let us start by checking out the message of the error. To avoid confusion please make sure the error message looks like this. You do not want to be trying fixes that have nothing to do with your error.
Bellow, I make my best attempt at solving the error and present multiple possible solutions.
Solution 1 : use requests
The first solution and the best one in my opinion is to avoid opening the browser.
You can achieve that by using requests.
Take the json of the URL of the page you want to work with, sometimes there is a jquery string that you should remove from the end.
And that’s how you get the json, now you can take the data from the json you have.
If the solution above did not work, please try the solution bellow.
Solution 2 : use selenium automation
The second solution is to use the code bellow as a starting point and edit it according to your needs.
