I'm having trouble replying to a tweet link using selenium and python. I tried find_element_by: id, xpath, class_name and more and not having any luck. I just cantt find the element. Is Twitter making this impossible?

1Is there any particular reason for using Selenium? Twitter has an API that allows automated interactions (subject to API limits), for which there are a number of Python libraries. – asongtoruin Feb 01 '18 at 10:25

Questions seeking debugging help ("why isn't this code working?") must include the desired behavior, a specific problem or error and the shortest code necessary to reproduce it in the question itself. Questions without a clear problem statement are not useful to other readers.

I got it to work:
driver.get(link)
number = link.split("/")
number = number[len(number) - 1]
driver.find_element_by_id("tweet-box-reply-to-" + number).click()
driver.find_element_by_id("tweet-box-reply-to-" + number).click()
driver.find_element_by_id("tweet-box-reply-to-" + number).send_keys(comment)
driver.find_element_by_id("tweet-box-reply-to-" + number).send_keys(Keys.CONTROL + "\n")
