Using Selenium to Retrieve data

Question

I've been teaching myself Python and Selenium to automate a claim submission. I've managed to stumble through with lots searching and trial and error. However, I haven't been able to solve this last step. After the claim is submitted a claim number is generated:

I haven't been able to figure out how to retrieve this value. To no avail I tried:

claim_number=claim_number_element.getAttribute('value')

Any help or guidance would be appreciated.

P.S. there is also a button which copies that value to the clipboard. So if there is an easy way to grab the data from the clipboard that is another solution.

.text or .getText() would be the right one. – Arundeep Chohan Mar 27 '21 at 05:05 — Arundeep Chohan, Mar 27 '21 at 05:05

If you're working with python and selenium, it's a bit incorrect api for driver instance in selenium python library:

claim_number=claim_number_element.getAttribute('value')

try that:

claim_number=claim_number_element.get_attribute('value')

or

claim_number=claim_number_element.text
