How to complete login forms on Instagram using Selenium WebDriver and Python?

QA 0

While attempting to log into Instagram using Selenium the traditional way, if you’re unable to fill in the login fields, it’s necessary to make a couple of tweaks as the Login form is done in ReactJS. Python code for Selenium WebDriver leveraged with AppRobotic Personal Edition below:

Python Code:

import win32com.client x = win32com.client.Dispatch("AppRobotic.API") from selenium import webdriver from selenium.webdriver.support.ui import WebDriverWait from selenium.webdriver.support import expected_conditions as EC from selenium.webdriver.common.by import By


# navigate to Instagram

driver = webdriver.Firefox()

driver.get('https://www.instagram.com')

# sleep 1 second

x.Wait(1000)
# attach to the 'login' button on homepage

login_link = browser.find_element_by_xpath(

'//*[@id="react-root"]/section/main/article/div[2]/div[2]/p/a')

# navigate to login page

login_link.click()

# wait for the username field to appear and type in username WebDriverWait(browser, 20).until(EC.element_to_be_clickable((By.CSS_SELECTOR, "input[name='username']"))) x.Type("AppRobotic")
