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?

Answer

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()
