Selenium Python Tricks
Selenium: Selenium Python bindings provide a convenient API to access Selenium Web Driver like Firefox, Chrome, etc.
What is webdriver?
Selenium WebDriver is an automation testing tool. When I say automation, it means it automates test scripts written in Selenium.
Webdriver Install
Chrome: https://sites.google.com/a/chromium.org/chromedriver/downloads
Library Imported
from selenium import webdriver import time
(i) Selenium library:
– Used for Automation
– Control Webdriver
– Perform actions like – element clicks, refresh page, goto website link, etc
(ii) Time library:
-For using sleep function because selenium works only when the all the elements of the page is loaded.
Trick1: How to increase view count on a website?
#Note: This will not work on all websites, like youtube.
What we would be learning is to refresh the webpage again and again after a particular interval of time.
#!/usr / bin / env python from selenium import webdriver import time # set webdriver path here it may vary brower = webdriver.Chrome(executable_path ="C:\Program Files (x86)\Google\Chrome\chromedriver.exe") brower.get(website_URL) # After how many seconds you want to refresh the webpage # Few website count view if you stay there # for a particular time # you have to figure that out refreshrate = int(15) # This would keep running until you stop the compiler. while True: time.sleep(refreshrate) brower.refresh() |
