Low-level API

In this page, you will learn to access selenium and requests objects directly, to implement your own abstractions, if FastRPA does not deliver some feature to you.

Get WebDriver instances

Both FastRPA and Web have a webdriver property that always return a WebDriver instance. An example below shows an access to the object from the FastRPA instance.

1
2
app = FastRPA()
app.webdriver
Output
<selenium.webdriver.remote.webdriver.WebDriver (session="...")>

Now, to access the object from the Web instance.

1
2
web = app.web()
web.webdriver
Output
<selenium.webdriver.remote.webdriver.WebDriver (session="...")>

Get WebElement instances

Every Element instances have an source property that always must return a WebElement instance.

1
2
element = web.element('//*[@id="myElement"]')
element.source
Output
<selenium.webdriver.remote.webelement.WebElement (session="...", element="...")>

Get Session instances

The Web object has a session property, that always return a request's Session object. The session comes with all cookies from the webdriver instance.

1
2
web = app.web()
web.session
Output
<requests.sessions.Session at 0x1099352d0>
