Try the below approach using requests and beautiful soup . I have created the script with the URL which is fetched from website and then creating a dynamic URL to traverse each and every page to get the data.
What exactly script is doing:
First script will create a URL where page_no query string parameter will increment by 1 upon completion of each traversal.
Requests will get the data from the created URL using get method which will then pass to beautiful soup to parse HTML structure using lxml .
Then from the parsed data script will search for the div where data is actually present.
Finally looping on all the div text data one by one for each page.
```python import requests from urllib3.exceptions import InsecureRequestWarning requests.packages.urllib3.disable_warnings(InsecureRequestWarning) from bs4 import BeautifulSoup as bs def scrap_bid_data(): page_no = 1 #initial page number while True: print('Hold on creating URL to fetch data...') URL = 'https://bidplus.gem.gov.in/bidlists?bidlists&page_no=' + str(page_no) #create dynamic URL print('URL cerated: ' + URL) scraped_data = requests.get(URL,verify=False) # request to get the data soup_data = bs(scraped_data.text, 'lxml') #parse the scraped data using lxml extracted_data = soup_data.find('div',{'id':'pagi_content'}) #find divs which contains required data if len(extracted_data) == 0: # **if block** which will check the length of extracted_data if it is 0 then quit and stop the further execution of script. break else: for idx in range(len(extracted_data)): # loops through all the divs and extract and print data if(idx % 2 == 1): #get data from odd indexes only because we have required data on odd indexes bid_data = extracted_data.contents[idx].text.strip().split('\\n') print('-' * 100) print(bid_data[0]) #BID number print(bid_data[5]) #Items print(bid_data[6]) #Quantitiy Required print(bid_data[10] + bid_data[12].strip()) #Department name and address print(bid_data[16]) #Start date print(bid_data[17]) #End date print('-' * 100) page_no +=1 #increments the page number by 1 scrap_bid_data() ```
