While accessing this link https://www.dickssportinggoods.com/f/tents-accessories?pageNumber=2 with requests_html, i need to wait to wait some time before the page actually loads. Is it possible with this? My code:
from requests_html import HTMLSession
from bs4 import BeautifulSoup
from lxml import etree
s = HTMLSession()
response = s.get(
'https://www.dickssportinggoods.com/f/tents-accessories?pageNumber=2')
response.html.render()
soup = BeautifulSoup(response.content, "html.parser")
dom = etree.HTML(str(soup))
item = dom.xpath('//a[@class="rs_product_description d-block"]/text()')[0]
print(item)
It looks like the data you are looking for can be fetched using HTTP GET to
https://prod-catalog-product-api.dickssportinggoods.com/v2/search?searchVO=%7B%22selectedCategory%22%3A%2212301_1809051%22%2C%22selectedStore%22%3A%220%22%2C%22selectedSort%22%3A1%2C%22selectedFilters%22%3A%7B%7D%2C%22storeId%22%3A15108%2C%22pageNumber%22%3A2%2C%22pageSize%22%3A48%2C%22totalCount%22%3A112%2C%22searchTypes%22%3A%5B%22PINNING%22%5D%2C%22isFamilyPage%22%3Atrue%2C%22appliedSeoFilters%22%3Afalse%2C%22snbAudience%22%3A%22%22%2C%22zipcode%22%3A%22%22%7D
The call will return a JSON and you can use that direcly with zero scraping code.
Copy/Paste the URL into the browser --> see the data.
You can specify the page number in the url:
searchVO={"selectedCategory":"12301_1809051","selectedStore":"0","selectedSort":1,"selectedFilters":{},"storeId":15108,"pageNumber":2,"pageSize":48,"totalCount":112,"searchTypes":["PINNING"],"isFamilyPage":true,"appliedSeoFilters":false,"snbAudience":"","zipcode":""}
working code below
import requests
import pprint
page_num = 2
url = f'https://prod-catalog-product-api.dickssportinggoods.com/v2/search?searchVO=%7B%22selectedCategory%22%3A%2212301_1809051%22%2C%22selectedStore%22%3A%220%22%2C%22selectedSort%22%3A1%2C%22selectedFilters%22%3A%7B%7D%2C%22storeId%22%3A15108%2C%22pageNumber%22%3A2%2C%2{page_num}pageSize%22%3A48%2C%22totalCount%22%3A112%2C%22searchTypes%22%3A%5B%22PINNING%22%5D%2C%22isFamilyPage%22%3Atrue%2C%22appliedSeoFilters%22%3Afalse%2C%22snbAudience%22%3A%22%22%2C%22zipcode%22%3A%22%22%7D'
r = requests.get(url)
if r.status_code == 200:
pprint.pprint(r.json())
