Python selenium can't find the search box in ebay - python

I am trying to get python selenium to click on the description box for eBay selling but it can't find it. I have tried to switch to the frame but it can't find them either. This is the code I have now.
driver.switch_to.frame('v4-183txtEdit_st')
driver.find_element_by_xpath('//*[#id="v4-183txtEdit_st_wr"]/div[2]').click()
This is an image of the description box I am trying to get selenium to click on.
This is it but with inspect element.

I was already in another frame so I had to exit. This is the code I used.
driver.switch_to.parent_frame()

Using python and chromedriver, how to click on a specific button of a pop-up window when I cant find his ID?

I have a code in python that uses selenium chromedriver to reach a webpage and collect some data but I want to solve a issue related with a pop-up window. For example, if you go to this webpage https://finance.yahoo.com/quote/BAC?p=BAC you will get two pop-up windows. One is for the acceptance of the collection of personal data (image below) and this I can handle well with the following code:
...
# Go to the website:
driver.get(main_url)
# Click accept button
driver.find_element(By.NAME, "agree").click()
...
The second one (image below) however I'm not being able to dismiss. I want the code to click on the "Maybe later" button but I cant find the button ID. Can someone help me?

How can I click "invisible" reCAPTCHA buttons using Selenium web automation?

I am using Python and Selenium to automate this website: https://prenotami.esteri.it
The script I made fills out a form and then clicks a button to advance to the next page. These actions are carried out using Selenium's find_element_by_xpath() function. Recently, the website added a reCAPTCHA that pops up after the button is clicked, and must be completed before advancing.
I have already written a Python script that is capable of surpassing this type of captchas by using the audio option. However, in this particular website, I am not able to find the xpath to the audio button of the reCAPTCHA. Although there is an iframe that contains the reCAPTCHA, there seems not to be anything inside it.
In the first attached image you can see how this website's reCAPTCHA looks like in HTML, compared to other website that is visible in the second image, where a #document can be seen inside the iframe.
My intention is to run this program using headless Chrome, so I can't relay in any mouse control functions offered by pyautogui for example.
I've been scratching my head around this problem for a while, so any advice is useful. Thanks!
Edit: after some research I have found that this type of reCAPTCHA that doesn't need to check a "I am not a robot" checkbox is called "invisible reCAPTCHA". The captcha only pops up if the detected activity is suspicious (for example clicking too fast). I have tried adding random waits and movements to mimic human behaviour, but the captcha still appears after some tries. Since I don't think there is a way to avoid the captcha from appearing 100% of the times, the question of how to click the buttons using Selenium's find_element_by_xpath() function remains the same. Leaving this as a note just in case someone finds it useful.
Ever tried to use the following function:
add_argument("-auto-open-devtools-for-tabs")
I managed to interact with captcha
If the position is always fixed, you can use PyAutoGUI to move the mouse and click on it
import pyautogui
pyautogui.click(100, 100) # button coordinates
Since, it is in iframe, we need to move our selenium pointing to iframe and then use your xpath.
driver.switch_to.frame("c-la7g7xqfbit4")
capchaBtn = driver.find_element_by_xpath("(//button[#id='recaptcha-audio-button'])[2]")

How can I click on 'Show more matches' on the Flashscore website using Selenium library in Python to scrape hidden information?

I am working on scraping data from the Flashscore website.
https://www.flashscore.com/football/albania/superliga-2019-2020/results/
Although I can find the links for most of the matches that are visible once the above page loads, there are many matches that are hidden and can only be accessed by clicking on 'Show more matches'.
Snapshot of the page
I found the class for 'Show more matches' (event__more event__more--static) and used the '.click()' method of the selenium library in Python but the output is null. Also, I tried various other implementations of clicking this link but couldn't get it working.
Is there any other way I can click on the link and extract the information in Python? Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Note: I also haven't found any classes where all of this information is hidden.
You can use the execute_script() driver method to achieve this. It's used for executing JavaScript in the current window/frame.
You can find the code snippet below-
driver.get('https://www.flashscore.com/football/albania/superliga-2019-2020/results/')
show_more_button=driver.find_element_by_xpath('//*[#id="live-table"]/div[1]/div/div/a') #find the show more results element
driver.execute_script("arguments[0].click();", show_more_button)

Trouble clicking box without text using selenium python safari WebDriver

I'm having trouble clicking a box using selenium on python. Im going to add all the info I can on here.
I am using the safari WebDriver.
The first picture here shows what the webpage looks like in inspect element mode. I am trying to click on the board titled "ANSYS".
This second picture shows the box where the hyperlink is contained in. I am trying to click this hyperlink. My current code goes something like
driver.implicitly_wait(20)
boards_button = driver.find_element_by_class('board-tile')
boards_button.click()
My logic for using find_element_by_class is based on noticing that the hyperlink is inside the class "board-tile". I have also tried:
by_name('ANSYS')
find_element_by_link_text('ansys')
find_element_by_partial_link_text('ansys')
This third picture shows where the text is placed in the inspect element viewer.
Any advice is greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance.
