I have a list if URLs and using selenium I want to validate that if the URLs is not bad(opening or not). All the URLs are of different type and don't share a common feature so I can't use

(WebDriverWait)

Please don't mark this question as duplicate I have already done searches but most of them show the same way of using webdriverwait to point to a specific element and catch timeout exception. As I already said that each URL is different and they don't share common element so I think I can't use webdriverwait to point to a specific element.

If you have any other solution than python and selenium you are welcome to share.

Using urllib to ping would be an alternative. Run the below for each URL in the list. This function checks if you get back a valid 200 response. Adapt it for your specific needs.

def server_online(hostname): 
    """Returns True if host responds to a ping request, else False"""
    try:
        resp = urllib.request.urlopen(hostname)
        if resp.getcode() == 200: 
            return True 
    except:   
        return False 
    return False
