1. How to scroll Page in Selenium Python

In this example, we will learn how to scroll Page in selenium Python First, we will load a chrome browser driver with the help of ChromeDriverManager that automatically handles install of a new chrome driver , whenever the new version of the driver is released. To scroll the page in selenium python, First, we have to use the driver.get(“https://news.google.com/”) method to navigate to the link that is given as a parameter. it will open the google news web page and find the element by tag name text “div”.

  • driver.get(): Navigate to a new link that is given as parameter
  • execute_script() : This method is used to execute a javascript method window.scrollTo(0, Y)
  • sleep(3): wait 3 seconds until it scroll down.
from selenium import webdriver
from webdriver_manager.chrome import ChromeDriverManager
import time

driver = webdriver.Chrome(ChromeDriverManager().install())
driver.maximize_window()

driver.get("https://news.google.com/") 

print("The First opened window  = " + driver.title)

driver.execute_script("window.scrollTo(0, Y)")
time.sleep(3)
driver.close()
driver.refresh()

So it will return the height of the page and scroll vertically down

from selenium import webdriver
from webdriver_manager.chrome import ChromeDriverManager
import time

driver = webdriver.Chrome(ChromeDriverManager().install())
driver.maximize_window()

driver.get("https://news.google.com/") 

print("The First opened window  = " + driver.title)


driver.execute_script("window.scrollTo(0, document.body.scrollHeight);")

time.sleep(3)
driver.close()
driver.refresh()

from selenium import webdriver
from webdriver_manager.chrome import ChromeDriverManager
import time

driver = webdriver.Chrome(ChromeDriverManager().install())
driver.maximize_window()

driver.get("https://news.google.com/") 

print("The First opened window  = " + driver.title)


driver.execute_script("window.scrollTo(0, window.scrollY + 600)")

driver.refresh()

4. How to scroll Page in selenium Python using div

The python selenium driver.get(“https://news.google.com/”) method to navigate to the link that is given as a parameter. The driver.maximize_window() is used to maximize the open web page.

The execute_script() is used to execute the javascript method window.scrollTo(0, document.body.scrollHeight) to scroll the page 

from selenium import webdriver
from webdriver_manager.chrome import ChromeDriverManager



driver = webdriver.Chrome(ChromeDriverManager().install())
driver.maximize_window()

driver.get("https://news.google.com/") 

while driver.find_element_by_tag_name('div'):
    driver.execute_script("window.scrollTo(0, document.body.scrollHeight);")
    Divs=driver.find_element_by_tag_name('div').text
    if 'End of Results' in Divs:
        print('end')
        break
    else:
        continue


driver.close()
