I am new to Python and web scraping. I am a beginner in programming and am still practicing. I am using Python and Selenium for web scraping. And using Chat GPT to help me. Keep in mind it is still a work in progress:)

I am trying to scrape the data from exhibition websites like (Heimtextil). My goal is to find and scrape the company's website links, as well as the addresses and contact information from the exhibitor pages. From that, the details get put into an Excel document.

I'm specifically having trouble with finding the class="a-link--no-focus" & herf="link".

Exhibitor List

Exhibitor Page

I can get the company name just fine, I just can't get the code to find/open the exhibitor pages from the exhibitor list.

Here is a picture of the end result and output on the terminal

End Result

I would really appreciate your help!
