How to select the text in the div using Selenium?

Question

Hi everyone I am very new to selenium, just trying out one scraper for my project. I want to select the text present in that div element which I have marked with red color. I have tried using this:

driver.find_element(
        "/html/body/div[1]/div[2]/div[1]/div[1]/div[2]/div[1]/div[1]/div[1]/div[1]/div[1]/div[1]/div[1]/div"
    )

Please help me out, or suggest me a good tutorial. Thanks a lot :)

driver.find_element_by_xpath(ELEMENT_XPATH).text

Use XPath not Full XPath

Try to find Relative xpath. The xapth for that element would be:

//div[contains(@class,'valueValue')]
Or
//div[starts-with(@class,'valueValue')]

To extract the text from that element:

data = driver.find_element_by_xpath("//div[contains(@class,'valueValue')]")
value = data.text
# Or
value = data.get_attribute('innerText')
