I’m inquiring if there’s a dead-simple method for this specific need — to some degree I completed the task using xpath, but the method also targets unwanted elements and (as always) I prefer using the least complicated means when viable.
With this Target
I find the first matching element (the download icon):
//*[contains(@class, 'font_icon download_icons clickable start icon_download_start')]
How to proceed through all following elements (around a hundred on the page with the same class)?
As I’m attempting to batch download, a delay between actions is also integral (the filesizes are small and a minute or two is more than enough — no need to verify that the downloads have finished or anything.
