Extracting text from element after using driver.find_elements_by_id [duplicate]

Question

I am looking to extract the data in a table, which I have located doing the following:

from selenium import webdriver

driver = webdriver.Chrome()
driver.get("https://fortnitetracker.com/events/epicgames_S11_CC_Contenders_EU")

player = driver.find_elements_by_id("row0")
print(player)

From player I get

[<selenium.webdriver.remote.webelement.WebElement (session="a15cc6e3b18c893aa11262b3daa87786", element="1aef44eb-dec2-415b-a3da-7187a143387e")>]

And now I would like to retrieve the data that is in the table. How do I do that?

EDIT: I should have said, that when I do

text = player.text[0]

I get

AttributeError: 'list' object has no attribute 'text'

No. When I do .text I get AttributeError: "list" object has no attribute "text" — LibraryOfAlexandria

I am an idiot. I did player.text[0] instead of player[0].text. Code that works:

from selenium import webdriver

driver = webdriver.Chrome()
driver.get("https://fortnitetracker.com/events/epicgames_S11_CC_Contenders_EU")

player = driver.find_elements_by_id("row0")
text = player[0].text
print(text)
