To get the content of an HTML element (such as text inside a tag) using Selenium, you can use the text property of the WebElement. Here's an example in Python:

from selenium import webdriver

# Create a WebDriver instance (e.g., Chrome)
driver = webdriver.Chrome()

# Navigate to a webpage
driver.get("https://example.com")

# Find an element by its CSS selector (replace with your actual selector)
element = driver.find_element_by_css_selector("h1")

# Get the text content of the element
element_text = element.text

print("Element Text:", element_text)

# Close the browser when done
driver.quit()

In this example:

1. A WebDriver instance is created (using Chrome in this case).
2. The browser navigates to a webpage (replace the URL with your desired URL).
3. An HTML element is located using find_element_by_css_selector. You can use other locators such as ID, class name, XPath, etc., based on your needs.
4. The text property of the WebElement is used to retrieve the text content of the element.
5. The text content is printed to the console.

Adjust the CSS selector in the find_element_by_css_selector method to match the HTML element you want to extract content from.

Remember that the text property returns the visible text of the element, excluding any hidden text or text inside child elements. If you need to capture all text content, including hidden elements, you may need to use other methods to extract HTML content and then parse it accordingly.

To reduce constant repetition of find_element() in Selenium, you can use the following techniques:

Store elements in variables:

When you locate an element once, store it in a variable and reuse it throughout the script. This reduces the need to call find_element() multiple times.

from selenium import webdriver

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

# Store the element in a variable
element = driver.find_element(By.ID, "element-id")

# Reuse the element
element.click()

Use loops and lists:

If you need to interact with multiple elements, store them in a list and use a loop to iterate through the elements.

from selenium import webdriver

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

# Find all elements and store them in a list
elements = driver.find_elements(By.CLASS_NAME, "element-class")

# Iterate through the list and interact with each element
for element in elements:
    element.click()

Use explicit waits:

Use explicit waits to wait for an element to become available or visible before interacting with it. This reduces the need to call find_element() multiple times, as the script will wait for the element to be ready.

from selenium import webdriver
from selenium.webdriver.common.by import By
from selenium.webdriver.support.ui import WebDriverWait
from selenium.webdriver.support import expected_conditions as EC

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

# Wait for the element to become visible
wait = WebDriverWait(driver, 10)
visible_element = wait.until(EC.visibility_of_element_located((By.ID, "element-id")))

# Interact with the element
visible_element.click()

Use the all_elements_available attribute:

The all_elements_available attribute is available in some browser drivers, such as ChromeDriver. It returns a list of all elements that match the given selector. You can use this attribute to interact with multiple elements without using loops.

from selenium import webdriver

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

# Get a list of all elements that match the selector
elements = driver.find_elements(By.CLASS_NAME, "element-class")

# Interact with each element
for element in elements:
    element.click()

Remember to replace "https://www.example.com", "element-id", "element-class", and other elements with the actual values for the website you are working with. Also, ensure that the browser driver (e.g., ChromeDriver for Google Chrome) is installed and properly configured in your environment.

In the Windows Settings menu, go to "Network and Internet". At the very bottom, on the left side, find the item "Proxy server" and uncheck it so that it is no longer used. It is also desirable to uncheck the item "Automatic detection of parameters" in the section "Automatic configuration". If this is not done, there is a chance that the proxy will continue to be used. Reboot your laptop.

Proxy servers are needed for Telegram, so that they can substitute their IP address instead of the real one. This procedure makes it possible to avoid blocking and bypass the ban on the messenger in our country. There are three types of protocols that can be set up for Telegram: Socks5, HTTP and MTPROTO. As for the last protocol, its own applications are developed for it.

Both on a PC and on modern cell phones, a built-in utility that is responsible for working with network connections, provides the ability to set up a connection through a proxy server. You just need to enter the IP-address for connection and the port number. In the future all traffic will be redirected through this proxy. Accordingly, the provider will not block it.
