# How to execute this code
# Step 1 : pip install selenium. pillow, requests
# Step 2 : make sure you have chrome installed on your machine
# Step 3 : Check your chrome version ( go to three dot then help then about google chrome )
# Step 4 : Download the same chrome driver from here  " https://chromedriver.storage.googleapis.com/index.html "
# Step 5 : put it inside the same folder of this code
