To print the value of the title attribute you can use either of the following Locator Strategies:

  • Using css_selector:

    print(driver.find_element(By.CSS_SELECTOR, "a[class*='na13'][href='/top_ukraine_girls/followers/']>span").get_attribute("title"))

  • Using xpath:

    print(driver.find_element(By.XPATH, "//a[@class='-na13' and @href='/top_ukraine_girls/followers/']/span").get_attribute("title"))

Ideally you need to induce WebDriverWait for the visibility_of_element_located() and you can use either of the following Locator Strategies:

  • Using CSS_SELECTOR:

    print(WebDriverWait(driver, 20).until(EC.visibility_of_element_located((By.CSS_SELECTOR, "a[class*='na13'][href='/top_ukraine_girls/followers/']>span"))).text)

  • Using XPATH:

    print(WebDriverWait(driver, 20).until(EC.visibility_of_element_located((By.XPATH, "//a[@class='-na13' and @href='/top_ukraine_girls/followers/']/span"))).get_attribute("innerHTML"))

  • Note : You have to add the following imports :

    from selenium.webdriver.support.ui import WebDriverWait
from selenium.webdriver.common.by import By
from selenium.webdriver.support import expected_conditions as EC

print(followers_button.get_attribute('title'))

I am assuming you want to get the title attribute value using get_attribute and not the text.

In case /html/body/div[1]/section/main/div/header/section/ul/li[2]/a/span is a corrct XPath locator

followers_button_text = browser.find_element_by_xpath('/html/body/div[1]/section/main/div/header/section/ul/li[2]/a/span').text
print(followers_button_text)

Should work
