Hello guys !
Well I'll dive straight into my question.
I changed from PHP to Python some weeks ago, and Im totally into web-scraping.
As my first 'real-need-project' I'm trying to get the latest driver Upload and the version from surface devices.
-> https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download...x?id=56261

Due to the versions are hidden under a dropdown ( js ) i cant access the values directly ...
Well Now the question is there a possabilty in python to open the dropdown ?
I know i can do it with selenium. But im searching for some other solutions aswell.
In php I used requests and and http scrapper module.
I want to try to work with requests only. I heared its the most efficient way.
If there is no other way then selenium I need to use I guess ^^.
Its just some pain in the ass to install everything, include it to path and stuff like that until its properly working x.x
Thanks for the answer!
