The issue I seem to be having is that I cannot find any way to access the network traffic responses in firefox using selenium (Python). I know that solutions exist for the Chrome webdriver, but for my case I need to use the Firefox version. I've been trying to figure this out for like have a day and I'm pulling out my hair at this point. Is there any way to get these responses?

solution using browsermob-proxy. Not exactly what I wanted, but it does give all the requests and all the responses.

I am trying to interact with a webpage that has strong bot detection measures. This means I cannot use things like Requests, Scrapy or Selenium as they get detected. Even Undetected Chromedriver doesn't work.
I just need to perform a few simple clicks on the site so am trying to implement something using Pyautogui.
However, I still need to find whether certain elements exist. Is there a way of doing this without using those libraries?

I want to extract information from a news site. When I run the Python script, there is a browser that launches and connects to an X site to extract the information I need.
Each time when I want to extract information, the browser must restart on each execution.
I want to leave the browser always launched, then I execute at any time a script which allows to extract the information.
Do you have an idea please? Thank you in advance.
There are 2 ways:
1) don't close the browser window once you open it.
don't use this: driver.close())
2) don't send a get request each time you modify your code.
don't do this more than once: driver.get("some url")

I've been looking for this answer for quite long but still with no results. I'm working with selenium and I need to override one request which is generated after the submit button has been clicked. It contains data in json format under "Request payload" in chrome dev tools. I found something like seleniumwires which provides some functionality like request.overrides but I'm not sure it is working as I want. Can anyone give me some hint where to start or which tools are approporiate to do that ?

What options do I set for chromedriver so that the web server cannot tells the browser is manually launched or programming launched using Selenium?
Thanks,
The Webserver you try to access has no way of knowing how the browser has been launched. It can only detect (or rather, guess) that it's an automated browser when said browser shows atypical behavior for a human (e.g. makes loads of requests per seconds, clicks 2 things with no delay whatsoever). Therefor it doesn't matter how you launch the browser - just how you use it.

I am attempting to scrape Google search results as the results I receive using the API are not as useful as the results from the main site.
I am using the python requests library to grab the search page. However I am receiving an error:
Instant is off due to connection speed. Press Enter to search.
Is there any way I can disable instant search?
thanks
Python has a search api for python already, might save you some heartache.
