The most common thing I see when I am asking about how to scrape a certain site is people struggling to get data from the front end of a modern website. These sites are using SPA (single page applications) that rely heavily on JavaScript or JS framework to load up the data. This way, whilst sometimes possible is just not option for extracting the data. We need to understand a little bit about how these sites work so we can use the right approach or method to accessing the data. https://github.com/jhnwr/billionaires-scraper # Scraper API I use: https://www.scrapingbee.com/?fpr=jhnwr # DISCORD (NEW): https://discord.gg/C4J2uckpbR # Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/johnwatsonrooney # Proxies: https://proxyscrape.com/?ref=jhnwr # Hosting: Digital Ocean: https://m.do.co/c/c7c90f161ff6 ------------------------------------- Disclaimer: These are affiliate links and as an Amazon Associate I earn from qualifying purchases ------------------------------------- # Video Camera: https://amzn.to/3b5N1ej Lens: https://amzn.to/3QAm7LT Lighting: https://amzn.to/3Oivn64 # Audio Interface: https://amzn.to/3OqEqRQ Microphone: https://amzn.to/3xISfEC Headphones: https://amzn.to/3zQrwZv # PC Case: https://amzn.to/3dEz6Jw PSU: https://amzn.to/3kc7SfB CPU: https://amzn.to/2ILxGSh Mobo: https://amzn.to/3lWmxw4 Ram: https://amzn.to/31muxPc GFX card: https://amzn.to/2SKYraW 32" monitor: https://amzn.to/3sqgq98 (main) 27" monitor: https://amzn.to/2GAH4r9 (vertical) 24" monitor: https://amzn.to/3jIFamt (spare) Dual monitor arm: https://amzn.to/3wpBvlg Mouse: https://amzn.to/2SH1ssK Keyboard: https://amzn.to/3A1B8jU
