Is it possible to scrape an Angular Website using Selenium-python?

I have been trying to scrape an Angular Website using Selenium. To my surprise it doesn't let you scrape the html rendered contents as it renders it dynamically using Javascript. I want to locate those tags for the purpose of scraping but I am unable to do so. What is the right way to scrape them? Here is some more context:
They say you can't do it using python.
Some also tried downloading all the html content and then read them. But again this isn't my use case.
But my use case is a lot different:
I want to login to my google account then it redirects me to an angular page where I click a button called reporting and from there I am redirected to a page from where I have to finally click download button to download the report.

How to scrape a website where details are not on the inspect page?

I have this website that I need to scrape.
https://www.dawn.com
My goal is to scrape all news content with the keyword "Pakistan"
So far, I can only scrape the content if I have the URL. For example:
from newspaper import Article
import nltk
nltk.download('punkt')
url = 'https://www.dawn.com/news/1582311/who-chief-lauds-pakistan-for-suppressing-covid-19-while-keeping-economy-afloat'
article = Article(url)
article.download()
article.parse()
article.nlp()
article.summary
From this code, I wrote I would to copy and paste all the URLs and that is too much to do manually. Do you have any idea on how to do this?
better is goto> https://www.dawn.com/pakistan & download (.html) then scrape all the news content, later bifurcate using keywords.

Page source in selenium

How can I get page source of current page?
I make driver.get(link) and I am on main page. Then I use selenium to get other page (by tag and xpath) and when I get good page I'd like to obtain its page source.
I tried driver.page_source() but I obtain page source of main page not this current.
driver = webdriver.Chrome(ccc)
driver.get('https://aaa.com')
check1 = driver.find_element_by_xpath('/html/body/div[1]/div/div[2]/button')
check1.click()
time.sleep(1)
check2=driver.find_element_by_xpath('/html/body/div[1]/div[2]/div[2]/div[1]/div/a')
check2.click()
And after check2.click() I am on page with new link (this link only works by click not directly). How can I get page source for this new link?

How do you use the beautiful soup module to click a link on a webpage repeatedly?

I have a group of year 9 girls who have entered a national competition. One of their tasks is to find the token that is displayed after they have clicked on a link 1,000,000 times. The webpage is simple - it has one button on it. I am sure that we can write some code to do this for us - I have heard of the Beautiful soup thing - does anyone have instructions how to do this? Thank you!
BeautifulSoup is a package for parsing HTML, i.e., retrieving elements or text from a request. You want something that simulates interacting with a web browser. Selenium is a good choice for this and works with Python.
