how to get img from selenium

Question

how to get the image hyperlink by using the selenium package.

from selenium import webdriver 
driver = webdriver.Firefox()
driver.get("http://m.imdb.com/feature/bornondate")
elements = driver.find_elements_by_xpath("//a[@class='poster ']")
li = [["Name","Movie Title","Image"]]
for i in  elements:
    print i.find_element_by_tag_name("img") ##I am not sure how to get the URL
    new_line= i.text.splitlines()
    #print new_line[0] , " " , new_line[1]
    li.append(new_line)

print li

Writing the data to CSV file

with open ('imdb.csv','wb')as fp:
    a = csv.writer(fp, delimiter=',')
    a.writerows(li)

You shouldn't use XPath in this case: //a[@class='poster ']. In terms of HTML, this could just as well be <a class="poster">, <a class=" poster"> or <a class=" poster ">. Better use a CSS selector: a.poster — Kim Homann

To get a element property like src you need to call the get_attribute('attr_name') property.

You just need to add the following code to your for cycle:

for i in elements:
    image = i.find_element_by_tag_name("img")
    img_src = image.get_attribute("src")
