Today, We will log in to Instagram using the Selenium to do this task.
Package needed:
- Selenium package
# for Windows
pip install selenium
# for Linux/Max
pip3 install selenium
# or
sudo -H pip3 install selenium
- Chromedriver compatible with the existing chrome version download
imports:
from selenium import webdriver
from selenium.common.exceptions import NoSuchElementException
import time
constants:
URL = "https://www.instagram.com/accounts/login/"
EXE_PATH = r"C:\Users\vinayak\Documents\chromedriver_win32\chromedriver"
ChromeDriver class:
class ChromeDriver:
def __init__ (self, username, password):
self.username = username
self.password = password
self.driver = webdriver.Chrome(executable_path=EXE_PATH)
self.driver.implicitly_wait(10)
def login(self):
self.driver.get(URL)
self.driver.maximize_window()
self.driver.find_element_by_xpath(
"/html//form[@id='loginForm']/div//input[@name='username']"
).send_keys(self.username)
self.driver.find_element_by_xpath(
"/html//form[@id='loginForm']/div/div[2]/div//input[@name='password']"
).send_keys(self.password)
self.driver.find_element_by_xpath(
"/html//form[@id='loginForm']//button[@type='submit']"
).click()
# to clean popups after login
self.afterLogin()
def afterLogin(self):
try:
self.driver.find_element_by_xpath(
"//button[contains(text(),'Save Info')]"
).click()
except NoSuchElementException:
print("no save Info")
try:
self.driver.find_element_by_xpath(
"//*[contains(@class, 'aOOlW HoLwm ')]"
).click()
except NoSuchElementException:
print("no notification box")
time.sleep(100)
Here, we have two functions:
- login: this function opens Instagram and login to Instagram
- afterlogin: after logging Instagram shows some popups, this function removes them
Testing code:
def main():
username = input("enter username: ")
password = input("enter password: ")
test = ChromeDriver(username, password)
test.login()
if __name__ == " __main__":
main()
