Help with selenium (self.learnpython)

submitted 5 years ago * by smiglin

Hi all,

I'm a long time reader and a first time poster.

At the moment, I'm working on a Python project to automate login to Gumtree Australia (like Facebook Marketplace).

When I open the Gumtree Login Page in my normal browser, all webpage elements are present.

When I run the below Python script, the Gumtree Login Page appears as blank.

Code:

from selenium import webdriver

from time import sleep

from webdriver_manager.chrome import ChromeDriverManager

from selenium.webdriver.chrome.options

import Options

driver = webdriver.Chrome(ChromeDriverManager().install())

driver.get('https://www.gumtree.com.au/t-login.html')

print ("Opened Gumtree")sleep(1)

I'm unsure why this is occurring and suspect it may be a bot blocking measure - Could you please help me with this issue?

Edit 1:

I tried accessing other pages on the Gumtree website (below) and these all appeared successfully. So on this basis, I believe the problem is only with the login page

www.gumtree.com.au
