Printing Text from Element Selenium Python

Question

I want to print this part to the console. (marked) Image

This is my last try:

I get this error with my last try:

Unable to locate element:

{"method":"xpath","selector":"//*[@id="react-root"]/section/main/div/ul/li[2]/a/span"}

Keep in my this text changes.

followers = driver.find_element_by_xpath('//*[@id="react-root"]/section/main/div/ul/li[2]/a/span').GetAttribute("innerHTML")

print("Followers: " + followers)

And if you have one, does this answer it? [How to get text with Selenium WebDriver in Python](https://stackoverflow.com/questions/20996392/how-to-get-text-with-selenium-webdriver-in-python) — Yevhen Kuzmovych, Jul 24 '21 at 16:09
The text changes, and when i try to locate it using XPath it cant find it. — Zetlex DK, Jul 24 '21 at 16:12

You can use the below xpath :

//a[contains(@href, 'followers')]/span

and there isn't any GetAttribute method available in Selenium - Python binding.

Instead you can use :

followers = driver.find_element_by_xpath("//a[contains(@href, 'followers')]/span").get_attribute("innerHTML")
print("Followers: ", followers)

Can you check this

followerTxt=driver.find_element_by_xpath("((//a[@class='-nal3 ']/span)[2])")

print("Total followers: ",followerTxt.text)

I've check based on the element index

This is my Output
