Python Selenium ConnectionRefusedError No connection could be made because the target machine actively refused it

Question

This is the code I am using to scrape. I am trying to crawl through the pages.

for i in range(0,3):
    url="https://www.edureka.co/community/users?start=" + str(i*200)
    driver.get(url)
    time.sleep(3)
    driver.quit()

Loop runs one time and then I get this error.

ConnectionRefusedError: [WinError 10061] No connection could be made because the target machine actively refused it

Answer 1

When you use driver.quit(), it closes the complete browser session. When you are using in a loop I find it better to use driver.close()

Try this:

for i in range(0,3):
    url="https://www.edureka.co/community/users?start=" + str(i*200)
    driver.get(url)
    time.sleep(3)
    driver.close()
