Instagram Comment Scraping, Scrapes Username instead of comment

So I am trying to scrape usernames and comments from multiple posts. Using this code below.

driver.close()
df = pd.DataFrame(list(zip(user_names, user_comments)),
columns =['Name', 'Comments'])
#df.to_excel('ujicoba_gabung_IG_6.xlsx')
print(df)
But somehow instead of returning username and comment, both user_names and user_comments return usernames. Where did I make a mistake?
Here Are My outputs
I think my problem is on the for loop where I declare the container as C4VMK. But I inspected the element on Instagram it is already the same

There are two span in C4VMK class. First in h3 -> first div -> span and second is that one you want.
For getting the second span that is the comment, replace your code with below and get the second element.
content = container.find_elements_by_tag_name('span')[1].text

Your container is correct. However, when you search for a span by tag name like this:
content = container.find_element_by_tag_name('span').text
Selenium will find the first span that is under the content. Which in this case is the username span with the class 'Jv7Aj mArmR MqpiF '.
What you are looking for is the other span that I highlighted in the image, which is a direct child of the container with an empty class.
You can select it like this:
content = container.find_element_by_xpath("/span[#class='']")

Python Selenium - Extract all URL's In Table and iterate until next button disappears

I am trying to extract all URL's and iterate where the next button is pressed until there isn't a next button. I would then like to open each URL if that is possible. Could I be pointed in the right direction for this please.
The website where you need to press the search button is here
Link to Table of URL's that need to be extracted
from selenium import webdriver
from selenium.webdriver.common.by import By
driver=webdriver.Chrome(executable_path=r"C:\Users\matt_\Documents\Python Scripts\Selenium\chromedriver.exe")
driver.get("https://publicaccess.aberdeencity.gov.uk/online-applications/search.do?action=monthlyList")
driver.find_element_by_xpath("/html/body/div/div/div[3]/div[3]/div/form/fieldset/div[5]/input[2]").click()
test = driver.find_elements(By.TAG_NAME,"a")
print(test)

Here is the example what you looking for
from bs4 import BeautifulSoup as Soup
from selenium import webdriver
import pandas as pd
import time
driver = webdriver.Chrome()
driver.get("https://monerobenchmarks.info/")
page = Soup(driver.page_source, features='html.parser')
final_list = []
def parsh_table():
table = page.find('table')
table_rows = table.find_all('tr')
for tr in table_rows:
td = tr.find_all('td')
row = [i.text for i in td]
final_list.extend(row)
def next_bu():
next_button = driver.find_element_by_xpath('//*[#id="cpu_next"]')
next_button.click()
# put range of pages
for _ in range(1,2):
parsh_table()
time.sleep(2)
next_bu()
print(final_list)

You can check the element exists or not with simple logic like this:
if len(driver.find_elements_by_css_selector('.next')) > 0:
Try the below code:
driver.get('https://publicaccess.aberdeencity.gov.uk/online-applications/search.do?action=monthlyList')
search_btn = WebDriverWait(driver, 20).until(EC.element_to_be_clickable((By.CSS_SELECTOR, '.button.primary')))
search_btn.click()
condition = True
while condition:
links = WebDriverWait(driver, 20).until(EC.visibility_of_all_elements_located((By.CSS_SELECTOR, 'li.searchresult a')))
for link in links:
print(link.get_attribute('href'))
if len(driver.find_elements_by_css_selector('.next')) > 0:
driver.find_element_by_css_selector('.next').click()
else:
condition = False
driver.quit()
Following import:
from selenium.webdriver.common.by import By
from selenium.webdriver.support.ui import WebDriverWait
from selenium.webdriver.support import expected_conditions as EC

Here you go
from selenium import webdriver
driver = webdriver.Chrome(executable_path=r"C:\Users\matt_\Documents\Python Scripts\Selenium\chromedriver.exe")
driver.get("https://publicaccess.aberdeencity.gov.uk/online-applications/search.do?action=monthlyList")
driver.find_element_by_css_selector("input[value='Search']").click()
def parse():
links = driver.find_elements_by_xpath('//*[#id="searchresults"]/li/a')
for link in links:
print(link.text, link.get_attribute("href"))
try:
driver.find_element_by_class_name('next').click()
parse()
except:
print('complete')

#time.sleep(1)
The div html tag having 2 tags, one is having jsname as 'fbQN7e' which is there for holding the bigger reviews and those reviews will have button called "Full Review". Another one span within the same div html tag is 'bN97Pc' which is there to hold smaller reviews which wont have 'Full review' button at the end of this review. I couldn't get reviews of both types of span. Here I tried to write reviewFullText list directly to dataframe, but getting only element datatype, not text. I don't know why this too happening.
for btn in review_btn:
btn.click()
reviewFullText = driver.find_elements_by_css_selector("span[jsname='fbQN7e']")
#if(single_review_btn.is_enabled()==False):
#reviewText = driver.find_elements_by_css_selector("span[jsname=\"bN97Pc\"]")
##else:
#pass
# Iterating each reviews and appending into list Reviews
for txtreview in reviewText:
reviewFullText.append(txtreview.text)
print(len(reviewFullText))
# Writing the list values into csv file
df = pd.DataFrame(reviewFullText)
#df = pd.DataFrame({'Reviews': 'Reviews'}) #'Sentiment': 'null'})
df.to_csv('Reviews.csv', index=True, encoding='utf-8')
driver.close()

I have modified your solution to retrieve all review from the page.

Unable to parse data inside h4 tag: Python3

I am facing an issue while parsing data from the 'Literature ' tab from the third table. The steps I took to reach the table:
Go to ibl.mdanderson.org/fasmic/#!
Type and select AKT1 (3 mutations) (NOTE:'GO' button doesn't work, please click the option from the drop-down)
Click on the green button with the text 'MS', a new table will appear.
In this new table, there will be a tab called literature, I need the literature text and the PMID.
I tried the following code, but it gives an empty list:
xyz= driver.find_element_by_xpath("//*[contains(text(),'Literature')]").click()
for elements in driver.find_elements_by_xpath('//div[#class="tab-pane ng-scope active"]'):
soup = BeautifulSoup(driver.page_source, 'lxml')
table = soup.find('div', attrs={'id': "literature_div"})
table_body = table.find('h4')
rows = table.find_all('h4')
for row in rows:
cols = row.find_all('h4')
# cols = [ele.text.strip() for ele in cols]
litrature.append([ele for ele in cols if ele]) # Get rid of empty value
print("Data from COLUMN 1:")
print(litrature)
How can I resolve this?
UPDATE
When I try to click on the 'Next ' button under the 'literature' table, I get the following error:
"Message: The element reference of is stale; either the element is no longer attached to the DOM, it is not in the current frame context, or the document has been refreshed "
Following is the line I added to click on the "NEXT" buton: driver.find_element_by_xpath('//a[#ng-click="selectPage(page + 1, $event)"]').click()
How can I resolve this?

you need to wait 3 times

from selenium.webdriver.common.by import By
from selenium.webdriver.support.ui import WebDriverWait
from selenium.webdriver.support import expected_conditions as EC
driver = webdriver.Chrome()
driver.get('https://ibl.mdanderson.org/fasmic/#!/')
WebDriverWait(driver, 5).until(EC.presence_of_element_located((By.XPATH , '//input')))
input = driver.find_element_by_xpath("//input")
input.send_keys("AKT1\n")
button = WebDriverWait(driver, 5).until(EC.presence_of_element_located((By.CLASS_NAME , 'btn-tab-avail')))
button.click()
driver.find_element_by_xpath("//*[contains(text(),'Literature')]").click()
WebDriverWait(driver, 5).until(EC.presence_of_element_located((By.CSS_SELECTOR, '#literature_div h4')))
rows = driver.find_elements_by_css_selector("#literature_div h4")
litrature = []
for item in rows:
item = item.text
litrature.append(item)
print("Data from COLUMN 1:")

Like this? Someone with more knowledge of python waits can certainly improve on my wait lines.

Parsing a site where URL doesn't change with Selenium Python

I'm trying to scrape [this][1] site its URL doesnt change when next page is clicked on. So, I used Selenium to click on the next page, but doing that doesnt help. As my driver keeps getting the old page even after next page is clicked on. Is there any other way to get to the next page and scrape it?

You need to make sure when you reach the next page, the content of the earlier page has become stale otherwise, you will have stale element error or get the same thing repeatedly. Try the below approach, it should get you there. The rest you can modify yourself.
