How to send text to an input element with type attribute as hidden using python and selenium

This error message...

Exception: Message: Element not visible.

...implies that the desired element is not visible.

The main issue is the <input> tag is having an attribute type="hidden".

To send the character sequence 1803345990687013485 to the input field and invoke click() on the button you can use the following solution:

driver.execute_script("document.getElementsByName('id')[0].setAttribute('type','text')")driver.find_element_by_xpath("//input[@name='id']").send_key('1803345990687013485')driver.find_element_by_xpath("//button[@class='btn btn-primary pull-right' and @id='get_likes_button']").click()

For clicking on Get Likes button you can use this code :

get_likes = WebDriverWait(driver, 10).until(EC.element_to_be_clickable((By.ID, "get_likes_button")))  

After that if input type changed from type='hidden' , you can interact with input field as :

input_field = WebDriverWait(driver, 10).until(EC.element_to_be_clickable((By.NAME, "id")))  

It's quite strange to see HTML like this :

<input name="id">  

By the way, hope this will help.

Try below snippet. Hope this will help you.
