How to use Selenium IDE on Google Colabs without requirement of custom library e.g. Kora?

Question

Aim to control an eToro account from site with signals of buying and selling given to Selenium API.

Using Selenium on local machine is done using this code:

from selenium import webdriver
PATH = "C:\Chrome Webdriver\chromedriver.exe"
driver = webdriver.Chrome(PATH)

Doing this online through Colabs is more difficult as importing working chomedriver software is not as straightforward. Have had some consideration of using the Kora library: https://yugdamor.medium.com/selenium-inside-google-colab-febe6d797ce4?source=friends_link&sk=3954d724ca6dc396c3af89b289c0e802.

Kora does not seem to offer the same exact features as Selenium, such as being able to control the webpage itself; navigation and clicking on elements. What efficient ways are there to either import chromedriver to Colabs or use Kora in the way intended?

Answer 1

If you use my kora library, the path to chromedriver is /usr/bin/chromedriver.

You can also look under the hood here selenium.py.

It's just a few lines of code to help you install selenium and chrome on Colab.
