TypeError : WebElement is not iterable

Question

In my Python script I am trying to scrape a Twitter page for up to 5 scrolls but my script is throwing a TypeError stating that WebElements is not iterable. Any way to solve this issue.

import time

from selenium import webdriver
from selenium.webdriver.common.keys import Keys

path_chromedriver = '/Users/SubrataMohanty/Desktop/chromedriver'
browser = webdriver.Chrome(path_chromedriver)
base_url = u'https://twitter.com/search?q='
query = u'%40sachin_rt'
url = base_url + query

browser.get(url)
time.sleep(1)

body = browser.find_element_by_tag_name('body')

for _ in range(5) :
    body.send_keys(Keys.PAGE_DOWN)
    time.sleep(0.2)

tweets = browser.find_element_by_class_name('tweet-text')

for tweet in tweets :
    print(tweet.text)

Errors :

    for tweet in tweets :
TypeError: 'WebElement' object is not iterable

Answer 1

find_element_by_class_name() returns a single element . You meant to find multiple elements by class name - use find_elements_by_class_name() method (note the s ):

tweets = browser.find_elements_by_class_name('tweet-text')
#                        HERE^
for tweet in tweets :
    print(tweet.text)
