We can capture network traffic on a specific page using Selenium webdriver in Python. To achieve this, we take the help of the JavaScript Executor. Selenium can execute JavaScript commands with the help of the execute_script method.JavaScript command to be executed is passed as a parameter to this method. To capture the network traffic, we have to pass the command: return window.performance.getEntries() as a parameter to the execute_script method.Syntaxr = driver.execute_script("return window.performance.getEntries();")ExampleCode Implementationfrom selenium import webdriver #configure chromedriver path driver = webdriver.Chrome(executable_path='../drivers/chromedriver') #implicit wait driver.implicitly_wait(0.5) #url launch driver.get("https://www.google.com/") #JavaScript command to traffic r = driver.execute_script("return window.performance.getEntries();") for res in r: ...

Answer − We can download all pdf files using Selenium webdriver in Python. A file is downloaded in the default path set in the Chrome browser. However, we can modify the path of the downloaded file programmatically in Selenium.This is done with the help of the Options class. We have to create an object of this class and apply add_experimental_option. We have to pass the parameters - prefs and the path where the pdf is to be downloaded to this method. Finally, this information has to be sent to the webdriver object.Syntaxop = Options() p = {"download.default_directory": "../pdf"} op.add_experimental_option("prefs", p)ExampleCode ... Read More
