I am using python2.7 with beautiful Soup4 and Selenium webdriver. Now in my webautomation script i will open the link or URL and get into the home page. Now I need to click onto some anchor Labels to navigate through other pages.I did till now. now when i will be going to a new page, I need to get the new URL from the browser as I need to pass it Beautiful Soup4 for webpage scraping. So now my concern is how to get such URLs dynamic way?

Please advice if any!

You get current_url attribute on the driver:

from selenium import webdriver
browser = webdriver.Firefox()
browser.get('http://www.google.com')
print(browser.current_url)
