Code:



team1 = 
team2 =

url = "https://www.basketball-reference.com/leagues/NBA_2019_games.html"

driver = webdriver.Chrome(executable_path=r"chromedriver.exe")
driver.implicitly_wait(30)
driver.get(url)

soup1 = BeautifulSoup(driver.page_source, 'lxml')

for i in range(len(soup1.find_all('a', href=True, text='Box Score'))):

driver.find_elements_by_link_text('Box Score')[i].click()
driver.implicitly_wait(10)

soup2 = BeautifulSoup(driver.page_source, 'lxml')
scorebox = soup2.find_all('div',{'class':'scorebox'})[0]

team1.append(scorebox.find_all('a', itemprop='name')[0].text.strip())
team2.append(scorebox.find_all('a', itemprop='name')[1].text.strip())

driver.implicitly_wait(10)
driver.execute_script("window.history.go(-2)")


Error:



---------------------------------------------------------------------------
IndexError Traceback (most recent call last)
<ipython-input-2-b1355c7b0c2e> in <module>()
12 for i in range(len(soup1.find_all('a', href=True, text='Box Score'))):
13
---> 14 driver.find_elements_by_link_text('Box Score')[i].click()
15 driver.implicitly_wait(10)
16

IndexError: list index out of range


Basically I want to scrape team names from each match but then it stops after random amount of iterations. (I would sometimes get 10 sample count, or sometimes 50, and it stops with the error above.
