I am trying to scrape a page that contains specific info. The url:https://www.artisans-du-batiment.com/trouver-un-artisan-qualifie/?job=Charpentier&place=35000%2F35900 I want to select a class for each carpenter, so I try response.css('div.a-artisanTease to-animate'), but it gives no selection. What might be the problem?
Thanks.
I've tried several different paths. I need the scrapy to select all separate carpenters that are on the page, so I can later collect info for all search results
The reason you can't retrieve data with Scrapy is that this webpage is written in JavaScript. Scrapy cannot assist you in this case. You need to use a library that can handle JavaScript, such as Selenium or Splash, to retrieve data from this webpage.
I recommend using XPath selectors instead of CSS selectors, as XPath offers many useful options for searching text in the DOM. The equivalent XPath code for your code would be:
//div[@class='a-artisanTease to-animate']
