I don't get the list content of the website

Closed

max-sfr opened this issue

The content is likely dynamically loaded by JS but I don't get the table and list items returned. Here is the website:

https://www.dtvp.de/Center/common/project/search.do?method=showExtendedSearch&fromExternal=true#eyJjcHZDb2RlcyI6W10sImNvbnRyYWN0aW5nUnVsZXMiOlsiVk9MIiwiVk9CIiwiVlNWR1YiLCJTRUtUVk8iLCJPVEhFUiJdLCJwdWJsaWNhdGlvblR5cGVzIjpbIlRlbmRlciJdLCJkaXN0YW5jZSI6MCwicG9zdGFsQ29kZSI6IiIsIm9yZGVyIjoiMCIsInBhZ2UiOiIxIiwic2VhcmNoVGV4dCI6Ik5hY2hoYWx0aWdrZWl0Iiwic29ydEZpZWxkIjoicmFuayJ9

Hello max-sfr,

Thank you for reaching out. It appears that the content you’re trying to scrape is dynamically loaded by JavaScript. To handle this, you can:

Use Playwright's waitForSelector or waitForTimeout methods to ensure specific elements on the page have loaded before proceeding with scraping.
For example:

1await page.waitForSelector('selector');  // Wait for a specific element to appear
2await page.waitForTimeout(5000);          // Wait for a fixed time to allow the page to load

Inspect the API requests the page is making. The page sends POST requests to:
https://www.dtvp.de/Center/api/v2/project/search
The response is in JSON format, which you can scrape more efficiently without rendering the page in a browser. You can use e.g. our Cheerio Scraper to scrape the API directly.

Since this should address your issue, I’ll be closing this ticket. If you have any more questions, feel free to ask. Cheers!
