Dual How to refresh URL with Selenium
Did you know that you can refresh a URL using Python? Usually, to refresh a page we have to do it manually. However, we can automate the process with just a few lines of code. We
will use the Selenium module for this. Install the following:
pip install selenium
pip install webdriver-manager
Now, let’s write the code. I am using the chrome web browser, so I will need chrome dependencies. If you are using another browser, you will need to install a driver for that browser. So,
we need the URL link of the website that we want to open. The time is the seconds we want to wait before refreshing the page. The code will automatically refresh the page once the waiting time is over.
import time
from selenium import webdriver
from selenium.webdriver.chrome.service import Service
from webdriver_manager.chrome import ChromeDriverManager # Url to open andrefresh
url = "url to open and refresh" # installs web driverfor chrome
driver = webdriver.Chrome(service=Service(ChromeDriverManager().install()))
driver.get(url)
# waiting time beforerefresh
time.sleep(10)
driver.refresh()
