In our previous tutorial, we discussed how to install selenium and how the selenium web driver works. In this tutorial, we are going to learn the most used selenium web driver commands. If we have created a web driver object then we can use many commands on the web driver object to perform different tasks.
Now first we will see how to create a web driver object:-
from selenium import webdriver
driver = webdriver.Chrome(path= "D:\Ashish\Desktop\chromedriver.exe")We have created a selenium webdriver object, now we can perform different tasks on webdriver objects with the help of these commands. So let’s start to describe these commands:-

We have listed only webdriver methods, in our coming tutorial, we will cover all the topics one by one so doesn’t worry about these concepts. So we have successfully covered all the selenium web driver methods that are mostly used while fetching data.
Now in the next article, we will discuss How to Fetch Single Data in Selenium Webdriver.
