Selenium scrolling to the bottom does not work as expected
I'm trying to scroll to the bottom of a webpage, but it only scrolls once and stays at that position, and most of the rest of the page is there.
I am using this: _inst.driver.execute_script("window.scrollTo(0, document.body.scrollHeight);")
Do you know where the problem might be?
EDIT: Is there a way to tell selenium that it should scroll to the absolute bottom of the page, or that it should scroll a certain number of times? For example, 5?

To scroll to the bottom of the page, you can send CTRL + END to one of your elements:
from selenium.webdriver.common.keys import Keys
element = driver.find_element_by_ ...
element.send_keys(Keys.CONTROL , Keys.END)
To find an item, there are many options available (see here )

2 easy ways:
so it goes all the way down:
_inst.driver.execute_script("window.scrollTo(0, 10000);")
or find the location of the element at the bottom of the page and highlight its location:
element = find_element('footer')
position = element.location[:y]
_inst.driver.execute_script("window.scrollTo(0, position);")
