Answer 1

If you're using only selenium to find element you can try to get this element using find_element_by_xpath.

To get xpath fast and easy you can right-click element in Chrome DevTools and in "Copy" section there is the "Copy xpath" option.

Answer 2

To print the text 4 hours 30 minutes you can use either of the following Locator Strategies:

• Using css_selector and get_attribute("innerHTML"):

  print(driver.find_element(By.CSS_SELECTOR, "div.lab-preamble__details.subtitle-headline-1 > span").get_attribute("innerHTML"))
  

• Using xpath and text attribute:

  print(driver.find_element(By.XPATH, "//div[@class='lab-preamble__details subtitle-headline-1']/span").text)

Ideally you need to induce WebDriverWait for the visibility_of_element_located() and you can use either of the following Locator Strategies:

• Using CSS_SELECTOR and text attribute:

  print(WebDriverWait(driver, 20).until(EC.visibility_of_element_located((By.CSS_SELECTOR, "div.lab-preamble__details.subtitle-headline-1 > span"))).text)
  

• Using XPATH and get_attribute("innerHTML"):

  print(WebDriverWait(driver, 20).until(EC.visibility_of_element_located((By.XPATH, "//div[@class='lab-preamble__details subtitle-headline-1']/span"))).get_attribute("innerHTML"))
  

• Note : You have to add the following imports :

  from selenium.webdriver.support.ui import WebDriverWait
  from selenium.webdriver.common.by import By
  from selenium.webdriver.support import expected_conditions as EC
