How to scrape the Current Holdings table

Question:

I’m trying to scraping:

from selenium.webdriver.support.ui import WebDriverWait
from selenium.webdriver.support import expected_conditions as EC
from selenium.webdriver.common.by import By    
import pandas as pd

options = webdriver.FirefoxOptions()
options.binary_location = r'C://Mozilla Firefox/firefox.exe'
driver = selenium.webdriver.Firefox(executable_path='C://geckodriver.exe' , options=options)


url = 'https:/'
driver.get(url)

table = WebDriverWait(driver, 20).until(EC.element_to_be_clickable((By.ID, 'dgtopHolders')))
dfs = pd.read_html(table.get_attribute('outerHTML'))
print(dfs[0])

How can I scrape this table ?
thanks for your time

best

Answers:

This is working for me. You can access each element using ‘item’.

try:
    WebDriverWait(driver, 4).until(EC.presence_of_element_located((By.XPATH, f"/html/body/div[11]/div/div/a/svg")))
except Exception as e:
    print(e)

driver.execute_script("window.scrollTo(0, document.body.scrollHeight);")

list_of_tr = WebDriverWait(driver, 4).until(EC.presence_of_all_elements_located((By.XPATH, f"/html/body/div[4]/div[3]/div[1]/fieldset/div[2]/div[1]/div[3]/div[2]/table/tbody/tr")))
for item in list_of_tr:
    stock = item.find_element(By.XPATH, './td[1]/a').text.strip()
    print(stock)

To scrape the data from the current holdings_table as the <table> is present with the HTML DOM but not visible within the webpage, you need to induce WebDriverWait for the presence_of_element_located() for the <table> element, extract the outerHTML, read the outerHTML using read_html() and you can use the following locator strategy:

  • Code Block:

    driver.execute("get", {'url': 'https://whalewisdom.com/filer/berkshire-hathaway-inc#tabholdings_tab_link'})
    # data = driver.find_element(By.CSS_SELECTOR, "table#current_holdings_table").get_attribute("outerHTML")
    data = WebDriverWait(driver, 20).until(EC.presence_of_element_located((By.CSS_SELECTOR, "table#current_holdings_table"))).get_attribute("outerHTML")
    df  = pd.read_html(data)
    print(df)
    
  • Console Output:
