Having trouble getting some text. Python. Selenium

Question

Trying to get the Finance data from this div. There is no unique identifier for this div. So, I collect all 3-4 divs check if the word FINANSE appears in the text, if it does, then get the inner div text. However, it doesn't seem to work. Any other approach or what am I missing here? Thanks in advance.

fin_divs = driver.find_elements_by_css_selector('div.card.mb-4')
for div in fin_divs:
    if 'FINANSE' in div.text:
        finances = div.find_element_by_css_selector('div.card-body').text
    else:
        finances = "Finance Data Not Available"

You can simplify your code to select exact element instead of looping through list of elements:

finances = driver.find_element_by_xpath('//div[div="Finanse"]/div[@class="card-body"]').text
print(finances)

Wow!..What is that? Can search for div text in the 'xpath` itself?

@AbhishekRai you can select element with exact text or element that contains some partial text (div[contains(., "<PARTIAL_TEXT>")])

You are doing everything correct, just add break into the if statement to not overwrite finances to "Finance Data Not Available" after finding correct one:

fin_divs = driver.find_elements_by_css_selector('div.card.mb-4')
for div in fin_divs:
    if 'FINANSE' in div.text:
        finances = div.find_element_by_css_selector('div.card-body').text
        break
    else:
        finances = "Finance Data Not Available"
