Not being able to fetch data from sites in selenium

I'm working with python, selenium. I'm typing a keyword which is then being searched on google. In the results section, I am trying to open the URLs one by one and storing the data of the p tag.
But in my script, it is storing data of only one site. Can anyone help on this to store the data of p tag of all the opened sites?
from selenium import webdriver
from selenium.webdriver.common.keys import Keys
from selenium.webdriver.common.by import By
import time
"""
Taking input from user
"""
search_input = input("Input the keyword you want to search for:")
search_input = search_input.replace(' ', '+')
driver = webdriver.Chrome(executable_path="E:\chromedriver\chromedriver.exe")
for i in range(1):
matched_elements = driver.get("https://www.google.com/search?q=" +
search_input + "&start=" + str(i))
print(driver.title)
driver.maximize_window()
time.sleep(5)
links_url = driver.find_elements_by_xpath("//div[#class='yuRUbf']/a[#href]")
links = []
for x in links_url:
links.append(x.get_attribute('href'))
link_data = []
for new_url in links:
print('new url : ', new_url)
driver.get(new_url)
link_data.append(driver.page_source)
"""

content = driver.find_elements(By.TAG_NAME, "p")
for data in content:
print(data.text)
driver.back()
driver.close()

Here is the edited answer, first I misunderstood your question:
from selenium import webdriver
from selenium.webdriver.common.keys import Keys
from selenium.webdriver.common.by import By
import time
"""
Taking input from user
"""
search_input = input("Input the keyword you want to search for:")
search_input = search_input.replace(' ', '+')
driver = webdriver.Chrome(executable_path="E:\chromedriver\chromedriver.exe")
for i in range(1):
matched_elements = driver.get("https://www.google.com/search?q=" +
search_input + "&start=" + str(i))
print(driver.title)
driver.maximize_window()
time.sleep(5)
links_url = driver.find_elements_by_xpath("//div[#class='yuRUbf']/a[#href]")
links = []
for x in links_url:
links.append(x.get_attribute('href'))
link_data = []
for new_url in links:
print('\nnew url : ', new_url)
driver.get(new_url)
#Getting the data from the site
try:
link = driver.find_elements(By.TAG_NAME, "p")
for p in link:
print(p.get_attribute("innerText"))
except:
continue
driver.quit()

How to I go through a for() loop without opening webdriver.Chrome() repeatedly?

My current code is:
import time
import numpy as np
import requests
from bs4 import BeautifulSoup as soup
from selenium import webdriver
first_page_url = 'https://store.steampowered.com/tags/en/Action/#p=0&tab=NewReleases'
first_url = 'https://store.steampowered.com/tags/en/Action/#p='
rest_url = '&tab=NewReleases'
driver = webdriver.Chrome()
driver.get(first_page_url)
soup_page = driver.page_source
print(type(soup_page))
soup_page = soup(driver.page_source,'lxml')
page_numbers = soup_page.find('div',{'id':'NewReleases_ctn'})
page_numbers = page_numbers.text.split()
#print(page_numbers)
last_page_number = page_numbers[13]
print(last_page_number)
last_page_number = last_page_number.replace(',','')
last_page_number = int(last_page_number)
last_page_number = last_page_number / 15
print(last_page_number)
last_page_number = round(last_page_number)
pages = range(0,last_page_number)
index_number = 0
nana = 1
for page in pages:
page = first_url + str(pages[index_number]) + rest_url
print(type(page))
driver = webdriver.Chrome()
driver.get(page)
time.sleep(5)
soup_page = driver.page_source
#print(type(soup_page))
soup_page = soup(driver.page_source,'lxml')
new_releases = soup_page.find('div',{'id':'NewReleasesRows'})
containers = new_releases.find_all('a',{'class':'tab_item'})
container = containers[0]
driver.close()
for container in containers:
title = container.find('div',{'class':'tab_item_name'}).text
print(nana,title)
nana = nana + 1
index_number =index_number + 1
The code works as intended except, that every time it loops through the first for loop, it opens the driver.Chrome().
Is there a way of using the opened browser, again and again, other than opening a new one every time it loops through?

driver object is created global and you are again invoking chrome in commented line. So remove that line and all pages will work in same chrome.
for page in pages:
page = first_url + str(pages[index_number]) + rest_url
print(type(page))
// driver = webdriver.Chrome()
driver.get(page)

Would loop all 71 pages instead. Without the need for grabbing any page number or etc.
driver = webdriver.Chrome()
wait = WebDriverWait(driver, 10)
driver.get(first_page_url)
while True:
try:
wait.until(EC.element_to_be_clickable((By.XPATH,"//span[not(#class='pagebtn disabled')and #id='NewReleases_btn_next']"))).click()
except:
break

Usage:
Install the requirements by running pip install bs4 selenium.
Add geckodriver to the PATH. Follow these instructions.
Put the link of the product in site variable inside the script.
Run the script by running python scrape.py.
Reviews will be saved in the file review.txt.

Python - Selenium next page

I am trying to make a scraping application to scrape Hants.gov.uk and right now I am working on it just clicking the pages instead of scraping. When it gets to the last row on page 1 it just stopped, so what I did was make it click button "Next Page" but first it has to go back to the original URL. It clicks page 2, but after page 2 is scraped it doesn't go to page 3, it just restarts page 2.
Can somebody help me fix this issue?
Code:

As per the url https://planning.hants.gov.uk/SearchResults.aspx?RecentDecisions=True to click through all the pages you can use the following solution:
Code Block:
from selenium import webdriver
from selenium.webdriver.chrome.options import Options
from selenium.webdriver.support.ui import WebDriverWait
from selenium.webdriver.common.by import By
from selenium.webdriver.support import expected_conditions as EC
options = Options()
options.add_argument("start-maximized")
options.add_argument("disable-infobars")
options.add_argument("--disable-extensions")
driver = webdriver.Chrome(chrome_options=options, executable_path=r'C:\Utility\BrowserDrivers\chromedriver.exe')
driver.get('https://planning.hants.gov.uk/SearchResults.aspx?RecentDecisions=True')
WebDriverWait(driver, 20).until(EC.element_to_be_clickable((By.ID, "mainContentPlaceHolder_btnAccept"))).click()
numLinks = len(WebDriverWait(driver, 20).until(EC.visibility_of_all_elements_located((By.CSS_SELECTOR, "div#ctl00_mainContentPlaceHolder_lvResults_topPager div.rdpWrap.rdpNumPart>a"))))
print(numLinks)
for i in range(numLinks):
print("Perform your scrapping here on page {}".format(str(i+1)))
WebDriverWait(driver, 20).until(EC.element_to_be_clickable((By.XPATH, "//div[#id='ctl00_mainContentPlaceHolder_lvResults_topPager']//div[#class='rdpWrap rdpNumPart']//a[#class='rdpCurrentPage']/span//following::span[1]"))).click()
driver.quit()
Console Output:

hi #Feitan Portor you have written the code absolutely perfect the only reason that you are redirected back to the first page is because you have given url = driver.current_url in the last for loop where it is the url that remains static and only the java script that instigates the next click event so just remove url = driver.current_url and driver.get(url)
and you are good to go i have tested my self
also to get the current page that your scraper is in just add this part in the for loop so you will get to know where your scraper is :
ss = driver.find_element_by_class_name('rdpCurrentPage').text
print(ss)
Hope this solves your confusion

Web scraping using selenium

My intention is to get the name, location, time of posting, title of the review and the whole review content from the web page (http://www.mouthshut.com/mobile-operators/Reliance-Jio-reviews-925812061).
My code :
from bs4 import BeautifulSoup
from selenium import webdriver
from selenium.webdriver.common.desired_capabilities import DesiredCapabilities
firefox_capabilities = DesiredCapabilities.FIREFOX
firefox_capabilities['marionette'] = True
firefox_capabilities['binary'] = '/etc/firefox'
driver = webdriver.Firefox(capabilities=firefox_capabilities)
driver.get('http://www.mouthshut.com/mobile-operators/Reliance-Jio-reviews-925812061')
soup = BeautifulSoup(driver.page_source,"lxml")
for link in soup.select(".profile"):
try:
profile = link.select("p:nth-of-type(1) a")[0]
profile1 = link.select("p:nth-of-type(2)")[0]
except:pass
print(profile.text,profile1.text)
driver = webdriver.Firefox(capabilities=firefox_capabilities)
driver.get('http://www.mouthshut.com/mobile-operators/Reliance-Jio-reviews-925812061')
soup1 = BeautifulSoup(driver.page_source,"lxml")
for link in soup1.select(".col-10.review"):
try:
profile2 = link.select("small:nth-of-type(1)")[0]
profile3 = link.select("span:nth-of-type(3)")[0]
profile4 = link.select("a:nth-of-type(1)")[0]
except:pass
print(profile2.text,profile3.text,profile4.text)
driver = webdriver.Firefox(capabilities=firefox_capabilities)
driver.get('http://www.mouthshut.com/mobile-operators/Reliance-Jio-reviews-925812061')
soup2 = BeautifulSoup(driver.page_source,"lxml")
for link in soup2.select(".more.review"):
try:

count=len(containers)
for index in range(count):

I am getting the output for name, location, time and title of the review but I am unable to get the full review of a user. I would be grateful, if anyone could help me in getting the output for the same, along with the optimization of my code (i.e) I want my code to extract the required data by loading the web page only once. Also, It would be very helpful for me if someone could help me in extracting all the customer reviews of Jio from all the webpages of the website.

You can achieve the same with few lines of code along with lesser pain. However, I've defined here three main categories, as in name, review_title, review_data and the rest of the fields you can twitch very easily.
This is how you can do alternatively:
from selenium import webdriver;import time
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("http://www.mouthshut.com/mobile-operators/Reliance-Jio-reviews-925812061")
wait = WebDriverWait(driver, 10)
for item in wait.until(EC.presence_of_all_elements_located((By.CSS_SELECTOR, ".review-article"))):
link = item.find_element_by_css_selector(".reviewdata a")
link.click()
time.sleep(2)
name = item.find_element_by_css_selector("p a").text
review_title = item.find_element_by_css_selector("strong a[id^=ctl00_ctl00_ContentPlaceHolderFooter_ContentPlaceHolderBody_rptreviews]").text
review_data = ' '.join([' '.join(items.text.split()) for items in item.find_elements_by_css_selector(".reviewdata")])
print("Name: {}\nReview_Title: {}\nReview_Data: {}\n".format(name, review_title, review_data))
driver.quit()
Or to do the same combinedly (selenium + bs4):
from bs4 import BeautifulSoup
from selenium import webdriver;import time
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("http://www.mouthshut.com/mobile-operators/Reliance-Jio-reviews-925812061")
wait = WebDriverWait(driver, 10)
for items in wait.until(EC.presence_of_all_elements_located((By.CSS_SELECTOR, ".review-article"))):
link = items.find_element_by_css_selector(".reviewdata a")
link.click()
time.sleep(2)
soup = BeautifulSoup(driver.page_source,"lxml")
for item in soup.select(".review-article"):
name = item.select("p a")[0].text
review_title = item.select("strong a[id^=ctl00_ctl00_ContentPlaceHolderFooter_ContentPlaceHolderBody_rptreviews]")[0].text
review_data = ' '.join([' '.join(items.text.split()) for items in item.select(".reviewdata")])
print("Name: {}\nReview_Title: {}\nReview_Data: {}\n".format(name, review_title, review_data))
driver.quit()
