Selenium Can Not Scrape Shopee E-commerce Site Using Python

I am not able to pull the price of products on Shopee (a e-commercial site). I have taken a look at the problem solved by @dmitrybelyakov (link: Scraping AJAX e-commerce site usin

Solution 1:

You can use requests and the search API for the site

import requests

headers = {
    'User-Agent': 'Mozilla/5',
    'Referer': 'https://shopee.com.my/search?keyword=h370m'
}

url = 'https://shopee.com.my/api/v2/search_items/?by=relevancy&keyword=h370m&limit=50&newest=0&order=desc&page_type=search'  
r = requests.get(url, headers = headers).json()

foritemin r['items']:
    print(item['name'], ' ', item['price'])

---

If you want roughly the same scale:

for item in r['items']:
    print(item['name'], ' ', 'RM' + str(item['price']/100000))

Solution 2:

To extract the price of products on Shopee using Selenium and Python you can use the following solution:

• Code Block:

  from selenium import webdriver
  from selenium.webdriver.support.ui import WebDriverWait
  from selenium.webdriver.common.by import By
  from selenium.webdriver.support import expected_conditions as EC
  
  options = webdriver.ChromeOptions()
  options.add_argument('--headless')
  options.add_argument('start-maximized')
  options.add_argument('disable-infobars')
  options.add_argument('--disable-extensions')
  browserdriver = webdriver.Chrome(chrome_options=options, executable_path=r'C:\WebDrivers\chromedriver.exe')
  browserdriver.get('https://shopee.com.my/search?keyword=h370m')
  WebDriverWait(browserdriver, 20).until(EC.element_to_be_clickable((By.XPATH, "//div[@class='shopee-modal__container']//button[text()='English']"))).click()
  print([my_element.text for my_element in WebDriverWait(browserdriver, 20).until(EC.visibility_of_all_elements_located((By.XPATH, "//span[text()='RM']//following::span[1]")))])
  print("Program Ended")
  

• Console Output:

  ['430.00', '385.00', '435.00', '409.00', '479.00', '439.00', '479.00', '439.00', '439.00', '403.20', '369.00', '420.00', '479.00', '465.00', '465.00']
  Program Ended
  

Solution 3:

When visiting the website. I come across this popup https://gyazo.com/0a9cd82e2c9879a1c834a82cb15020bd. I am guessing, why selenium cannot detect the xpath you are looking for, is because this popup is blocking the element.

right after starting the selenium session, try this:

popup=browserdriver.find_element_by_xpath('//*[@id="modal"]/div[1]/div[1]/div/div[3]/button[1]')
popup.click()
