How do I use a feature on a website using python


I am trying to figure out how to activate/click on a feature using python. Like it goes to a page and click on a certain button. How can I do this? Are there any modules that may help?


Solution

  • Try using the selenium package in Python.

    Once you pip install selenium and download chromedriver, you should be able to use something like this -

    from selenium import webdriver
    
    url = "your_url"
    chrome_options = webdriver.ChromeOptions()
    driver = webdriver.Chrome("/path/to/chromedriver", chrome_options=chrome_options)
    driver.delete_all_cookies()
    driver.get(url)
    

    And after your page opens, you'll first have to find the element using inspect and then based on its name/id/class/etc, you can click on it using - driver.find_element_by_name('<element_name>').click()
