I'm trying to get some datas from Walmart using Python and BeautifulSoup bs4. Simply I wrote a code for get the all category names and that works: import requests from bs4 import B

Here is good tutotial for Selenium: https://selenium-python.readthedocs.io/getting-started.html#simple-usage.

I've wrote a short script for you to get started. All you need is to download chromedriver(Chromium) and put it to path. For Windows, chromedriver will have .exe resolution

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

driver = webdriver.Chrome(executable_path='/snap/bin/chromium.chromedriver')
driver.get("https://www.walmart.com/browse/snacks-cookies-chips/cookies/976759_976787_1001391")
assert"Walmart.com"in driver.title
wait = WebDriverWait(driver, 20)
wait.until(EC.visibility_of_all_elements_located((By.CSS_SELECTOR, ".product-title-link.line-clamp.line-clamp-2.truncate-title>span")))

elems = driver.find_elements_by_css_selector(".product-title-link.line-clamp.line-clamp-2.truncate-title>span")
for el in elems:
    print(el.text)
driver.close()

Solution 2:

It's because the website is dynamically rendered. So the javascript first need to run before it shows the product. Therefore you need somewhere to run the javascript (bs can't do that) Have a look at the selinium library.
