Im trying to scrape the dropdown menu but it is not working

[globalwarm]

I'm trying to use Python and Selenium to scrape the options from a dropdown menu in a Google Form, but the code is not working as expected. I'm able to locate other elements on the form, but the dropdown menu seems to be inaccessible.

Code Snippet (example): Python

from selenium import webdriver from selenium.webdriver.support.ui import Select

... (other setup code)

dropdown = Select(driver.find_element_by_id('dropdown_id')) # Replace 'dropdown_id' with the actual ID options = [option.text for option in dropdown.options]

print(options) # This doesn't print the expected dropdown options

Use code with caution.

Expected Behavior:

The code should retrieve a list of all the options available in the dropdown menu.

Actual Behavior:

The code might not print anything, indicating it's not finding the dropdown.
It might raise an exception like NoSuchElementException if the element with the specified ID is not found.
It might print an empty list, suggesting the dropdown is found but its options are not being extracted correctly.

Incorrect element locator (ID, name, etc.) for the dropdown menu The dropdown menu might be dynamically loaded, requiring additional waiting or handling The form structure might have changed, rendering the existing code outdated There might be an issue with the Selenium version or browser compatibility Double-checked the element locator using browser developer tools Tried using different locators (e.g., XPath, CSS selector) Added explicit waits using WebDriverWait to ensure the dropdown is fully loaded Inspected the network requests to see if the dropdown options are fetched dynamically Updated Selenium and Chromedriver to the latest versions

Also Check Selenium version: (mention your version) Chromedriver version: (mention your version) Browser: (mention the browser you're using) Google Form URL (if possible, share a link or a simplified version of the form for testing)
