How to Use Selenium in Python (2025)

Want to automate your browser with Python? In this beginner-friendly tutorial, you'll learn *how to use Selenium in Python* to control a web browser—perfect for web scraping, automated testing, form filling, and much more.

*Selenium* is a powerful Python library that allows you to programmatically interact with websites just like a human would—clicking buttons, filling out forms, navigating pages, and even waiting for dynamic content to load.

🔹 What You’ll Learn:

What Selenium is and when to use it
How to install Selenium in Python
Setting up a WebDriver (Chrome, Firefox, Edge)
Launching a browser and opening a website
Finding elements by ID, class, name, XPath, and CSS selector
Typing into forms, clicking buttons, and submitting data
Waiting for elements to load (implicit and explicit waits)
Closing the browser properly
Bonus: Headless mode for running Selenium without opening the browser window

📌 Installation Command:

```bash
pip install selenium
```

📁 WebDriver Setup:
Download the corresponding WebDriver for your browser (e.g., ChromeDriver) and add it to your system PATH or specify its location in your script.

📌 Example Code:

```python
from selenium import webdriver
from selenium.webdriver.common.by import By

Setup
driver = webdriver.Chrome()
driver.get("https://www.example.com")

Interact with elements
search_box = driver.find_element(By.NAME, "q")
search_box.send_keys("Selenium in Python")
search_box.submit()

Close the browser
driver.quit()
```

💡 Tip: Use `WebDriverWait` and `expected_conditions` to handle dynamic web pages and JavaScript-rendered content.

Whether you're building test automation, scraping web data, or exploring browser control with Python, Selenium is an essential tool every developer should know.
