Answer 1

for python(selenium) you will need:

from selenium import webdriver
from selenium.webdriver import Chrome
from selenium.webdriver.chrome.options import Options

then put your chromedriver.exe path in. the "r" is just to prevent it from detecting the \ and causing errors in python

PATH = r"C:\Program Files (x86)\chromedriver.exe"
driver = webdriver.Chrome(PATH)
options = webdriver.ChromeOptions()

you can now order the driver to get websites

driver.get('http://www.google.com')
