    driver = webdriver.Chrome(options=options)
    driver.get('http://www.example.com')

Hi there,

You’ll need the Chrome driver installed, which is not included in our Python native environment out of the box.

You’ll have the best luck running this as a Docker container. See https://community.render.com/t/running-selenium-python/6840 for more information.

Regards,

Matt
