Instagram search bar with selenium

问题:

I am working on a program that can type something in the instagram search bar. Here is the code of the website:

<input class="XTCLo x3qfX " placeholder="Rechercher" value="" type="text"> 

I have already seen some posts about that but they did not work with me. Here is my code:

input_search = wait(browser, 10).until( EC.visibility_of_element_located(     (By.XPATH, "//input[@placeholder='Rechercher']") )) action=ActionChains(browser) action.move_to_element(input_search) action.send_keys(search) action.click() action.perform() 

how can I correct that ?

回答1:

Please don't search by placeholder text as it will change with the browser language. You should use the locator which will be consistent across all the browser languages.

In your scenario if the browser language is English then placeholder text will be "Search".

I have modified your code.

Code Snippet:

input_search = wait(browser, 20).until(EC.visibility_of_element_located((By.XPATH, "//input[contains(@class,'XTCLo')]"))) input_search.click() input_search.send_keys("search")
