hello - I am having difficult scraping more than one page on a real estate website. any tips or recommendations on my code would be very much appreciated. thanks!

 
import requests
from bs4 import BeautifulSoup
from csv import writer

base_url = 'https://www.rew.ca/properties/areas/kelowna-bc'

for i in range(1,26):
    url = '/page/' + str(i)

    while url:
        response = requests.get(f"{base_url}{url}")
        soup = BeautifulSoup(response.text, "html.parser")
        listings = soup.find_all("article")

        with open("property4.csv", "w") as csv_file:
            csv_writer = writer(csv_file)
            csv_writer.writerow(["title", "type", "price", "location", "bedrooms", "bathrooms", "square feet", "link"])
        for listing in listings:
            location = listing.find(class_="displaypanel-info").get_text().strip()
            price = listing.find(class_="displaypanel-title hidden-xs").get_text().strip()
            link = listing.find("a").get('href').strip()
            title = listing.find("a").get('title').strip()
            type = (listing.find(class_="clearfix hidden-xs").find(class_="displaypanel-info")).get_text()
            bedrooms = (listing.find_all("li")[2]).get_text()
            bathrooms = (listing.find_all("li")[3]).get_text()
            square_feet = (listing.find_all("li")[4]).get_text()
            csv_writer.writerow([title, type, price, location, bedrooms, bathrooms, square_feet, link])
            next_btn = soup.find(class_="paginator-next_page paginator-control")
            url = next_btn.find("a")["href"]
you need to use the navbar to change pages. This is best done using the .click method of selenium.
