javascript - Scraping a url ending in .js using python -
i trying historical earnings data website using python. url data ends in .js (which javascript link). problem if use urllib.urlopen read link, converts string , it's nightmare extract data string. wondering if there module allows download data in similar json.
the link trying scrape is: http://test.optionslam.com/site_media/chart/data/goog_data.js
this how trying it:
data = urlopen('http://test.optionslam.com/site_media/chart/data/goog_data.js').read()
can please suggest better approach this?
just remove var = parts , terminating ; , use json parser on rest. sure such thing exists python.
something this:
- get string do
- replace
var{ - replace
=: - replace
;}, - remove last
, - read in json
