I am trying to scrape the products from Amazon, but it keeps giving me the error NoSuchElementException: Message: no such element: Unable to locate element: {"method":"xpath","selector":"//li[@class='a-last']"} (Session info: chrome=102.0.5005.115)

Thanks for your help in advance! The code is the following -->

from selenium import webdriver
from time import sleep
path = '/usr/local/bin/chromedriver'
# open the browser
browser = webdriver.Chrome(executable_path=path)
# load the webpage
browser.get('https://www.amazon.in')
browser.maximize_window()
# get the input elements
input_search = browser.find_element_by_id('twotabsearchtextbox')
search_button = browser.find_element_by_xpath("(//input[@type='submit'])[1]")
# send the input to the webpage
input_search.send_keys("protein")
sleep(1)
search_button.click()
products = []
for i in range(10):
    print('Scraping page', i 1)
    product = browser.find_elements_by_xpath("//span[@class='a-size-medium a-color-base a-text-normal']")
    for p in product:
        products.append(p.text)
    next_button = browser.find_element_by_xpath("//li[@class='a-last']")
    next_button.click()
    sleep(2)

and then the error

CodePudding user response:

To extract the texts from the Referenzcode column you can use list comprehension and you can use either of the following locator strategies:

  • Using CSS_SELECTOR:

    driver.get("https://www.amazon.in/")
    WebDriverWait(driver, 20).until(EC.element_to_be_clickable((By.CSS_SELECTOR, "input#twotabsearchtextbox"))).send_keys("protein"   Keys.RETURN)
    print([my_elem.text for my_elem in driver.find_elements(By.CSS_SELECTOR, "span[data-component-type='s-search-results'] span.a-size-base-plus.a-color-base.a-text-normal")])
    
  • Using XPATH:

    driver.get("https://www.amazon.in/")
    WebDriverWait(driver, 20).until(EC.element_to_be_clickable((By.CSS_SELECTOR, "input#twotabsearchtextbox"))).send_keys("protein"   Keys.RETURN)
    print([my_elem.text for my_elem in driver.find_elements(By.XPATH, "//span[@data-component-type='s-search-results']//span[@class='a-size-base-plus a-color-base a-text-normal']")])
    
  • Note : You have to add the following imports :

    from selenium.webdriver.common.keys import Keys
    from selenium.webdriver.support.ui import WebDriverWait
    from selenium.webdriver.common.by import By
    from selenium.webdriver.support import expected_conditions as EC
