Web Scraping Tutorial #1 | Complete Scrapy Project with Infinite Scroll | How To Scrape "Load More"
We are very excited to bring you our latest Scrapy project / Web Scraping Tutorial.
Web Scraping a large site with "infinite scroll" aka "AJAX load more".
(This is based on a real world project from Upwork).
** PART 1 of 7 **
This covers the analysis of the site, as we identify the relevant elements and sources for the selectors that we will put into our Scrapy spider.
If you just want to skip to a section:
2:29 Looking for the full recipe/ingredients source
3:14 Checking AJAX / XHR in Network tab in Developer Tools in Firefox
5:25 Confirming the URL increments during scroll
7:06 Looking for "json" in the source
8:26 Main Page Thumbnails - Links to details pages - test in Scrapy shell
9:27 response.xpath("//script[@type='application/ld+json']/text()").get();
11:04 Locating the FULL list of ingredients
14:21 Locating the FULL recipe
17:51 testing the increment of "pn=" to use in our spider for our "next page"
23:59 Displaying the full list of ingredients
The json we find is extremely useful, so during the video you will see how we plan to use it and pick out the "links" that we will work on more during part 2.
Please comment, subscribe, like 👍, as this is taking a lot of effort and the more comments/feedback the better I can tailor future videos to you.
