soup = BeautifulSoup(html, "lxml")
tags = soup.find_all('a')
fname = "C:/Stock_in_CFD/Output.txt"
text_file = open(fname, "w+", encoding="utf-8")
for tag in tags:
t = tag.get('href')
text_file.write(t)
When I am running the above code. I am getting error
TypeError: write() argument must be str, not None
When I am not using selenium I am able to do it.
I am using selenium since I want scroll down entire page before parsing before using BeautifulSoup
