I want to scrap data from this page (and pages similar to it): https://cereals.ahdb.org.uk/market-data-centre/historical-data/feed-ingredients.aspx
This page uses Po
A few more details about exactly which data you are trying to scrap would have helped to construct a canonical answer. However, to scrape the data within the Commodity and Basis using Selenium, as the the desired element is within an so you have to:
frame_to_be_available_and_switch_to_it().visibility_of_element_located() for the table.visibility_of_all_elements_located() for the desired data.You can use the following Locator Strategies:
Code Block:
from selenium import webdriver
from selenium.webdriver.common.by import By
from selenium.webdriver.support.ui import WebDriverWait
from selenium.webdriver.support import expected_conditions as EC
options = webdriver.ChromeOptions()
options.add_argument("start-maximized")
options.add_experimental_option("excludeSwitches", ["enable-automation"])
options.add_experimental_option('useAutomationExtension', False)
driver = webdriver.Chrome(options=options, executable_path=r'C:\Utility\BrowserDrivers\chromedriver.exe')
driver.get("https://ahdb.org.uk/cereals-oilseeds/feed-ingredient-prices")
WebDriverWait(driver, 20).until(EC.frame_to_be_available_and_switch_to_it((By.TAG_NAME,"iframe")))
WebDriverWait(driver, 20).until(EC.visibility_of_element_located((By.CSS_SELECTOR, "div.innerContainer")))
print("Commodity:")
print([my_elem.text for my_elem in WebDriverWait(driver, 20).until(EC.visibility_of_all_elements_located((By.XPATH, "//div[@class='pivotTableCellWrap cell-interactive tablixAlignLeft ' and starts-with(@title, 'Ex-')]//parent::div//preceding::div[1]")))])
print("-=-=-=-=-=-")
print("Basis:")
print([my_elem.text for my_elem in WebDriverWait(driver, 20).until(EC.visibility_of_all_elements_located((By.CSS_SELECTOR, "div.pivotTableCellWrap.cell-interactive.tablixAlignLeft[title^='Ex-']")))])
Console Output:
Commodity:
['Argentine Sunflowermeal 32/33%', 'Maize Gluten Feed', 'Pelleted Wheat Feed', 'Rapemeal (34%)', 'Soyameal (Hi Pro)', 'Soyameal, Brazilian (48%)']
-=-=-=-=-=-
Basis:
['Ex-Store Liverpool', 'Ex-Store Liverpool', 'Ex-Mill Midlands and Southern Mills', 'Ex-Mill Erith', 'Ex-Store East Coast', 'Ex-Store Liverpool']
As per your comment as well as the given link on the bounty explanation, to scrape the data from Page 2 within the table under the heading Scouting Location using Selenium, you can use the following solution. For the sake of demonstration I have created a List of first 20 countries and you can expand as much as you wish:
Code Block:
from selenium import webdriver
from selenium.webdriver.support.ui import WebDriverWait
from selenium.webdriver.common.by import By
from selenium.webdriver.support import expected_conditions as EC
options = webdriver.ChromeOptions()
options.add_argument("start-maximized")
options.add_experimental_option("excludeSwitches", ["enable-automation"])
options.add_experimental_option('useAutomationExtension', False)
driver = webdriver.Chrome(options=options, executable_path=r'C:\WebDrivers\chromedriver.exe')
driver.get("https://app.powerbi.com/view?r=eyJrIjoiMzE1ODNmYzQtMWZhYS00NTNjLTg1MDUtOTQ2MGMyNDVkZTY3IiwidCI6IjE2M2FjNDY4LWFiYjgtNDRkMC04MWZkLWQ5ZGIxNWUzYWY5NiIsImMiOjh9")
WebDriverWait(driver, 20).until(EC.element_to_be_clickable((By.XPATH, "//span[@class='navigation-wrapper navigation-wrapper-big']//i[@title='Next Page']"))).click()
print("Country:")
print([my_elem.text for my_elem in WebDriverWait(driver, 20).until(EC.visibility_of_all_elements_located((By.XPATH, "//div[@class='bodyCells']//div[@class='pivotTableCellWrap cell-interactive ']")))[:20]])
driver.quit()
