[Solved] How to scrape a website table that you cannot select the text using python? [closed]


It’s just a matter of finding the right url and then parsing it:

import requests
import pandas as pd

url="https://service.fantasylabs.com/live-contests/?sport=NFL&contest_group_id=71194"
headers = {'user-agent': 'Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 10.0; Win64; x64) AppleWebKit/537.36 (KHTML, like Gecko) Chrome/99.0.4844.51 Safari/537.36'}
jsonData = requests.get(url, headers=headers).json()

contestIds = {}
for each in jsonData['live_contests']:
    contestIds[each['contest_name']] = each['contest_id']

rows = []
for contestName, contestId in contestIds.items():
    url = f'https://dh5nxc6yx3kwy.cloudfront.net/contests/nfl/20220213/{contestId}/lineups/'
    jsonData = requests.get(url, headers=headers).json()

    lineups = jsonData['lineups']
    for k, v in lineups.items():
        v.update({'contestName':contestName})
        rows.append(v)
    print(contestName)
        
df = pd.DataFrame(rows)

Output:

print(df.head().to_string())
