python - Extracting a table from a website -


i've tried many times retrieve table @ website: http://www.whoscored.com/players/845/history/tomas-rosicky (the 1 under "historical participations")

import urllib2  bs4 import beautifulsoup  soup = beautifulsoup(urllib2.urlopen('http://www.whoscored.com/players/845/').read())

this python code using retrieve table html, getting empty string. me out!

the desired table formed via asynchronous api call http://www.whoscored.com/statisticsfeed/1/getplayerstatistics endpoint request returns json response. in other words, urllib2 return initial html content of page without "dynamic" part. in other words, urllib2 not browser.

you can study request using browser developer tools:

enter image description here

now, need simulate request in code. requests package should consider using.

here similar question whoscored.com i've answered before, there sample working code can use starting point:
