A Python library to automate Tor Browser with Selenium.<\/p>\n

Installation<\/h1>\n

Step 1:<\/h2>\n

Install Tor Browser Selenium Package.<\/p>\n

pip install tbselenium<\/span><\/pre>\n
Step 2:<\/h2>\n
Install geckodriver in your ubuntu machine
\nYou also need to install geckodriver v0.17.0 from the\u00a0geckodriver releases page<\/a>. Make sure you install the v0.17.0 version; newer or older versions will not be compatible with the current Tor Browser series.
\nDownload the geckodriver and extract it. The driver should be move to \/usr\/local\/bin\/ directory and show the below command.<\/p>\n
manivannan@manivannan-whirldatascience:~\/pythonexamle\/selenium_example$ tar -xvf geckodriver-v0.17.0-linux64.tar.gz\r\nmanivannan@manivannan-whirldatascience:~\/pythonexamle\/selenium_example$ sudo cp geckodriver \/usr\/local\/bin\/<\/span><\/pre>\n
Test your geckodriver installation by running the command below; it must return geckodriver 0.17.0:<\/p>\n
geckodriver --version<\/span><\/pre>\n

Step 3:<\/h2>\n
You should\u00a0dow<\/span>nload<\/a>\u00a0and extract TBB and provide its path when you initialize TorBrowserDriver<\/p>\n
manivannan@manivannan-whirldatascience:~\/pythonexamle\/selenium_example$ tar -xvJf tor-browser-linux64-7.5.4_en-US.tar.xz<\/span><\/pre>\n
The tar file is extracted and it is directory.<\/p>\n
Step 4:<\/h2>\n
Install\u00a0xvfb<\/code>\u00a0package by running\u00a0apt-get install xvfb<\/code>\u00a0.<\/p>\n
manivannan@manivannan-whirldatascience:~\/pythonexamle\/selenium_example$ sudo apt-get install xvfb<\/span><\/pre>\n
Now we started the program for take a screenshot from web browser.
\nCreate the python file and paste the below code.<\/p>\n
from tbselenium.tbdriver import TorBrowserDriver\r\nfrom os.path import dirname, join, realpath, getsize<\/span>out_img = join(dirname(realpath(__file__)), \"screenshot.png\")\r\nwith TorBrowserDriver(\"\/home\/manivannan\/pythonexamle\/selenium_example\/tor-browser_en-US\") as driver:\r\n driver.load_url('https:\/\/check.torproject.org'<\/a>, wait_for_page_body=True)\r\n print(\"----\"*100)\r\n driver.get_screenshot_as_file(out_img)\r\n print(\"----\"*100)\r\nprint(\"Screenshot is saved as %s (%s bytes)\" % (out_img, getsize(out_img)))<\/span><\/pre>\n
