How do you find elements by class name using Selenium WebDriver in Python?
Hello Saanvi,
Using the find_elements_by_class_name method:
Saanvi, You can utilize the find_elements_by_class_name method of the WebDriver to locate elements by their class name. Below is an example demonstrating its usage:
Using find_elements_by_class_name method:
You can use the find_elements_by_class_name method of the WebDriver to find elements by class name. Here’s an example:
from selenium import webdriver
Initialize the WebDriver
driver = webdriver.Chrome()
Navigate to a webpage
driver.get(‘https://www.example.com’)
Find elements by class name
elements = driver.find_elements_by_class_name(‘example-class’)
Iterate over the found elements and print their text
for element in elements: print(element.text)
Close the browser
driver.quit()
Replace ‘example-class’ with the actual class name of the elements you want to find.
Hey Saanvi,
I hope this message finds you well. I’d like to share an alternative approach to locating elements by class name using Selenium.
Using find_elements method with By.CLASS_NAME:
Another way to find elements by class name is to use the find_elements method with By.CLASS_NAME from the selenium.webdriver.common.by module. Here’s an example:
from selenium import webdriver from selenium.webdriver.common.by import By
Initialize the WebDriver
driver = webdriver.Chrome()
Navigate to a webpage
driver.get(‘https://www.example.com’)
Find elements by class name
elements = driver.find_elements(By.CLASS_NAME, ‘example-class’)
Iterate over the found elements and print their text
for element in elements: print(element.text)
Close the browser
driver.quit()
This method provides a more explicit way to find elements by class name. let me know if you need any further explanation
Hello Emma,
I hope you are doing well. I will surely try to give the answer for the Question.
Using CSS selector: from selenium import webdriver
Initialize the WebDriver
driver = webdriver.Chrome()
Navigate to a webpage
driver.get(‘https://www.example.com’)
Find elements by class name using CSS selector
elements = driver.find_elements_by_css_selector(‘.example-class’)
Iterate over the found elements and print their text
for element in elements: print(element.text)
Close the browser
driver.quit()
In this example, the CSS selector .example-class selects elements with the class name example-class.
Hope this answer works for you. Please le me know if you have any doubts.
