Make requests using Python over Tor

Here is the code you want to use (download the stem package using pip install stem)

from stem import Signal
from stem.control import Controller

with Controller.from_port(port = 9051) as controller:
    controller.authenticate(password='your password set for tor controller port in torrc')
    print("Success!")
    controller.signal(Signal.NEWNYM)
    print("New Tor connection processed")

Good luck and hopefully that works.

How to click a button in Tor Browser with Selenium and python

I'm assuming you are trying to bypass a CAPTCHA.

You can do this one of two ways. You can click the button by using a selector. For example, an XPath selector for a button with class "g-recpatcha". You can also just execute JavaScript code on the page to call the onSubmit() function.

So two options are:

1. driver.find_element_by_xpath("//button[@class='g-recaptcha']").click()

2. driver.execute_script("onSubmit("" + captchaToken + "")")

See the reCAPTCHA callback on 2captcha API, Solving Captchas.
