all trust that you're well I'm trying to inspect the textarea of the Instagram Direct Message section using selenium, however, my attempts in finding the path have been unsuccessful, would appreciate any help I can get.
txt_box = bot.find_element_by_xpath('/html/body/div[1]/section/div/div[2]/div/div/div[2]/div[2]/div/div[2]/div/div/div[2]/textarea')
txt_box.send_keys(f"Hey @{user}") # Customize your message
Error I receive upon running the code:
txt_box = bot.find_element_by_xpath('//textarea[@placeholder="Message..."]')
