when I try to get li elements inside a ul I only get one li and nothing else

Issue

I’m trying to build a data extract for my company and I need to get the data inside a html list but when I execute my code I only get the text of a single li element below I shared my code.

screenshots of the site source and my result.

My code:

from selenium import webdriver
driver = webdriver.Safari()

driver.get("http://turkosb.com/kaynarca-mobilya-ihtisas-organize-sanayi-bolgesi.html")


results = driver.find_element_by_xpath("//ul[@class='firma-info']/li")
print(results.text)

But despite my efforts the result I get is the same I only get the text from first li element like this:

Solution

Its because driver.find_element_by_xpath is returning first element. It may highlight to all the li in the DOM, but you are asking to find a single element and it returns the first one.

Use find_elements to find all the li tags and iterate to get the text from them.

results = driver.find_elements_by_xpath("//ul[@class='firma-info']/li")
for result in results:
     print(result.text)
