Wait and Click

wait_and_click Function

The wait and_click function waits for a specific element, identified by a selector, to appear on the page and then automatically clicks on it. This is particularly useful for interacting with buttons, links, or other interactive elements on the page.

Parameter	Required	Description
selector	Required when wait_and_click is being used	String | The selector for the desired element to be clicked on
timeout	Optional	Integer | Controls the time to allow the click action run in ms
delay	Optional	Integer | The required delay to be added in ms
scroll	Optional	Bool | When true, scroll the selected element into the visible area if it is not already visible.
visible	Optional	Bool | when true, the request will wait for the element to be present in the DOM and to be visible, i.e. to not have display: none or visibility: hidden CSS properties.

Like all Page Interactions, infinite scrolling is capped by the global 120-second session timeout, and will be terminated if this limit is reached.
