[FIXED] Scarpy not able to scrape simple website as it gives empty data

Issue

I am working on following website but I am getting strange error as all table data are empty.

Below is my simple scrapy code.

class FloorSheetSpider(scrapy.Spider):
    name = "nepse"
    start_urls = ['https://merolagani.com/CompanyDetail.aspx?symbol=AKPL']

    def parse(self, response):
        datas = response.xpath("//tbody[@class='panel panel-default']//tr")
        for quote in datas:
            d = quote.css('td a::text').extract()
            print(d)
        for tr in response.xpath("//div[@id='divAbout']//table//tbody/tr"):
              print(tr)

I want second table that is below my first table but I am getting empty response

what I am getting in console is empty array I know I missed something here but cannot figure it out sadly.

Solution

To get all table data, you can follow the next example:

import scrapy
from scrapy.crawler import CrawlerProcess
class MeroSpider(scrapy.Spider):
    name = 'mero'
    allowed_domains = ['nl.indeed.com']
    start_urls = ['https://merolagani.com/CompanyDetail.aspx?symbol=AKPL']

    def parse(self, response):
        for tr in response.xpath('//*[@id="accordion"]/tbody/tr')[1:]:
            yield {
                'sector':''.join([x.replace('#\r\n','').replace('\r\n','').strip() for x in tr.xpath('.//th//text()').getall()]),
                'hydro power': ''.join([ x .replace('#\r\n','').replace('\r\n','').strip() for x in tr.xpath('.//td//text()').getall()])
            }

             
if __name__ == "__main__":
    process = CrawlerProcess()
    process.crawl(meroSpider)
    process.start()

Output:
