Hi,

I have write a code but got error and browser not getting close.

from selenium import webdriver
chrome_options = webdriver.ChromeOptions()
path_to_chromedriver = 'D:\ChromeDriver\chromedriver.exe'
browser = webdriver.Chrome(executable_path=path_to_chromedriver, options=chrome_options)
url = 'https://www.mcxindia.com/market-data/bhavcopy'
browser.get(url)
f = open(browser.find_element_by_id('cph_InnerContainerRight_C001_lnkExpToCSV').click(), 'wb')
browser.quit()

Error:
TypeError: expected str, bytes or os.PathLike object, not NoneType

you don't need selenium for this, you can get it with a simple requests statement:

import requests

excelfile = resquests.get(url)

Also, I tried to connect to that server and timed out.

First of all find_element_by_id returns None. And you cannot set the filename to None. Second of all...

you dont have to use open() at all. You only have to click the button and it should download. However you might want to wait a few seconds after the click to allow it to download.

        browser.find_element_by_id('cph_InnerContainerRight_C001_lnkExpToCSV').click()
        time.sleep(10)

Just tested with this ant it works fine.
