To extract the value of any of the attributes of a WebElement, you have to use the get_attribute() method from selenium.webdriver.remote.webelement module.

This usecase

To extract the value of the href attribute from WebElement(s) you can use the following line of code:

  • From a single element:

    print(bro.find_elements(By.TAG_NAME,'a').get_attribute("href"))

  • From a list of elements:

    print([my_elem.get_attribute("href") for my_elem in driver.find_elements(By.TAG_NAME,'a')])
