@CGalactica Try changing line 62 from: acceptCookies = browser.find_element_by_xpath('/html/body/div[4]/div/div/button[1]'); to acceptCookies = browser.find_element_by_xpath('/html/body/div[4]/div/div/button[2]');

[CGalactica]

After changing line 62 the browser window spawned but nothing happened at the login screen. Below error was logged to the console. The username and password fields are not being filled in either fyi.

@CGalactica perhaps you should add a delay before calling the start() function at the beginning of the script. (line 62) I suspect your browser takes a little to long to load thus not finding all the buttons.

If the script can't find your login inputs, just right click on the input field -> inspect element -> right click on the outlined element -> copy full X Path and paste it where the inputs are (line 66 for username and 68 for pass)

Thanks I'll try that. Also, apologies for the belated reply.
