Selenium not getting text depending on the value of the id?


I'm currently working in this website: https://lawebdelaprimitiva.com/Primitiva/Historico%20de%20sorteos/1986.html Tring to obtain the values of the balls, so far i can only get the 7 first values using the for loop that i attach down below, but seems like reached that eigth member to be extracted, is like they dont have any text in their structure.

web='https://lawebdelaprimitiva.com/Primitiva/Historico%20de%20sorteos.html'
driver=webdriver.Chrome(path)
driver.get(web)
lispes=driver.find_element("id","anio")
opciones = lispes.find_elements(By.TAG_NAME, "option")
opciones[-2].click()
for bola in range(20):
    print("--------")
    name='id_sorteo' + str(bola)
    print(name)
    linea=driver.find_element(By.ID, name).text
    print(linea)
driver.close()

I also tried to get the value by not using the ID but the title, getting same results.On the 7 firsts members, it does work, but on the 8th and so on, it doesn't:

linea2=driver.find_element(By.XPATH, '//*[@title="Jueves 30 de Octubre de 1986"]').text
print(linea2)

Any idea? Thank you


Solution

  • Here is one possible solution:

    from selenium import webdriver
    from selenium.webdriver.common.by import By
    from selenium.webdriver.support.select import Select
    from selenium.webdriver.chrome.service import Service
    from selenium.webdriver.support.ui import WebDriverWait
    from selenium.webdriver.support import expected_conditions as EC
    
    
    options = webdriver.ChromeOptions()
    options.add_experimental_option("excludeSwitches", ["enable-automation", "enable-logging"])
    
    service = Service(executable_path='path\to\your\chromedriver.exe')
    driver = webdriver.Chrome(service=service, options=options)
    wait = WebDriverWait(driver, 10)
    
    url = 'https://lawebdelaprimitiva.com/Primitiva/Historico%20de%20sorteos/1985.html'
    driver.get(url)
    # accept cookies
    wait.until(EC.presence_of_element_located((By.CSS_SELECTOR, 'button[aria-label="Consentir"]'))).click()
    # get all dates
    dates = driver.find_elements(By.CSS_SELECTOR, 'select[name="anio"] option')
    
    for idx in reversed(range(len(dates))):
        # select date
        Select(driver.find_element(By.ID, 'anio')).select_by_index(idx)
        print(f"{driver.current_url.split('/')[-1].split('.')[0]} year")
        # get all raffles in the current date
        raffles = driver.find_elements(By.CSS_SELECTOR, 'div[class="title"] ul')
        for raffle in raffles:
            # scroll to current raffle
            driver.execute_script("arguments[0].scrollIntoView(true);", raffle)
            print(raffle.text)
    
    driver.quit()
    

    Output:
