by adding the following import
from selenium.webdriver.common.by import By
And I changed the following:
elem = driver.find_element(By.CSS_SELECTOR, "img[src='/Sicr/TraDocEstProc/CLProLey2016.nsf/8eac1ef603908b5105256cdf006c41b1/$Body/0.AB2?OpenElement&FieldElemFormat=gif']")
elem.click()
Now I get an error for "no such element."
There is an iframe.You need to switch to iframe first to access the element.Try below code.use WebDriverWait to handle dynamic element.
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\\km13\\chromedriver.exe')
driver.get("http://www.congreso.gob.pe/pley-2016-2021")
WebDriverWait(driver, 20).until(EC.frame_to_be_available_and_switch_to_it((By.NAME, 'ventana02')))
elem = WebDriverWait(driver, 10).until(EC.element_to_be_clickable(
(By.XPATH, "//a[contains(#onclick,'A50')]/img[contains(#src,'Sicr/TraDocEstProc/CLProLey')]")))
elem.click()

I am using Python and Selenium to scrape a website. What I do is go to the homepage, type in a keyword, such as 1300746-79-5. On the resulting page, I am trying to scrape the data in the "pricing" section. Specifically, I need to get the "SKU-Pack Size" and "Price(USD)" information. But these information is Javascript encripted, so I cannot see them in the source code. I am wondering how I can achieve this.
I have written some code that gets me to the page of interest, but I still cannot see the javascript information. Here is what I have so far.
from selenium import webdriver
from selenium.common.exceptions import TimeoutException
from selenium.webdriver.support.ui import WebDriverWait
from selenium.webdriver.support import expected_conditions as EC
import pprint
# Create a new instance of the Firefox driver
driver = webdriver.Chrome('C:\Users\Rei\Desktop\chromedriver.exe')
driver.get("http://www.sigmaaldrich.com/united-states.html")
print driver.title
inputElement = driver.find_element_by_name("Query")
# type in the search
inputElement.send_keys("1300746-79-5")
inputElement.submit()
Everything you have done looks correct to me.
"SKU-Pack Size" and "Price(USD)" information are not "encrypted", but retrieved after JavaScript clicking action. All you need to do is to click product name or pricing link.
from selenium import webdriver
from selenium.common.exceptions import TimeoutException
from selenium.webdriver.common.by import By
from selenium.webdriver.support.ui import WebDriverWait
from selenium.webdriver.support import expected_conditions as EC
import pprint
driver = webdriver.Chrome()
driver.get("http://www.sigmaaldrich.com/united-states.html")
print driver.title
inputElement = driver.find_element_by_name("Query")
# type in the search
inputElement.send_keys("1300746-79-5")
inputElement.submit()
pricing_link = driver.find_element_by_css_selector("li.priceValue a")
print pricing_link.text
pricing_link.click()
# then deal with the data you want
price_table = WebDriverWait(driver, 10).until(
EC.presence_of_element_located((By.CSS_SELECTOR, ".priceAvailContainer tbody"))
)
print 'price_table.text: ' + price_table.text
driver.quit()
