Selenium is a powerful tool for controlling web browsers through programs and performing browser automation. It is functional for all browsers, works on all major OS and its scripts are written in various languages i.e Python, Java, C#, etc, we will be working with Python.
In this article, we will write a Python Script for getting the text from the tag name using selenium module. We will be getting the tag text from this URL.
Step-by-step Approach
Step #1: Import required libraries
Python3
# Import Library from selenium import webdriver |
Step #2: Create a Chrome object or specify web driver path if it is not present in the default path and assign URL.
Python3
# Chrome Path driver = webdriver.Chrome('Enter Chrome Path') # Web URL driver.get('Enter Web URL') |
Step #3: Specify the tag name, which you want to extract the text.
Syntax:
Object Name.find_element_by_tag_name(Tag Name)
Python3
# Get Text print (element.text) # Close the window driver.close() |
Below is the implementation.
Python3
# Import Library from selenium import webdriver # Chrome Path driver = webdriver.Chrome() # Web URL element = driver.find_element_by_tag_name('a') # Get Text print(element.text) # Close the window driver.close() |
Output:
