from selenium.webdriver.common.keys import Keys

from selenium.webdriver.common.by import By
import selenium.webdriver.support.expected_conditions as EC
from selenium.webdriver.support.ui import WebDriverWait    

driver = webdriver.Firefox()

driver.get("https://t.me/varzesh3/106369")

wait = WebDriverWait(driver, 30)
element = wait.until(EC.visibility_of_any_elements_located((By.CLASS_NAME,'tgme_widget_message_views')))

    There is a better Idea here. I can use bs4 with url https://t.me/varzesh3/106369?embed=1.

    it's better because when you send the request by this url you have the iframe now.

    and this is the code:

    def generate_post_views(link):
   # https://t.me/varzesh3/106432
   html = requests.get(link + '?embed=1')
   plain_text = html.text
   soup = BeautifulSoup(plain_text, "html.parser")
   try:
       views = soup.find('span', {'class':'tgme_widget_message_views'}).get_text()
   except AttributeError:
       views = 0
   return views

    It’s not working because the element you want to check is inside an iframe. You need to first switch to IFrame.

    from selenium import webdriver
from selenium.webdriver.common.keys import Keys

from selenium.webdriver.common.by import By
import selenium.webdriver.support.expected_conditions as EC
from selenium.webdriver.support.ui import WebDriverWait    

driver = webdriver.Chrome()

driver.get("https://t.me/varzesh3/106369")
iframe = driver.find_element(By.ID,"telegram-post-varzesh3-106369")
driver.switch_to.frame(iframe)
wait = WebDriverWait(driver, 30)
element = wait.until(EC.visibility_of_any_elements_located((By.CLASS_NAME,'tgme_widget_message_views')))
