Find the reCAPTCHA element and click on it — Python + Selenium

I need some help.
There is URL: https://www.inipec.gov.it/cerca-pec/-/pecs/companies.
I need to click checkbox Captcha:

My code is look like:

import os, urllib.request, requests, datetime, time, random, ssl, json, codecs, csv, urllib
from urllib.request import Request, urlopen
from urllib.request import urlretrieve
from datetime import datetime
from selenium import webdriver
from selenium.webdriver.common.keys import Keys
from selenium.common.exceptions import NoSuchElementException
from selenium.webdriver.common.by import By
from selenium.webdriver.support.ui import WebDriverWait 
from selenium.webdriver.support import expected_conditions as EC
from selenium.common.exceptions import NoAlertPresentException
from selenium.webdriver.chrome.options import Options

chromedriver = "chromedriver"
os.environ["webdriver.chrome.driver"] = chromedriver
chrome_options = webdriver.ChromeOptions()
driver = webdriver.Chrome(executable_path=chromedriver, chrome_options=chrome_options)
driver.get("https://www.inipec.gov.it/cerca-pec/-/pecs/companies")
driver.switch_to_default_content()
element = driver.find_elements_by_css_selector('iframe')[1]
driver.switch_to_frame(element)

driver.find_elements_by_xpath('//*[@id="recaptcha-anchor"]/div[1]').click()

During the execution, there is an error:

driver.find_elements_by_xpath(‘//*[@id=”recaptcha-anchor”]/div1‘).click()
AttributeError: ‘list’ object has no attribute ‘click’

Please, help to fix it.

Method 1

Solution update (11-Feb-2020)

Using the following set of binaries:

• Selenium v3.141.0
• ChromeDriver v80.0
• Chrome Version 80.0

You can use the following updated block of code as a solution:

from selenium import webdriver
from selenium.webdriver.support.ui import WebDriverWait
from selenium.webdriver.common.by import By
from selenium.webdriver.support import expected_conditions as EC

options = webdriver.ChromeOptions() 
options.add_argument("start-maximized")
options.add_experimental_option("excludeSwitches", ["enable-automation"])
options.add_experimental_option('useAutomationExtension', False)
driver = webdriver.Chrome(options=options, executable_path=r'C:WebDriverschromedriver.exe')
driver.get("https://www.inipec.gov.it/cerca-pec/-/pecs/companies")
WebDriverWait(driver, 10).until(EC.frame_to_be_available_and_switch_to_it((By.CSS_SELECTOR,"iframe[name^='a-'][src^='https://www.google.com/recaptcha/api2/anchor?']")))
WebDriverWait(driver, 10).until(EC.element_to_be_clickable((By.XPATH, "//span[@id='recaptcha-anchor']"))).click()

Original solution

Within the URL https://www.inipec.gov.it/cerca-pec/-/pecs/companies to invoke click() on the reCAPTCHA checkbox you need to:

• Induce WebDriverWait for the desired frame to be available and switch to it.
• Induce WebDriverWait for the desired element to be clickable.
• You can use the following solution:

  from selenium import webdriver
  from selenium.webdriver.common.by import By
  from selenium.webdriver.support.ui import WebDriverWait 
  from selenium.webdriver.support import expected_conditions as EC
  from selenium.webdriver.chrome.options import Options
  
  options = webdriver.ChromeOptions() 
  options.add_argument("start-maximized")
  options.add_argument('disable-infobars')
  driver = webdriver.Chrome(executable_path=r'C:WebDriverschromedriver.exe', chrome_options=options)
  driver.get("https://www.inipec.gov.it/cerca-pec/-/pecs/companies")
  WebDriverWait(driver, 10).until(EC.frame_to_be_available_and_switch_to_it((By.CSS_SELECTOR,"iframe[name^='a-'][src^='https://www.google.com/recaptcha/api2/anchor?']")))
  WebDriverWait(driver, 10).until(EC.element_to_be_clickable((By.XPATH, "//span[@class='recaptcha-checkbox goog-inline-block recaptcha-checkbox-unchecked rc-anchor-checkbox']/div[@class='recaptcha-checkbox-checkmark']"))).click()

Method 2

I resolved this, you can try this with your landing website url.

from selenium import webdriver
from selenium.webdriver.support.select import Select
from selenium.common.exceptions import SessionNotCreatedException

options = webdriver.ChromeOptions()
prefs = {"download.default_directory": download_dir}
options.add_experimental_option("prefs", prefs)
options.add_argument("--no-sandbox")
    
driver = webdriver.Chrome("/usr/bin/chromedriver", chrome_options = options)
driver.get("https://www.google.com/recaptcha/api2/demo")

driver.maximize_window()
price = driver.find_element_by_xpath("//div[@class='g-recaptcha']")
price_content = price.get_attribute('innerHTML')
start = str(price_content).find(";k=")+len(";k=")
end = str(price_content).find("&co")
driver.implicitly_wait(20)
driver.execute_script("document.getElementById('g-recaptcha-response').style.display = '';")
recaptcha_text_area = driver.find_element_by_id("g-recaptcha-response")
    
recaptcha_text_area.clear()
recaptcha_text_area.send_keys(price_content[start:end])
    #.....................................................................................
    
button = driver.find_element_by_id("recaptcha-demo-submit")
