TypeError: __init__() got an unexpected keyword argument 'executable_path'

This part keeps returns error and I don't know how to fix this. I thought this might be because the version of chrome and chromedriver is different so I tried to download the same version. But the version for chrome is 116.0.5845.97 and there aren't the same version of chromedriver available for me to download. It would be wonderful if you can tell me a way to fix this error. please send help

With selenium v4.10.0, you need to pass executable_path in Service class. Refer below:

from selenium import webdriver
from selenium.webdriver.chrome.service import Service

service = Service(executable_path='./chromedriver.exe')
options = webdriver.ChromeOptions()
driver = webdriver.Chrome(service=service, options=options)

Having said that, if you do not want to set the chromedriver.exe path manually, then you can simplify the code as below:

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

Selenium's new tool Selenium Manager will do the download and management of driver.exe for you.
