Can I run Selenium on Replit? If I can, then how do I do it?

I want to scrape dynamically loaded sites in Replit. How can I do it?

Hi @zaieem

Yeah, you can run Selenium on Replit (note that you will have to do stuff with Nix, like chromedriver is a nix package). I can give you projects of other people with selenium on replit if you want.

That would be great! Thank you!
By the way, I would like to use Selenium with Python.

Cool,

This seems to not be using nix, so this is not the best

I think this topic will be useful:

Can't get the chromedriver to work

I’ve narrowed down jobs based on what I do in Google jobs. I’m trying to use selenium to click each job and then when the new part of the page loads on the right side, to copy all href links showing where to apply (eg. If the job is “Manager” and you can apply on LinkedIn, Indeed, and Monster, it will copy the links for each of the possible application locations). The issue is that I cannot get chromedriver working. I’m also a total noob so that’s probably another issue… Blockquote from selen…

I had a deleted project (restored it) and it used selenium.

IIRC there is some Replit documentation too if I can find it I’ll edit this

Edit: can’t find any in docs but I did find this…

I know that’s selenium in general but it could be useful maybe idk
