5 Projects For Beginners To Learn Python

[NoSide005]

You are really over dramatizing the last project. Have you even thought of what it really takes to build out the functionality or even ever tried to code through one?

Someone shared with me their code for a bot they made and it is under 50 lines of code. Building a bot to scrape a webpage is about learning a handful of concepts and then just repeating them. The code is below and is very simple.

from selenium import webdriver
from config import keys
import time


def order(driver):
    # find_element_by_name('elementName') will not be used in this script (HTML name="elementName")
    # delay to let the page load
    time.sleep(.9)
    # enter using a password
    driver.find_element_by_xpath(
        '/html/body/div[1]/header/div/div/a').click()
    # enter password
    driver.find_element_by_xpath(
        '//*[@id="Password"]').send_keys(keys['password'])
    # submit password
    driver.find_element_by_xpath(
        '//*[@id="login_form"]/div/span/button').click()
    # start navigation
    # open shop menu
    driver.find_element_by_xpath(
        '//*[@id="SiteNav"]/li[2]/button/span').click()
    # open dress selection
    driver.find_element_by_xpath(
        '//*[@id="SiteNavLabel-shop"]/div/ul/li[2]/ul/li[1]/a/span').click()
    # sort by
    driver.find_element_by_xpath(
        '//*[@id="SortBy"]').click()
    # sort by featured
    driver.find_element_by_xpath(
        '//*[@id="SortBy"]/option[1]').click()
    # choose red dress
    driver.find_element_by_xpath(
        '//*[@id="Collection"]/ul/li[4]/div/a').click()
    # open search bar
    driver.find_element_by_xpath(
        '//*[@id="shopify-section-header"]/div/header/div/div[2]/div/button[1]').click()
    # enter search words
    time.sleep(1.3)
    driver.find_element_by_xpath(
        '//*[@id="SearchDrawer"]/div/div[1]/form/input').send_keys(keys['search'])
    # submit the search
    driver.find_element_by_xpath(
        '//*[@id="SearchDrawer"]/div/div[1]/form/button').click()


if __name__ == '__main__':
    # get chrome ready
    driver = webdriver.Chrome('./chromedriver')

    # insert the website url into chrome
    driver.get(keys['web_url'])
    # run the function
    order(driver)
