[arhammonds]

This is exactly the tutorial I was needing for a project I'm working on. THANK you! Very clear and easy to follow.

[vesrus]

I like the way you explained it, thank you!

[lulizeth]

hi, how can I download files with selenium python in IE?

[Kig_Ama]

What if there is no option to copy the download link? If there is only a button that executes JavaScript to download the file.

[saidchahir]

how do you define the folder where to put the downloaded file?

[shreya]

Thank you for this tutoral. A little doubt.
I tried out this tutorial and all worked well, except I can't seem for the file to download & be opened by preview on MacOS as a pdf. When I download it in binary, it doesn't quite open like a typical document. Any suggestions?

[chadhamhalla]

Thank you so much for the video, do you have any idea, please, how to do that automatically ( downloading the files automatically) ? Thanks again

[rachelbu]

Thanks, it's very clear and informative! But I have one little question. What if I'd like to change the download destination path to another folder?

[duylam]

@jie Jin, what if the website requires a password? How do we write a code in which Python will log in with our credentials and download files?

[pain-wxlg]

hi, what if the website you want to automate w/ has a username/password page and authentication code sent to email.

[criticalwill]

Hi Jie, thanks for posting this. Great video and clean code ran perfectly!
Is there a way to control where the file is downloaded? It currently just throws it to my user folder.

[farazsiddiquii]

I've been scraping this website since yesterday finally found the download link but it leads to a recaptcha now😩

[Mishmashes]
