Selenium Python: How to web scrape the element text

Question

I am trying to webscrap data from roulette game. While trying to

find element by class name (roulette_round_result-position__text)

I am getting this output:

<selenium.webdriver.remote.webelement.WebElement (session="d4f20fd17bf4037ed8cf50b00e844a7f", element="f12cf837-6c77-4c90-9da2-7b5fb9da9e5d")>

Any idea how to scrap this value? (In this case number 2)

My code:

number_1=0
    while number_1 == 0:
        try:
            number_1 = self.driver.find_element_by_class_name('roulette-round-result-position__text')
        except:
            pass

print(number1.text) To get the text out. Also include the html as code not a screenshot. — Arundeep Chohan, Dec 16 '21 at 21:51
Also make sure your class name is unique otherwise you would just get another element. — Arundeep Chohan, Dec 16 '21 at 21:52

You are printing the WebElement. Hence you see the output as:

<selenium.webdriver.remote.webelement.WebElement (session="d4f20fd17bf4037ed8cf50b00e844a7f", element="f12cf837-6c77-4c90-9da2-7b5fb9da9e5d")>

Instead you may like to print the text within the element as:

number_1 = self.driver.find_element_by_class_name('roulette-round-result-position__text')
print(number_1.text)

or

print(self.driver.find_element_by_class_name('roulette-round-result-position__text').text)

Thank you for solving this problem – JBTG Dec 17 '21 at 12:05 — JBTG, Dec 17 '21 at 12:05
