The tool works by making calls to the browser using the overall support for automation. Selenium Grid Selenium Grid is widely used in distributing texts over more than one virtual machine. In simple words, Selenium Grid enables you to run your tests on different virtual machines against more than one browser. The grid allows you to run scraping in a distributed execution environment.

For starters, Selenium IDE records and plays end-user interactions with Firefox browser. Selenium software is compatible with both Python 2 and Python 3. If you are working on compiling the Internet Explorer driver, you'll need 32 and 64-bit cross-compilers and Visual Studio 2008. Familiarity with Ruby 2 is an added advantage. Scraping web pages with Selenium With Selenium, you can ef?ciently interact with JavaScript web forms. Install a WebDriver on your machine and ?nd the form using XPath. Using Selenium, select your preferred option by clicking the drop-down menu and give your browser some minutes to load before you click on the next element. Your target-page will display scraped data after all the forms are correctly ?lled out. Some web pages take time before loading content. To scrape this type of page, loop through all your drop-down options, which are contained under speci?c web forms.
