After installing selenium and downloading WebDriver, you can test it. The following demonstrates how to open a URL and obtain the source code of the website.
The basic steps are as follows:
1. Import webdriver
from seleniumimport webdriver
2. Create a browser action object
Specify the downloaded webdriver file path, I have copied the file to the path where the current program is running, so specify the file name directly, otherwise add the path.
path =“chromedriver.exe”
browser = webdriver.Chrome(path)
3. Visit a specified website, I use Baidu as a test instance
url =“https://www.baidu.com”
browser.get(url)
4. Test to get the source code of the webpage
content = browser.page_source
print(content)
The source code of the webpage can be completely obtained:
