【python×selenium】getting article’s title from search result of google

Hello, I am Kota.

I’m a  Japanese university student, grade three.

I’m not good at English. So, if you find mistakes, please let me know.

 

Today, I will introduce program for getting article’s title from search result of google.

Overview of the program

・Getting article’s title on first page

・Using python3.7.3 and selenium

 

Source Code

from selenium import webdriver
import time
from selenium.webdriver.common.keys import Keys

#setting search words
keywords = ['python','automate']

#ready to search words
searchSentence = ''
for keyword in(keywords):
	searchSentence += (keyword + ' ')

#add return key for search faster
searchSentence += '\n'

waitTime = 2

driver = webdriver.Chrome()
url = "https://google.com"
driver.get(url)
time.sleep(waitTime)

inputBoxElement = driver.find_element_by_xpath('//*[@id="tsf"]/div/div/div/div/div/input')
inputBoxElement.send_keys(searchSentence)
time.sleep(waitTime)

titleElements = driver.find_elements_by_class_name('LC20lb')

#element change to text
#list can't change to text, so change one each
titles = []
for titleElement in(titleElements):
	titles.append(titleElement.text)

for title in(titles):
	print(title)

#finish selenium
driver.quit()

 

Result

 

furthermore

This program is not thought about exception.

So, next, I should add exception handling.

 

This program is just collect only title of first page.

I want to add function such as collecting other information, saving on Excel and so on.

thank you.
