Issue
I'm new to web scraping and I want to scrape the information of all the events from a website Events in Oslo
I've written a sample code to scrape data which goes as:
'''A Python script to scrape data from 10times.com'''
import scrapy
import requests
class EventFinder(scrapy.Spider):
'''Creating a custom spider class'''
name = 'EventSpider' #name of the spider
start_urls = ['https://10times.com/oslo-no?datefrom=2020-08-01&dateto=2021-07-31']
custom_settings = {
'FEED_URI' : 'tmp/event_details.csv'
# All the scraped data will be stored in event_details.csv under temp folder
}
def fetch(url)
def parse(self, response):
'''Function to get each event url'''
event_url = response.css(".mb-0 .text-decoration-none::attr(href)")
for link in event_url:
yield response.follow(link.get(),callback = self.parse_links)
def parse_links(self, response):
'''function to scrape data and yield the data in a csv file'''
event_name = response.css("h1::text").extract()
event_date = response.css(".mb-0 span::text").extract()
event_timings = response.css("#hvrout1 td:nth-child(1)::text").extract()
event_location = response.css("#map_dirr span , #map_dirr h3").css("::text").extract()
event_type = response.css("#hvrout2::text").extract()
event_tags = response.css("#hvrout2 a::text").extract()
for item in zip(event_name,event_date,event_timings,event_location,event_type,event_tags):
scraped_info = {
'Event Name' : item[0],
'Date' : item[1],
'Timings' : item[2],
'Location' : item[3],
'Event Type' : item[4],
'Event Tags' : item[5],
}
yield scraped_info
The code I've written is able to scrape in data for all the events that are listed on first page but as we scroll down the page the page loads more data dynamically via Ajax GET requests and it is not able to scrape that data. I've watched some of the videos and read some articles to but I was not able to figure out how can I scroll data that is being generated dynamically on scrolling. Any help on this will be appreciated.
Solution
'''A Python script to scrape data from 10times.com'''

# ONLY TWO PAGES
next_page = self.url + str(self.page+1)
