I'm new to web scraping and I'm using Selenium to open Chrome and click a buy button on a website, but I'm not able to do this. What am I doing wrong?

Button code:

<a href="javascript:void(0)" class="cont-bt-fast buy">
                  Compra
                  28,60
               </a>

What I have tried:

<pre lang="Python">

Python

<pre>from selenium import webdriver
from selenium.webdriver.support.ui import WebDriverWait
from selenium.webdriver.common.by import By
from selenium.webdriver.support import expected_conditions as EC

url = "specific page that needs permission to access"

driver = webdriver.Chrome(executable_path=r'./chromedriver.exe')
driver.get(url)

WebDriverWait(driver, 20).until(EC.element_to_be_clickable((By.XPATH, "//a[@class='cont-bt-fast buy']"))).click()

Is your button on a iframe?

Member 15371871 30-Sep-21 9:23am

Yes I think so, the button is inside a window on the web page. But I really don't know nothing about HTML.

The button was inside an iframe, so I need to find the iframe before the button

Python

from selenium import webdriver
from selenium.webdriver.support.ui import WebDriverWait
from selenium.webdriver.common.by import By
from selenium.webdriver.support import expected_conditions as EC

url = "specific page that needs permission to access"

driver = webdriver.Chrome(executable_path=r'./chromedriver.exe')
driver.get(url)

iframe = driver.find_element_by_xpath("/html/body/div/div/div/iframe")

driver.switch_to.frame(iframe)

WebDriverWait(driver, 20).until(EC.element_to_be_clickable((By.XPATH, "//a[@class='cont-bt-fast buy']"))).click()
