How do I pull inner elements from a Selenium web element in Python?-CodePudding

I'm trying to use Selenium to pull the stock symbols from this page and insert them into a list: https://www.barchart.com/stocks/highs-lows/highs?timeFrame=1y

My code:

StockList = []

driver = webdriver.Chrome()
url = "https://www.barchart.com/stocks/highs-lows/highs?timeFrame=1y"
driver.get(url)

stock_list = driver.find_elements_by_tag_name("tr")
for stock in stock_list:
    stock.find_element_by_name("data-current-symbol=")
    print(stock)

I receive a NoSuchElementException.

When I inspect the page, each tr has the following: "data-current-symbol="ACY

How can I pull out the stock symbol?

CodePudding user response：

Use this selector:

tr[data-current-symbol]

And utilize .get_attribute method:

StockList = []

driver = webdriver.Chrome()
url = "https://www.barchart.com/stocks/highs-lows/highs?timeFrame=1y"
driver.get(url)

stock_list = driver.find_elements_by_css_selector("tr[data-current-symbol]")

for stock in stock_list:
    symbol = stock.get_attribute('data-current-symbol')
    print(symbol)
    StockList.append(symbol)
