How to start with selenium in python?

Selenium is a popular open-source tool for automating web browsers. Here’s an overview of how you can use Selenium for automating tasks in Python:

1. Install the Selenium Python library: You can install the Selenium Python library by running the following command in your terminal or command prompt:

pip install selenium

2. Install a WebDriver: Selenium requires a driver to interact with the chosen browser. You need to download and install a driver for the specific browser you want to automate. For example, if you want to automate Google Chrome, you need to download and install the ChromeDriver. You can find the latest version of ChromeDriver at https://sites.google.com/a/chromium.org/chromedriver/downloads.
3. Write the code: Once you have installed the Selenium library and the WebDriver, you can write the code to automate tasks in Python. Here’s a simple example that opens a website in Chrome and prints its title:

from selenium import webdriver

# create an instance of Chrome webdriver
driver = webdriver.Chrome()

# URL to open in Chrome
url = "https://www.example.com"

# Open the URL in Chrome
driver.get(url)

# Get the title of the page
title = driver.title

# Print the title of the page
print(title)

# Close the webdriver instance
driver.quit()

• Execute the code: You can run the code using the command python filename.py in your terminal or command prompt, where filename.py is the name of the file that contains the code.

This is just a basic example. You can use Selenium to automate many other tasks, such as filling out forms, clicking buttons, scrolling, and much more.
