I am new to webscraping and need some help to extract a request-url from the online movie-stream website YIFY. I am familiar with how selenium works and I am trying to find the download url of the movie Revenant.
Using python-selenium I can click on the play icon and if you open your inspect element and go the network tab then you can see the request-url but you can't do inspect element and find it.

I am trying to extract this particular download link using python-selenium. Could anyone tell me if it is possible? Well I am not trying to download the movie but checking if it is possible to download the links from it. Here the links are not embedded in the html page, and I will highly appreciate any help.

I am working on scraping data from the Flashscore website.
https://www.flashscore.com/football/albania/superliga-2019-2020/results/
Although I can find the links for most of the matches that are visible once the above page loads, there are many matches that are hidden and can only be accessed by clicking on 'Show more matches'.
Snapshot of the page
I found the class for 'Show more matches' (event__more event__more--static) and used the '.click()' method of the selenium library in Python but the output is null. Also, I tried various other implementations of clicking this link but couldn't get it working.
Is there any other way I can click on the link and extract the information in Python? Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Note: I also haven't found any classes where all of this information is hidden.
You can use the execute_script() driver method to achieve this. It's used for executing JavaScript in the current window/frame.
You can find the code snippet below-
driver.get('https://www.flashscore.com/football/albania/superliga-2019-2020/results/')
show_more_button=driver.find_element_by_xpath('//*[#id="live-table"]/div[1]/div/div/a') #find the show more results element
driver.execute_script("arguments[0].click();", show_more_button)
I am a beginner in programming and I am trying to make a scraper. As of right now I'm using the requests library and BeautifulSoup. I provide the program a link and I am able to extract any information I want from that single web page. What I am trying to accomplish is as follows... I want to provide a web page to the program, the web page that I provide is a search result where there is a list of links that could be clicked. I want the program to be able to get the links of those search results, and then scrape some information from each of those specific pages from the main web page that I provide.
If anyone can give me some sort of guidance on how I could achieve this I would appreciate it greatly! Are there some other libraries I should be using? Is there some reading material you could refer me to, maybe a video?
You can put all the url links in a list then have your request-sending function loop through it. Use the requests or urllib package for this.
For the search logic, you would want to look for the <a> tag with href property.
I have been trying to extract the src which is a openload link from a website.
The src is loacted in iframe which is loaded dynamically.
the website is "https://www1.fmovies.se/film/daddys-home-2.kk29w".
Now The problem is that iframe is loaded dynamically. So this is my code
from selenium import webdriver
driver=webdriver.Chrome('C:\\Users\\aman krishna\Desktop\\New folder(3)\chromedriver.exe')
driver.get("https://bmovies.to/film/daddys-home-2.kk29w/78vp5j")
driver.find_element_by_xpath("//iframe[contains(#src,'<https://openload.co/embed/qe3n5GZGyGo/?autostart=true')]")
I could spoon feed you the code, as I wrote my own scraper with python that is eerily similar to what you've posted. but that wouldn't help you in the long run.
I'll give you a hint though. Use var box and var frames to get what you need.
I am trying to automate the process of downloading webpages with technical documentation which I need to update every year or so.
Here is an example page: http://prod.adv-bio.com/ProductDetail.aspx?ProdNo=1197
From this page, the desired end result would be having all the html links saved as pdf's.
I am using wget to download the .pdf files
I can't use wget to download the html files, because the .html links on the page can only be accessed by clicking through from the previous page.
I tried using Selenium to open the links in Firefox and print them to pdf's, but the process is slow, frequently misses links, and my work proxy server forces me to re-authenticate every time I need to access a page for a different product.
I could open a chrome browser using chromedriver but could not handle the print dialog, even after trying pywinauto per an answer to a similar question here.
I tried taking screenshots of the html pages using Selenium, but could not find out how to get the whole webpage without capturing the entire screen.
I have been through a ton of links related to this topic but have yet to find a satisfying solution to this problem.
Is there a cleaner way to do this?
I want to know that can we scrape data of a specific field from a pop up generated on a page using Python ? If yes, please suggest.
I am trying to scrape it, but it is not getting detected and return me an empty list. I am using Python and Beautiful soup to do the job .
You can not use scrapy for JS
You can also solve it with ScrapyJS :
This library provides Scrapy+JavaScript integration using Splash.
