How to write names and price in ordered format using Selenium and Python

Time:11-15

I'm creating a script that scraps currency names and prices. whenever I run my script it works perfectly fine but the problem is it does not print in order format like if the bitcoin price is $65,056.71 it will write another coin price in bitcoin line.

enter image description here

In this way, it writes random values to each line

Here is my code:

from selenium import webdriver

driver = webdriver.Chrome(executable_path="chromedriver.exe")
driver.get("https://coinmarketcap.com/")
driver.implicitly_wait(10)

coins = set()
coin_names = driver.find_elements_by_class_name('iworPT')
print(coin_names)

for names in coin_names:
    coins.add(names.text)

    for coins_val in coins:
        print(coins_val)


# coins price
coinsprice = []
get_coin_price = driver.find_elements_by_class_name('cLgOOr')

for price in get_coin_price:
    coinsprice.append(price.text)

    for price_val in coinsprice:
        print(price_val)


with open('coins.txt', 'w') as f:
    for coins_name, prices in zip(coins,coinsprice):
        f.write(coins_name   ": "   prices   "\n")

driver.close()

Thanks in advance.

To scrape the currency names and prices you can use List Comprehension to collect the currency names and prices inducing induce WebDriverWait for the visibility_of_all_elements_located() and you can use either of the following Locator Strategies:

  • Code Block:

    driver.get("https://coinmarketcap.com/")
    cryptos = [my_elem.text for my_elem in WebDriverWait(driver, 20).until(EC.visibility_of_all_elements_located((By.XPATH, "//a[@class='cmc-link' and contains(@href, 'currencies')]//p[@color='text' and @font-weight='semibold']")))]
    prices = [my_elem.text for my_elem in WebDriverWait(driver, 20).until(EC.visibility_of_all_elements_located((By.XPATH, "//a[@class='cmc-link' and contains(@href, 'currencies')]//p[@color='text' and @font-weight='semibold']//following::td[1]//a")))]
    for i,j in zip(cryptos, prices):
        print(f"Name:{i} current price is:{j}")
    driver.quit()
