Selenium python loop over links

March 30, 2023

Hi I want to loop over links I am retrieving from an access database and then get each link a number of times my code is as follows the problem is it gets to the second link and stops

count=0
for link in df['Links']:
    while count < 2:
        driver = webdriver.Chrome(executable_path=path, options=options)
        driver.get("" + link)
        time.sleep(100)
        driver.close()
        count = count + 1

>Solution :

I think it makes more sense to use a for-loop in this case:

for link in df['Links']:
    for _ in range(2):
        driver = webdriver.Chrome(executable_path=path, options=options)
        driver.get("" + link)
        time.sleep(100)
        driver.close()

_ is a variable, much like x or count would act, but conventionally it’s used when the variable is not used, such as this case.
