I need to write a python code to download files from links in a table in the website. I know how to pull it from a single link, but I don't know how to pull it from the table. Below is the screenshot of the link.
I need to learn how to download files from multiple links organized in a table.
Take a look at requests and beautiful soup. They'll provide you with all the tools you need to 1) download a webpage (requests) 2) parse the returned HTML and locate the link within the table (beautiful soup) then 4) download the file (requests).

Im currently using beautiful soup to try and webscrape a website for data however the python module is reading the source code of the page. In the source code of the page the information i need isn't there however if i right click on the page in chrome and inspect element it is.
i was wondering if there was any way a python module could scrape the elements from a webpage and not the source code
In beautiful soup ive tried to search for the elements like however they just dont come up or appear because its searching in the source code. Im also not sure why or how it doesnt appear there.
When the contents are loaded by JavaScript, you can not get the data via Beautiful Soup. In this situation, the Selenium library is used as it is more useful and handy to extract the required dynamic contents.
I am writing a python code which writes a hyperlink into a excel file.This hyperlink should open in a specific page in a pdf document.
I am trying something like
Worksheet.write_url('A1',"C:/Users/...../mypdf#page=3") but this doesn't work.Please let me know how this can be done.
Are you able to open the pdf file directly to a specific page even without xlsxwriter? I can not.
From Adobe's official site:
To target an HTML link to a specific page in a PDF file, add
#page=[page number] to the end of the link's URL.
For example, this HTML tag opens page 4 of a PDF file named
myfile.pdf:
Note: If you use UNC server locations (\servername\folder) in a link,
set the link to open to a set destination using the procedure in the
following section.
If you use URLs containing local hard drive addresses (c:\folder), you cannot link to page numbers or set destinations.
I'm trying to parse html from a website that contains information about train tickets and there prices (source below), however I'm having an issue getting back all the html from the website when I use urllib to request the html.
What I need is the price per ticket which doesn't seem to appear when I used urllib to request the html. After doing some investigative work, I determined that if I save the webpage with chrome and select "HTML only", I don't get the price, however if I select "Complete WebPage," I do. Is there anyway to view the HTML that I get when I download the "Complete Webpage" and use that in python. Or is there a way to automate the downloading of the complete webpage and use the downloaded files to parse in python.
Thanks,
George

Take a look at selenium
Since the website is rendered by JS, you will have to use a webdriver to simulate the "Click".
You will need a crawler instead of a simple scraper

I'm trying to scrape the PDF from this webpage using python:
http://pesquisa.in.gov.br/imprensa/jsp/visualiza/index.jsp?jornal=3&pagina=1&data=31/03/1993
The problem is that the above URL points to the viewer (with date-page parameters), not the PDF file. I tried to inspect the html code to see the URL to the PDF directly, but could not.
any help on how to find the correct URL and implement a way to download them in python?
Edit:
I will later generalize this to other days and pages, the full list of day-page links can be found by searching for the relevant period here: http://portal.imprensanacional.gov.br/
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.
