Save a Web Page with Python Selenium
We can save a webpage with Selenium webdriver in Python. To save a page we shall first obtain the page source behind the webpage with the help of the page_source method.
We shall open a file with a particular encoding with the codecs.open method. The file has to be opened in the write mode represented by w and encoding type as utf−8. Then use the write method to write the content obtained from the page_source method.
Syntax
n = os.path.join("C:\Users\ghs6kor\Downloads\Test", "PageSave.html") f = codecs.open(n, "w", "utf−8") h = driver.page_source f.write(h)
Let us make an attempt to save the below webpage −
Example
from selenium import webdriver import codecs #set chromedriver.exe path driver = webdriver.Chrome(executable_path="C:\chromedriver.exe") driver.implicitly_wait(0.5) #maximize browser driver.maximize_window() #launch URL driver.get("https://www.tutorialspoint.com/index.htm") #get file path to save page n=os.path.join("C:\Users\ghs6kor\Downloads\Test","Page.html") #open file in write mode with encoding f = codecs.open(n, "w", "utf−8") #obtain page source h = driver.page_source #write page source content to file file.write(h) #close browser driver.quit()
Output
On opening the Page.html file in a browser.
