QUESTION

How do you scrap HTML + HTTP POST responses?

Asked 2020-Dec-04 at 07:11

Does anyone know a way (free or paid tool, software library, etc) to scrap HTML and the HTTP responses? I've tried tools like Mozenda and Octoparse and they worked but only in getting the HTML.

If you open a site with chrome for example and open the developer tools, in the network tab you can see the traffic and the responses, I need to capture that same data but with a program.

I've tried replicating the post request and sending it with Postman and it worked, but I don't know how to automatize this (replicate the HTTP Headers sent would be the hard part, given that tokens expire)

Any type of help or tip would be very helpful thanks.

So after reading all the docs from Scrapy, Puppeteer and Selenium I can say it can be done with all 3, although the most straightforward way to do it would be with Puppeteer I believe. We didn't scrap that site though it was too much work, we don't want to code a scrapper from 0 is not that important for us.

Thanks, @Patrick Klein and @Gallaecio

ETL - how to enter a website, input some paramenters and export a file (or web data) to database

Asked 2020-Apr-08 at 16:55

I'm looking for some recommendations:

I need to enter to a website, input some data, and export the file for that data to load into a database.

I've been trying to use tools for ETL such as Octoparse. the issue that I have is that with the ETL I know I can't replicate the "export to csv" that the website does, so I can take information from the tables shown, the problem with this is that the data is collapsed in the website. here an example:

in "1" I need to input from a to dates the issue is that after filtering here, the tables are collapsed with and I have to open with "2"

I have the option to manually export the file as CSV by clicking "3" and later import this to a database, but actually it does take a some extra work. what type of ETL could I use to accomplish this activity? the main goal is to export this data to a SQL database without manual intervention.

The website doesn't have an API to connect.

So since there's no API or other means to fetch that directly, you can use Selenium to simulate the browser and click the buttons. This should log you in, change to the desired start date, filter, then export.
