Hi. I am new to Python and have be dabbling with some screen scraping. I was doing alright until I came to my first real world problem. I have some data I would like to extract from a Website
https://public.tableau.com/views/EVv3/St...-june-2019
The data is in 2 blocks on the bottom of the page which I think is an image. I am thinking the only way to extract this data is to use the download button at the bottom of the page (Second icon from the right on the bottom of the page), and then I would have to mimic a button press and then still work out how to download all the data from the subsequent page that opens after the download button click.
Is my approach to this correct, is there a better way of going about this. Any help/guidance much appreciated.
If you could give me some pointers that would also be much appreciated.
Cheers
Andrew
