Web Scraping

[alexcuba75]

Hello guys,

I would like to open a new tab in my opened browser and then read the content, I have tried with Selenium but I cannot find the way to open a new tab in the opened browser as I mentioned.

Thank you in advance

What do u want exactly? U can do it with selenium probably. Why do u need to open a new tab? U can use "get" method again ?

you should look at:
web scraping part 1
web scraping part 2

# Opens a new tab
driver.execute_script("window.open()")
 
# Switch to the newly opened tab
driver.switch_to.window(driver.window_handles[1])
 
# Navigate to new URL in new tab
driver.get("https://google.com")
# Run other commands in the new tab here
 
You're then able to close the original tab as follows
 
# Switch to original tab
driver.switch_to.window(driver.window_handles[0])
 
# Close original tab
driver.close()
 
# Switch back to newly opened tab, which is now in position 0
driver.switch_to.window(driver.window_handles[0])
 
Or close the newly opened tab
 
# Close current tab
driver.close()
 
# Switch back to original tab
driver.switch_to.window(driver.window_handles[0])
