I am trying to scrape some information for a website using selenium below is the link to the website http://www.ultimatetennisstatistics.com/playerProfile?playerId=4742
the information i am trying to get is under the player 'statistics' my code right now opens the player's profile and then opens the player's statistics page i am trying to find a way to extract the information in the player's statistics page below is my code so far
from bs4 import BeautifulSoup
from selenium import webdriver
driver = webdriver.Chrome()
driver.get("http://www.ultimatetennisstatistics.com/playerProfile?playerId=4742")
soup = BeautifulSoup(driver.page_source,"lxml")
try:
dropdown = driver.find_element_by_xpath('//*[@id="playerPills"]/li[9]/a')
dropdown.click()
bm = driver.find_element_by_id('statisticsPill')
bm.click()
for i in soup.select('#statistics table.table tr'):
print(i)
data1 = [x.get_text(strip=True) for x in i.select("th,td")]
print(data1)
except ValueError:
print("error")

To extract the information of the player's from the Statistics page you can use the following solution:
Code Block:
from selenium import webdriver
from selenium.webdriver.support.ui import WebDriverWait
from selenium.webdriver.common.by import By
from selenium.webdriver.support import expected_conditions as EC
options = webdriver.ChromeOptions()
options.add_argument("start-maximized")
options.add_argument('disable-infobars')
driver=webdriver.Chrome(chrome_options=options, executable_path=r'C:\Utility\BrowserDrivers\chromedriver.exe')
driver.get("http://www.ultimatetennisstatistics.com/playerProfile?playerId=4742")
WebDriverWait(driver, 20).until(EC.element_to_be_clickable((By.XPATH, "//ul[@id='playerPills']//a[@class='dropdown-toggle'][normalize-space()='Statistics']"))).click()
WebDriverWait(driver, 20).until(EC.element_to_be_clickable((By.XPATH, "//ul[@class='dropdown-menu']//a[@id='statisticsPill'][normalize-space()='Statistics']"))).click()
statistics_items = WebDriverWait(driver, 10).until(EC.visibility_of_any_elements_located((By.XPATH, "//table[@class='table table-condensed table-hover table-striped']//tbody//tr/td")))
statistics_value = WebDriverWait(driver, 10).until(EC.visibility_of_any_elements_located((By.XPATH, "//table[@class='table table-condensed table-hover table-striped']//tbody//tr//following::th[1]")))
for item, value in zip(statistics_items, statistics_value):
print('{} {}'.format(item.text, value.text))
Console Output:
Ace % 4.0%
Double Fault % 2.1%
1st Serve % 68.7%
1st Serve Won % 71.8%
2nd Serve Won % 57.3%
Break Points Saved % 66.3%

Double Fault Against % 7.2%
1st Srv. Return Won % 3.4%
2nd Srv. Return Won % 34.2%
Break Points Won % 55.3%
Return Points Won % 44.9%
Return Games Won % 42.4%
Points Dominance 33.3%
Games Dominance Total
Break Points Ratio 1.29
Total Points Won % 2.31
Games Won % 1.33
Sets Won % 54.4%
Matches Won % 59.7%
Match Time 77.2%
The problem is with the location of this line -
soup = BeautifulSoup(driver.page_source,"lxml")
It should come AFTER you have clicked on the "Statistics" tab. Because then only the table loads and soup can parse it.
Final code -
from selenium import webdriver
from bs4 import BeautifulSoup
import time
driver = webdriver.Chrome(executable_path=r'//path/chromedriver.exe')
driver.get("http://www.ultimatetennisstatistics.com/playerProfile?playerId=4742")
try:
dropdown = driver.find_element_by_xpath('//*[@id="playerPills"]/li[9]/a')
dropdown.click()
bm = driver.find_element_by_id('statisticsPill')
bm.click()
driver.maximize_window()
soup = BeautifulSoup(driver.page_source,"lxml")
for i in soup.select('#statisticsOverview table tr'):
print(i.text)
data1 = [x.get_text(strip=True) for x in i.select("th,td")]
print(data1)
except ValueError:
print("error")
