Web scraping the pages that need rendering is often called web scraping dynamic web pages. This is where Selenium shines. Selenium is one of the oldest and perhaps the most widely known tool. Selenium development began as early as 2004. This began as a tool for functional testing and the potential of web scraping was soon realized. The biggest reason for Selenium’s is that it supports writing scripts in multiple programming languages, including Python. It means that you can write Python code to mimic human behavior. The Python script will open the browser, visits web pages, enter text, click buttons, and copy text. This can be combined with other features in Python to save data in simple CSV or complex databases. In this guide on how to web scrape with Selenium, we will be using Python 3. The code should work with any version of Python above 3.6. Setting up Selenium Setting up Selenium involves setting up two components—the selenium package for Python and the driver for the browser that you want to use.
