Selenium WebDriver Python Tutorial - Make A Simple Bot

In the second video in this Selenium tutorial series we will go over how to locate and interact with elements using Selenium Webdriver via Python. We will also cover how to use the selenium webdriver options to customize how our browser behaves. We will learn this via example, by first logging into reddit and then scraping the post titles off the front page

To find web elements we will use ID, CSS classes, and Xpath. It is typically best to use ID and CSS classes when possible, only resort to using Xpath when other options aren't available. Once we've identified the web element with selenium we will look at some of the available attributes and functions we can use via selenium.

For setting up Selenium make sure to checkout the first video in this series:

Some of the element selectors on Reddit in this video may have changed, but the fundamentals are the same so you shouldn't have any issues as long as you use your Dev Tools to find the current selectors for each element

Thanks so much for the tutorial. There is a lack of tutorials on the internet for web scraping. You really went deep in it. I am looking forward for more of your tutorials.
