How to extract the value of the src attribute using Selenium

I have problems with something I don’t even know the name.

I’m trying to reach the link next to where it says src= "LINK" with selenium.

I have class name = tWeCI, I guess I need to achieve using this but I have no idea how to do it.

Code trials:

from selenium import webdriver
from selenium.webdriver.common.by import By

browser = webdriver.Chrome()
browser.get("https://www.instagram.com/p/CYMHMEGBSRT/")
a = browser.find_element(by=By.CLASS_NAME, value="tWeCl")

Output:

>Solution :

To print the value of the href attribute you have to induce WebDriverWait for the visibility_of_element_located() and you can use either of the following Locator Strategies:

• Using CSS_SELECTOR:

  driver.get('https://www.instagram.com/p/CYMHMEGBSRT/')
  print(WebDriverWait(driver, 20).until(EC.visibility_of_element_located((By.CSS_SELECTOR, "video.tWeCl"))).get_attribute("src"))
  

• Using XPATH:

  driver.get('https://www.instagram.com/p/CYMHMEGBSRT/')
  print(WebDriverWait(driver, 20).until(EC.visibility_of_element_located((By.XPATH, "//video[@class='tWeCl']"))).get_attribute("src"))

  from selenium.webdriver.support.ui import WebDriverWait
  from selenium.webdriver.common.by import By
  from selenium.webdriver.support import expected_conditions as EC
