find_elements by selenium code example
Example 1: selenium finding elements
from selenium import webdriver
chrome_driver_path = 'C:\Development\chromedriver.exe'
driver = webdriver.Chrome(executable_path=chrome_driver_path)
driver.get('https://www.python.org')
name = driver.find_element_by_name('q')
print(name.get_attribute('placeholder'))
python_logo = driver.find_element_by_class_name('python-logo')
print(python_logo.size)
documentation_link = driver.find_element_by_css_selector('.documentation-widget a')
print(documentation_link.text)
anchor_xpath = driver.find_element_by_xpath('//*[@id="search"]/div[2]/div[6]/div[1]/div/div'))
print(anchor_xpath.text)
# you can get xpath by right click and inspect > right click on element >
# >> copy >>> XPath
# you can also search by class selector
# id_selector = driver.find_element_by_id('#id')
driver.quit()
Example 2: find elements in selenium
#In Python
#Let's say that we want to locate the h1 tag in this HTML:
#<html>
# <head>
# ... some stuff
# </head>
# <body>
# <h1 class="someclass" id="greatID">Super title</h1>
# </body>
#</html>
h1 = driver.find_element_by_name('h1')
h1 = driver.find_element_by_class_name('someclass')
h1 = driver.find_element_by_xpath('//h1')
h1 = driver.find_element_by_id('greatID')
