3. Usage

from ak_selenium import Chrome, By, Keys

# Create a new Chrome browser instance

# Navigate to a webpage
driver.get("https://example.com")

# Wait for an element to load

chrome.Wait_for_locator(locator)

# Fill a form
element = browser.driver.find_element_by_id("my-form")
browser.fill_userinput_form(element, "Hello, world!")

# Pass selenium session to requests
s = chrome.session

# Get a website
s.get("https://www.iana.org/domains/reserved")

# Get a list of websites
## Will randomize requests to not trigger bot detection
s.bulk_get(["https://www.iana.org/domains/reserved", "https://www.example.com"])
