Looping through driver.get() giving ConnectionRefusedError: [Errno 61] Connection refused error

Question

Trying to read a list of URLs from .csv file and scrape product price. Any suggestions to loop through urls would be great. I can return price and title of first product and then I get a connection refused error.

    data_list = []

    for row in readCSV:

            data_list.append(data)
            driver.refresh()
            time.sleep(5)

driver.quit()


df = pd.DataFrame(data_list)
df.to_csv('test_1.csv', index=False)

I believe it’s because of the driver.quit(), you’re using it before the for is complete. Try moving it to another path within the code when finished. I also recommend using try and catch in your python application in selenium, I believe it will be easier to find errors.

Try like this:

try:
        xxxxxxxxxx
        for url in urls:
         xxxxxxx
    finally:
        driver.quit()
