How can I click on elements using Selenium Python?

Question

I'm trying to generalize much as possible a code in order to scrape eBay website. I am now stuck in this situation:

this is the following URL where I start:

https://www.ebay.co.uk/sch/i.html?_from=R40&_nkw=iphone+12&_oac=1

I want to click on the "More filters" button and then select specifically the 'Brand' option and get the list of the available brands.

This is what I was able to do till now:

url = 'https://www.ebay.co.uk/sch/i.html?_from=R40&_nkw=iphone+12&_oac=1'
driver = webdriver.Chrome()
driver.get(url)
driver.find_element_by_id('s0-14-11-0-1-2-6-2').click()

after click() the sub panel is open and I get what I need to change:

<div role="tab" class="x-overlay-aspect " data-aspecttitle="aspect-Brand" aria-selected="false" aria-controls="refineOverlay-subPanel" id="c3-mainPanel-Brand"><span class="x-overlay-aspect__label">Brand</span><svg focusable="false" aria-hidden="true" class="x-overlay-aspect__check-icon svg-icon icon-check" role="img" aria-label="Filter applied"><use xlink:href="#svg-icon-check"></use></svg></div>

if I select manually (i.e. clicking with the cursor) on 'Brand' here is what I get back:

<div role="tab" class="x-overlay-aspect active" tabindex="0" data-aspecttitle="aspect-Brand" aria-selected="true" aria-controls="refineOverlay-subPanel" id="c3-mainPanel-Brand"><span class="x-overlay-aspect__label">Brand</span><svg focusable="false" aria-hidden="true" class="x-overlay-aspect__check-icon svg-icon icon-check" role="img" aria-label="Filter applied"><use xlink:href="#svg-icon-check"></use></svg></div>

Unfortunately, I barely know Javascript so, althought there are other similar posts, I don't know how to keep going from here in order to get finally the information I need.

I hope you can help and I thank you in advance!

To click More filters and then to click on Brand you need to induce WebDriverWait for the element_to_be_clickable() and you can use either of the following Locator Strategies:

Code Block:

driver.get("https://www.ebay.co.uk/sch/i.html?_from=R40&_nkw=iphone+12&_oac=1")
WebDriverWait(driver, 20).until(EC.element_to_be_clickable((By.XPATH, "//button[contains(., 'More filters')]"))).click()
WebDriverWait(driver, 20).until(EC.element_to_be_clickable((By.XPATH, "//span[text()='Brand']"))).click()

Note: You have to add the following imports :

from selenium.webdriver.support.ui import WebDriverWait
from selenium.webdriver.common.by import By
from selenium.webdriver.support import expected_conditions as EC
