Python, trying to parse strange things

Question

I am trying to parse content from specific website for example https://temp-mail.org/en i want parse Email address, am not familiar with java or what is this idk. Please Help how can i do this? what i have done it only parse content but in content i cant find field with email address. Can u explain what is this

<input class="emailbox-input opentip disabledText" data-original-title="Your Temporary Email Address" data-placement="bottom" data-value="Loading" id="mail" onclick="select(this);" readonly="" type="text"/>

i using this code:

>>>page = requests.get('https://temp-mail.org/en/')
>>>soup = BeautifulSoup(page.text, 'html.parser')
>>>soup

Now i tried with silenium if i am right, but no output...

>>>driver = webdriver.Chrome('/usr/bin/chromedriver', options=options)
>>>driver.get('https://temp-mail.org/en/')
>>> elemts = driver.find_element_by_id(id_='mail')
>>> elemts
<selenium.webdriver.remote.webelement.WebElement (session="4bfd1e55807ce38331d70d93b3e9ff94", element="64def6cd-5c1a-4bf0-bf7e-0419718ac256")>
>>>elemts.text
''

`soup.find(_class = 'emailbox-input')` will get the field. But this is an input field that the user fills in when they go to the site, it won't have any useful information when you scrape it. — Barmar, Jan 23 '20 at 12:25

Yeah i mean had you done any research on how to read the value of an input field. I have added an answer showing this based on your code. — Chris Doyle, Jan 23 '20 at 13:21

If you want to get the value of the email address thats prepopulated by the javascript then just get the value of the input field.

from selenium import webdriver
options = webdriver.ChromeOptions()
driver = webdriver.Chrome()
driver.get('https://temp-mail.org/en/')
elemts = driver.find_element_by_id(id_='mail')
print("Email address:", elemts.get_attribute('value'))

OUTPUT

Email address: kokida8790@etcone.net
