How to Use the Selenium Click Command?

- We can find the button on the web page by using methods like find_element_by_class_name(), find_element_by_name(), find_element_by_id() etc, following which we can click on it by using the click() method.
# finding the button using ID
button = driver.find_element_by_id(ID)

import time
# importing webdriver from selenium
from selenium import webdriver
