Selenium
Selenium is library that can be useful when scraping the web. Unlike the other libraries, Selenium wasn’t originally designed for web scraping. First and foremost, Selenium is a web driver designed to render web pages like your web browser would for the purpose of automated testing of web applications.
Install Selenium
pip install selenium
Use Selenium
from selenium import webdriver
