Selenium
Selenium is library that can be useful when scraping the web. Unlike the other libraries, Selenium wasn’t originally designed for web scraping. First and foremost, Selenium is a web driver designed to render web pages like your web browser would for the purpose of automated testing of web applications.
Install Selenium
pip install selenium
Use Selenium
from selenium import webdriver
Driver setup
Chrome Link
Firefox Link
Opera Link
Edge Link
# Chrome:
chrome_driver = webdriver.Chrome(“Chrome Driver Path”)
# Firefox:
firefox_driver = webdriver.Firefox(“Firefox Driver Path”)
# Opera:
opera_driver = webdriver.Opera(“Opera Driver Path”)
# Edge:
edge_driver = webdriver.Edge(“Edge Driver Path”)
# Safari
safari_driver = webdriver.Safari() # The SafariDeriver is integrated in Safari.
Open A Website
url = "https://www.example.com"
driver.get(url)
