'str' object has no attribute 'to_csv'

[brunolelli]

Hello guys,

I'm trying to save some data that I collected from a website textform, on a csv file.
And for that I'm using the following code, but I'm getting the error: 'str' object has no attribute 'to_csv'

import zapimoveis_scraper as zap
import pandas as pd
 
result  = zap.search(localization="sp+sao-paulo", acao="aluguel", tipo="loja-salao", num_pages=5) 
ofertas = len(result)

df = pd.DataFrame([], columns=['Address', 'Price', 'Total Area', 'Bathrooms', 'Badrooms', 'Vacancies', 'Description'])

for i in range(ofertas):
    df = df.append({'Address': result[i].address, 'Price': result[i].price, 'Total Area': result[i].total_area_m2, 'Bathrooms': result[i].bathrooms, 'Badrooms':result[i].bedrooms, 'Vacancies':result[i].vacancies, 'Description':result[i].description}, ignore_index=True)

df.to_csv (r'C:\Users\bruno\Desktop\FII\Zap.csv', index = False, header=True, sep=';', encoding='utf-8-sig')

from selenium import webdriver
import time
from selenium.webdriver.common.keys import Keys
from selenium.webdriver.support import expected_conditions as EC
from selenium.webdriver.support.ui import Select


driver = webdriver.Chrome('C:/bin/chromedriver.exe')
driver.get("https://geocode.localfocus.nl/")
select = Select(driver.find_element_by_id('boundary'))
select.select_by_visible_text("Brazil")

teste = df['Address']

numero = len(teste)
follow_loop = range(0, numero)

for i in follow_loop:
    driver.find_element_by_id("input").send_keys(teste[i] + ", São Paulo"+ "\n")

driver.find_element_by_id("geocode").click()
time.sleep(60)

contents = driver.find_element_by_id('result-geo').get_attribute('value')

contents.to_csv(r'C:\Users\bruno\Desktop\FII\LL.csv')

What's going on? Whey am I getting this error?
How can I save the data from contents on a CSV file?

Where does the error come from? Line 39 I guess? Why are you trying to call to_csv on a string?

Yep, the error is on line 39.
How can I convert my string to another format compatible with to_csv?

What are you actually trying to do with that string? What's in it? If you just want to write it to a CSV file, then the usual methods on file objects should do, but there's always the stuff in the csv module that could help if you need something more advanced. If you need to put the value in a Pandas data frame, then see the docs for how to use that (your two pieces of code look unrelated to me; it looks like you've just taken two scripts and put them into one code block here).
