Is there a way to use PhantomJS in Python?

by

The easiest way to use PhantomJS in python is via Selenium. The simplest installation method is

  1. Install NodeJS
  2. Using Node’s package manager install phantomjs: npm -g install phantomjs-prebuilt
  3. install selenium (in your virtualenv, if you are using that)

After installation, you may use phantom as simple as:

from selenium import webdriver

driver = webdriver.PhantomJS() # or add to your PATH
driver.set_window_size(1024, 768) # optional
driver.get('https://google.com/')
driver.save_screenshot('screen.png') # save a screenshot to disk
sbtn = driver.find_element_by_css_selector('button.gbqfba')
sbtn.click()

If your system path environment variable isn’t set correctly, you’ll need to specify the exact path as an argument to webdriver.PhantomJS(). Replace this:

driver = webdriver.PhantomJS() # or add to your PATH

… with the following:

driver = webdriver.PhantomJS(executable_path="/usr/local/lib/node_modules/phantomjs/lib/phantom/bin/phantomjs")
