Selenium not able to click on Get Data button on using Python

Question

I am scraping data from this website . The element is below and geckodriver

<img class="getdata-button" style="float:right;" src="/common/images/btn-get-data.gif" id="get" onclick="document.getElementById('submitMe').click()">

but can't get selenium to click it tried even xpath, id but not luck is there any fix or work around to get it done?

Could also be you are going to fast for selenium. There are commands to help you with this. See the [doc](https://selenium-python.readthedocs.io/waits.html) — tgrandje, Dec 04 '20 at 08:36

To click on the element Get Data you can use either of the following Locator Strategies:

Using css_selector:

driver.find_element_by_css_selector("img.getdata-button#get").click()

Using xpath:

driver.find_element_by_xpath("//img[@class='getdata-button' and @id='get']").click()

Ideally, to click on the element you need to induce WebDriverWait for the element_to_be_clickable() and you can use either of the following Locator Strategies:

Using CSS_SELECTOR:

WebDriverWait(driver, 20).until(EC.element_to_be_clickable((By.CSS_SELECTOR, "img.getdata-button#get"))).click()

Using XPATH:

WebDriverWait(driver, 20).until(EC.element_to_be_clickable((By.XPATH, "//img[@class='getdata-button' and @id='get']"))).click()

Note: You have to add the following imports :

from selenium.webdriver.support.ui import WebDriverWait
from selenium.webdriver.common.by import By
from selenium.webdriver.support import expected_conditions as EC

Sorry but its not working, please have a look at my code which i have update in my question. Do fix my code if possibe — Zac, Dec 04 '20 at 17:12

You should probably try by id

driver.find_element(By.ID, 'get').click()
