ViewsHow to get all children of an element in python using selenium?
How can I turn this JavaScript into Python to get all child elements from the parent?
This script gets all the elements from the google.com site via console
e = document.getElementsByTagName('body')[0].children
for (let i = 0; i < e.length;i++){
console.log(e[i].tagName)
}
In python I tried to do this, but I can't
import time
import requests
import pandas as pd
from bs4 import BeautifulSoup
from selenium import webdriver
from selenium.webdriver.firefox import options
from selenium.webdriver.firefox.options import Options
option = Options()
option.headless = True
driver = webdriver.Firefox(executable_path=r'C:\geck\geckodriver.exe')
driver.get('https://www.google.com.br/')
body = driver.find_element_by_tag_name('body')
childrens = body.childrens
for i in childrens:
print(i.tagName)
driver.quit()
Commands used to install packages:
pip install pandas
pip install bs4
pip install selenium
pip install requests
How can I get the element names from a body tag in python?

To turn this JavaScript into Python to get all child elements from the parent
e = document.getElementsByTagName('body')[0].children
for (let i = 0; i < e.length;i++){
console.log(e[i].tagName)
}
in a simple and crispy way you just need to pass the JavaScript within execute_script() as follows:
driver.get("https://www.google.com.br/")
driver.execute_script("""
e = document.getElementsByTagName('body')[0].children
for (let i = 0; i < e.length;i++){
console.log(e[i].tagName)
}
""")

You can use body.find_elements_by_xpath("./child::*") to get all the child elements in body as WebElement object and then get their tag name by accessing the tag_name attribute
import time
import requests
import pandas as pd
from bs4 import BeautifulSoup
from selenium import webdriver
from selenium.webdriver.firefox import options
from selenium.webdriver.firefox.options import Options
option = Options()
option.headless = True
driver = webdriver.Firefox(executable_path=r'C:\geck\geckodriver.exe')
driver.get('https://www.google.com.br/')
body = driver.find_element_by_tag_name('body')
childrens = body.find_elements_by_xpath("./child::*")
for i in childrens:
print(i.tag_name)
driver.quit()
