Google Chrome API in Python
Python:
Python is an interactive and more accessible language than any other programming language. The python programming language uses a variety of libraries to perform the operations in a faster way. The python language can also be used in web development; Django and Flask are the frameworks used to create web applications using Python. In Python, indentation is the main concept; if we do not follow proper indentation, the code may not run. We can easily create an application in Python if we are familiar with indentation, Variables, Operators, loop concepts and function concepts in python language. Python can read and write any data into the files; we can modify any data in the files with the help of the python programming language.
Python can work on any platform, such as windows, MacBook and LINUX. We can learn Python easily; it has a simple syntax that anyone can understand. The Flask is a framework available in the python programming language that helps create web applications. The Flask is an Application interference mainly used to create web applications.Django and Flask are the most important frameworks used to create web applications, mobile applications and desktop applications. Here we are using the selenium framework, which is used to automate major browsing websites such as Firefox, chrome and edge.
Chrome Automation using Python
The selenium framework is used to automate chrome using the python programming language. The selenium framework is used to automate major browsing websites such as Firefox, chrome and edge. The Pycharm is used for the installation and testing of the selenium framework. The Foxtrot interpreter engine is used for the running of major browsers such as the internet explorer browser.
Here we need to set up the selenium framework for the automation of chrome; for this, we need to create a new project using Pycharm. In the creation of the project, we need to select the "existing interpreter" and then copy and paste the global python interpreter for the usage of the Foxtrot interpreter in the selenium framework. The selenium framework is installed using the python installation package( pip ), then in the Pycharm created project, we need to run a command :
Command:
Pip install selenium
Webdriver Installation
The required webdriver must be installed to run the selenium framework successfully; here, we are going to automate the Google Chrome browser, and the selenium framework can also be used for creating other browsers, such as Firefox. We need to install the webdriver that must be installed according to the required Google Chrome version.Webdriver is an open-source tool that can be used to test the web apps present in many web servers. The web driver can be installed from the selenium framework.
Working with Selenium Framework
To start working with the selenium framework, we need to create a new python file in the created pyCharm project to test the selenium framework before starting working with the selenium in the Foxtrot interpreter. Now we need to open the created new file in the selenium framework for the testing of the created file for the automation of Google chrome. Now from the selenium framework, we need to import the web driver of the required version for the automation of the web browser.
Command:
from selenium import webdriver
Now we need to create a variable browser_path that contains the web driver path of Google chrome that must be automated. Now let us run a command line for the running of the web driver for the successful automation of the Google Chrome
Command:
browser_path = webdriver.Chrome(path = r’C:\seenium\chrome_driver.exe’)
Now we can add another command line which will import Google Chrome with the help of the get function; we can get Google chrome which can be used for automation.
Command:
browser_path.get(‘https://www.googlechrome.com/’)
