            Scraping issues in Linkedin Sales Navigator
            Asked 2021-Aug-06 at 10:07

            I am trying to scrape details of a few companies and their leads from the Linkedin Sales Navigator. To login, I have created a textfile named config.txt which has the username and password. The problem is that, It logins successfully, only to display another login page.

            So, For eg: If I login through https://www.linkedin.com/checkpoint/rm/sign-in-another-account it logins successfully but then straightaway gives me another login page like: https://www.linkedin.com/sales/login

            If I repeat the process for the 2nd url, then ideally it should give me the homepage of salesnavigator, but it again gives me the same page ie. https://www.linkedin.com/sales/login

            Linkedin Login Code

            As Ben said in the comment that Linkedin uses bot detector and for the same reason you are unable to login. For this reason you have used some additional chrome options.

            Create new variables/class instances inside for-loop? Python web scraping
            Asked 2021-Mar-29 at 17:46

            I am currently working on a web scraper that will take urls as inputs, find the page, scrape it, then return results in a CSV. The scraper works well for single URL's at a time. But unfortunately whenever it writes a new line to the scrape results CSV it also appends the previous url's scrape results in each column. I need a loop that will essentially create new class variables inside the loop so that this doesn't happen. Something like that does this: Takes list of urls, then also creates unique class instance.

            Could you try instantiating a new driver each time? That should reset counters in driver for you.

            Next time you use try except, try to make use of the exception error that's being thrown instead of just silently handling it. In your case you were getting a NoSuchElementException and you didn't see it.

            To handle that exception you can use find_elements_by_class_name instead of find_element_by_class_name that returns a list and check if that list includes any elements. Slight modifications fixed your code.
