Selenium's Python Module is built to perform automated testing with Python. Selenium Python bindings provide a simple API to write functional/acceptance tests using Selenium WebDriver. After you have installed selenium and checked out - Navigating links using the get method, you might want to play more with Selenium Python. After one has opened a page using selenium such as geeksforgeeks, one might want to click some buttons automatically or fill a form automatically or any such automated task.
This article revolves around how to grab or locate elements in a webpage using locating strategies of Selenium Web Driver. More specifically, find_elements_by_class_name() is discussed in this article. This method returns a list with the type of elements specified. 
To grab a single first element, checkout - find_element_by_class_name() driver method – Selenium Python
Syntax - 
 

driver.find_elements_by_class_name("class-name")


Example - 
For instance, consider this page source: 
 

HTML

Now after you have created a driver, you can grab an element using - 
 

login_form = driver.find_elements_by_class_name('form-control')

How to use driver.find_elements_by_class_name() method in Selenium?


Let's try to practically implement this method and get an element instance for "https://www.geeksforgeeks.org/". Let's try to grab search form input using its class "GSC-input" 
Create a file called run.py to demonstrate find_elements_by_class_name method - 
 

Python3
# Python program to demonstrate
# selenium

# import webdriver
from selenium import webdriver

# create webdriver object
driver = webdriver.Firefox()

# enter keyword to search
keyword = "geeksforgeeks"

# get geeksforgeeks.org
driver.get("https://www.geeksforgeeks.org/")

# get elements
elements = driver.find_elements_by_class_name("gsc-input")

# print complete elements list
print(element)

Now run using - 
 

Python run.py


First, it will open the firefox window with geeksforgeeks, and then select the element and print it on the terminal as shown below. 
Browser Output - 
 

find_element-driver-method-Selenium-Python


Terminal Output -
