I am trying to scrape each product page from aliexpress website in order to get number of comments, number of photos published by the custumer and also the custumer country and put it to a dataframe.
I have written a code that scrape custumer country but I don't know how to get the number of custumer comments and the number of images.
This is my code :
from selenium import webdriver
from selenium.webdriver.common.by import By
from webdriver_manager.chrome import ChromeDriverManager
from selenium.webdriver.support.ui import WebDriverWait
from selenium.webdriver.support import expected_conditions as EC
import pandas as pd
url = 'https://www.aliexpress.com/item/1005003801507855.html?spm=a2g0o.productlist.0.0.1e951bc72xISfE&algo_pvid=6d3ed61e-f378-43d0-a429-5f6cddf3d6ad&algo_exp_id=6d3ed61e-f378-43d0-a429-5f6cddf3d6ad-8&pdp_ext_f=%7B%22sku_id%22%3A%2212000027213624098%22%7D&pdp_pi=-1%3B40.81%3B-1%3B-1%40salePrice%3BMAD%3Bsearch-mainSearch'
driver = webdriver.Chrome(ChromeDriverManager().install())
driver.get(url)
wait = WebDriverWait(driver, 10)
driver.execute_script("arguments[0].scrollIntoView();", wait.until(EC.visibility_of_element_located((By.CSS_SELECTOR, '.tab-content'))))
driver.get(wait.until(EC.visibility_of_element_located((By.CSS_SELECTOR, '#product-evaluation'))).get_attribute('src'))
data=[]
while True:
for e in driver.find_elements(By.CSS_SELECTOR, 'div.feedback-item'):
try:
country = e.find_element(By.CSS_SELECTOR, '.user-country > b').text
except:
country = None
data.append({
'country':country,

try:
wait.until(EC.visibility_of_element_located((By.CSS_SELECTOR, '#complex-pager a.ui-pagination-next'))).click()
except:
break
pd.DataFrame(data).to_csv('filename.csv',index=False)
I would appreciate any help from you! Thank you !
If you want numbers of comments / reviews, you can just check the value in this section :
driver.find_element(By.XPATH, 'XPATH_OF_ELEMENT_TO_SCRAP')
To do so in your exemple lets do this outside your loop :
number_feedbacks = driver.find_element(By.XPATH, '//*[#id="transction-feedback"]/div[1]')
number_images = driver.find_element(By.XPATH, '//*[#id="transction-feedback"]//label[1]/em')
If you dont understand or know this function, please feal free to ask and I will explain where I found theses XPATH.We also can use find by id function.
In your code it would be :
from selenium import webdriver

I got a dataframe that contains links to google reviews of two restaurants. I wanted to load all reviews of two restaurants (one by one) into the browser and then save them into a new data frame. I wrote a script that reads and load all reviews into the browser as follow:

The problem is that script throws an error when it reaches the following line.
driver.execute_script('arguments[0].scrollIntoView(true);', all_reviews[-1])
It throws following error:
StaleElementReferenceException: Message: stale element reference: element is not attached to the page document
(Session info: chrome=95.0.4638.69)
When I tried the same program without storing google links in dataframe (i.e. no for loop and instead of base_url = i['Link'], I wrote base_url = google review link) it works fine.
I am not sure where I am making the mistake. Any suggestion or help to fix the issue would be highly appreciated?
EDIT
you put the creation of driver outside the for loop
you cant launch the new url with gps data when the first popup is always in front, if you launch it, it stays in backdoor, the easier way is to launch a new url without gps data -> https:ww.google.com and wait 3 dec before to follow your loop:
your count is not good, i have changed your selector and change the total and set some lines in comment

it seems the solution for chrome needs some fixes:
org.openqa.selenium.StaleElementReferenceException: stale element reference: element is not attached to the page document
The literal meaning is about , The referenced element is out of date , No longer attached to the current page . Usually , This is because the page has been refreshed or skipped , The solution is , Reuse findElement or findElements Method to locate the element .
so its seems for chrome there is a problem of refreshing, so i suggest to load the number of record before to scroll, to have a fresh copy of DOM items, and i have to add a wait 1sec at the end of while loop

You are using a wrong XPath locator.
Instead of

Try using
rating = person.find_element_by_xpath("./g-review-stars/span").get_attribute('aria-label')

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.

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.
