Hi. How can I solve the following, copied the response in full:

I have the same issue, any updates on that?

in the new_listings_scraper.py

#latest_announcement = driver.find_element(By.ID, 'link-0-0-p1')
latest_announcement = WebDriverWait(driver,100).until(EC.presence_of_element_located((By.ID, 'link-0-0-p1')))

seems to kinda work?

you also need to add
from selenium.webdriver.support.ui import WebDriverWait
from selenium.webdriver.common.by import By
from selenium.webdriver.support import expected_conditions as EC

Hi @midhatn

I tried your snippet, still not working. Now i receive a selenium timeout exception error. Hence i assume that the ID 'link-0-0-p1' does not exist or has a different name, do you have any idea to where it is referring? In my opinion it should grab the first item of the binance new listings page, but when i inspect the html this object is not referred by ID

If you're only trying to buy/sell a coin at listing, you don't need new_listings_scraper at all. Just comment out the import line and the usage line.

Reason: The purpose of the scraper is to look at Binance Announcements page for new listing annoucements and send you an email. It's entirely secondary to the project's main purpose which is to buy/sell a coin at listing, and totally optional. If you don't care about getting such emails, just get rid of it. It would lighten the load by no longer needing Selenium, and it also means you no longer need to setup SMTP access with password.
