Python Selenium Google Search

Simple Python/Selenium project

Getting Started

These instructions will get you a copy of the project up and running on your local machine for testing purposes.

Prerequisites

In order to run the project we need first to download the Firefox geckodriver and add the executable to the operating system's PATH. It can be found at this repository.

Installing and running the project

I. First, clone this repository at some directory, cd into it. Then create a virtual environment:

$ python3 -m venv venv

II. Activate the virtual environment and install the project dependencies:

$ source venv/bin/activate
$ pip install -r requirements.txt

III. Create a json file to use as an input to the application, something like:

{
  "google-me": [
    "Nextel",
    "telefonia do futuro",
    "selenium python"
  ]
}

We have one ready for you ;)

IV. Run the project:

$ python main.py -f [json_file]

It should generate an output.json at the project's directory root, containing the search results from the input file. The results can also be seen in the console.

Also, you can run the unit tests:

$ py.test -v
