Scraping ajax pages using python

by

First of all, scrapy docs are available at https://scrapy.readthedocs.org/en/latest/.

Speaking about handling ajax while web scraping. Basically, the idea is rather simple:

  • open browser developer tools, network tab
  • go to the target site
  • click submit button and see what XHR request is going to the server
  • simulate this XHR request in your spider

Hope that helps.
