How to get status code by using selenium py python code

Question

I am writing a selenium script using python, but I think I don't see any information about - How to get HTTP status code from selenium Python code.

Kindly let me know if anyone knows about it

Answer 1

Unfortunately, Selenium does not provide this information by design. There is a very lengthy discussion about this, but the short of it is that:

1. Selenium is a browser emulation tool, not necessarily a testing tool.
2. Selenium performs many GETs and POSTs during the process of rendering a page and adding an interface for that would complicate the API in ways the authors resist
