            Printing module response at HTTP request with Node.js, basic problem
            Asked 2020-Aug-12 at 16:13

            I have never used node.js (only PHP) but found a node module, but I am already trying to figure this issue for 3 hours now.

            I use this module: Play Scraper

            They run it with this code, which works great from SSH console

            You need to consider several things about working with JavaScript. Everything you do which is IO is generally non blocking, unless specified. When using a callback or a then (called a Promise) the code will not wait for any callback before continuing to the next statement. JavaScript in recent years made this much easier to understand with async await syntax sugar.

            The best way to fix you code is to implement this async await syntax:

            Retrieving text content from Javascript URL
            Asked 2020-Jun-24 at 19:44

            I am modifying the play-scraper API to scrape play-store app details. It uses BeautifulSoup to parse HTML pages [reference].

            I am particularly interested in all the additional information available for an app as shown in the screenshot below. (The above screenshot is taken from this app.)

            I am stuck at extracting the list of permissions that an app asks for (shown in the above figure) because the View details URL under Permissions is as follows.

            ...

            Answered 2020-Jun-24 at 19:44

            If I understand the question correctly you are trying to scrape the data from a modal. And when the website loads for the first time these modals data aren't available inside html. They are fetched after you click the view details button. That's why the parser doesn't get the data inside the modal, in your case the permission informations. So this is the reason of your problem.

            Now about the solution, one possible solution could be achieved by using the Selenium and chromedriver by performing click event on the view details text and then fetching the modal data. Have a look at this link to get an idea.

            Update: To get an idea about the solution using Selenium and chromedriver consider the following code:
