Can't gather data from Website using Selenium

Amadeus 0
Viewed 62

good morning.

I am quite new to scrapping data with selenium and am facing one difficulty to gather the data from this website.

https://www.puertodeveracruz.com.mx/datosBuques/principal.php?jmlp=1

What I would like to retrive are all rows for these 3 columns:

Viaje,Nombre Buque,Fecha ETA

I tried to get it by using driver.findelements but I am not sure what elemt should I use, tried id="gridSimpleFiltering_footer_container" but it seems not to work.

What would be the solution?

Thank you in advance!

Or none selenium solution. Install pandas pip install pandas

import requests
import pandas as pd


df = pd.DataFrame(eval(requests.get('https://www.puertodeveracruz.com.mx/ws/BuquesProgramados').text.replace('\/', '/')))
print(df.to_string(columns=['VID', 'NOM_BUQUE', 'F_ETA']))

OUTPUT:

        VID            NOM_BUQUE       F_ETA

You need find the rows first and then columns to fetch the value. There is page sync issue, you need to handle that as well using webdriverwait()

driver.get("https://www.puertodeveracruz.com.mx/datosBuques/principal.php?jmlp=1")
WebDriverWait(driver,10).until(EC.visibility_of_element_located((By.CSS_SELECTOR,"table#gridSimpleFiltering>tbody>tr")))
tableRows=driver.find_elements(By.CSS_SELECTOR, "table#gridSimpleFiltering>tbody>tr")
for row in tableRows:
    print(row.find_element(By.XPATH, ".//td[1]").text)
    print(row.find_element(By.XPATH, ".//td[2]").text)
    print(row.find_element(By.XPATH, ".//td[3]").text)
    print("====================================")

You need to import below libraries

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