I'm trying to create a Python script that navigates to the Facebook marketplace and inputs the Min and Max price. I can't figure out how to fire the java script event to update the page with the items within the Min/Max price range. Any help would be appreciated
```
From selenium import webdriver
usr = "username"
pwd = "password"
driver = webdriver.Chrome(executable_path=r"C:\webdriver\chromedriver.exe")
driver.get('https://www.facebook.com')
username_box = driver.find_element_by_id('email')
username_box.send_keys(usr)
password_box = driver.find_element_by_id('pass')
password_box.send_keys(pwd)
login_box = driver.find_element_by_id('loginbutton')
login_box.click()
driver.get('https://www.facebook.com/marketplace/toronto/vehicles/')
elem = driver.find_elements_by_class_name('_58al')
elem[0].send_keys("5000")
elem[1].send_keys("10000")
```

This can be done using page reloading, say every 1 minute. Or using ajax with a timer, to check periodically for updates, or websockets.FindOutIslamNow– FindOutIslamNow2019年04月14日 14:51:41 +00:00Commented Apr 14, 2019 at 14:51

Instead of waiting for the event to trigger upon submitting your values, you could directly append your values to the URI and navigate with driver.get() knowing with confidence the page will display your results :)
https://www.facebook.com/marketplace/[randomints]/?minPrice=100&maxPrice=200
However, if you'd like to continue with submitting values you could consider using click() on the following class name _78o5 which at a glance, does seem to fire off the refresh event.
