# py-chromedriver-installer
This repository is a fork of [python-chromedriver-autoinstaller](https://github.com/yeongbin-jo/python-chromedriver-autoinstaller), renamed to **py-chromedriver-installer**. It improves upon the original by fixing issues with detecting Chrome versions on Windows and introducing a new function to retrieve the download URL for Chromedriver.
## Key Updates
- **Fixed:** Detection of Chrome versions on Windows.
- **New Feature:** Added the `get_driver_url` function.
### `get_driver_url` Function
This function retrieves the download URL for Chromedriver without performing the actual download. It serves as an alternative to the existing `download_chromedriver` function.
```python
def get_download_url(path: Optional[AnyStr] = None, no_ssl: bool = False):
```
---
## Installation
```bash
pip install py-chromedriver-installer
```
## Usage
Import `py-chromedriver-installer` to automatically handle Chromedriver installation or fetch the driver URL.
### Example: Auto-Installation
```python
from selenium import webdriver
import py_chromedriver_installer
py_chromedriver_installer.install() # Automatically downloads the correct version of Chromedriver,
# then adds it to PATH.
driver = webdriver.Chrome()
driver.get("http://www.python.org")
assert "Python" in driver.title
```
### Example: Get Chromedriver Download URL
```python
from py_chromedriver_installer import get_driver_url
url = get_driver_url() # Retrieves the Chromedriver download URL for the current Chrome version.
print("Chromedriver download URL:", url)
```
