Web Scraping Tutorial #4 | Complete Scrapy Project with Infinite Scroll | How To Scrape "Load More"

Part 4 of our latest Scrapy project / Web Scraping Tutorial. Parsing the details. Web Scraping a large site with "infinite scroll" aka "AJAX load more". (This is based on a real world project from Upwork).

*** PART 4 of 7 ***

This video covers the "parse_detail" function, used to extract the recipes.

Yet again we can use : res = response.xpath("//script[@type='application/ld+json']/text()").get();

This extracts json and allows us to parse the dictionary that we get from it.

We also get the number of dictionaries in a list and iterate through each dictionary to extract the value from the 'text' KEY that we need to append to our list - the very same list which stores the recipe!

Please comment, subscribe, like, as this is taking a lot of effort and the more comments/feedback the better we can tailor future videos to you.
