Get the src value from a list of webelements with Selenium

Question

Hello trying to adapt a solution from this video

#scroller 100 fois pour reveler le plus d'image ( comment etre sur qu'on est à la fin ?)
n_scrolls = 100
for i in range(1, n_scrolls):
    driver.execute_script("window.scrollTo(0, document.body.scrollHeight);")
    time.sleep(5)
    #recupère toutes les balises img puis leurs attribut src (je ne comprend pa bien cette façon d'assigner les elements)
    images = driver.find_elements_by_tag_name('img')
    print(images)
    images = [images.get_attribute('src') for img in images]

But the output is:

[<selenium.webdriver.remote.webelement.WebElement (session="50f35cc8388f3b59df4042bcc09c7079", element="4a4b2838-67d6-4787-a168-9e25e948a21a")>, <selenium.webdriver.remote.webelement.WebElement (session="50f35cc8388f3b59df4042bcc09c7079", element="7e3ae8f5-160a-4da6-b3a7-2be10bad8f3f")>, <selenium.webdriver.remote.webelement.WebElement (session="50f35cc8388f3b59df4042bcc09c7079", element="8c45c421-3f25-4498-85a2-565506835984")>, <selenium.webdriver.remote.webelement.WebElement (session="50f35cc8388f3b59df4042bcc09c7079", element="5ef69be7-13d7-41f1-9ec8-d8ac6e843fdd")>, <selenium.webdriver.remote.webelement.WebElement (session="50f35cc8388f3b59df4042bcc09c7079", element="626ae474-bccc-40c3-ac60-5b5f021b7bf0")>, <selenium.webdriver.remote.webelement.WebElement (session="50f35cc8388f3b59df4042bcc09c7079", element="ea0b589d-8e90-470a-ad59-a661f8d52b31")>

Instead of the img tag element, is it possible to get the src attributes?

@ArundeepChohan i get the error " 'list' object has no attribute 'get_attribute' " that why i have moved it up to see what is inside the list — Code Scooper, Mar 02 '22 at 18:05

I can find the mistake you have made.

Instead of this

images = [images.get_attribute('src') for img in images]

It should be

images = [img.get_attribute('src') for img in images]

Since you are iterating the list.

Now print the list you will get all src values.

print(images)

As images is the list of the <img> elements, while iterating the WebElements within the for loop you need to extract the src attribute from each individual img and also may like to avoid editing the same list and create a different list altogether. So effectively, your line of code will be:

images = driver.find_elements_by_tag_name('img')
print(images)
image_src_list = [img.get_attribute('src') for img in images]
print(image_src_list)
