I am interested in using lxml Python 3 and just chose what I thought would be an easy to follow tutorial... I am simply trying to see if a button exists for add to cart to check inventory so I picked a common one "Amazon" and a random item to check.
From that I just wanted to confirm if it was in stock but I have struggled to get anything out of the below code and I am sure it's something obvious but banging my head at this point
thanks for any pointers
EDIT:
So it occurred to me that maybe this is limited because JS generated HTML has to be interpreted by the browser- for anyone else who may stumble across this, search Amazon, Selenium in the forums.

page = requests.get('https://www.amazon.com/Sonos-Move-Battery-powered-Bluetooth-built/dp/B07W95RBZM/ref=gbps_img___706175cd?smid=A$ tree = lxml.html.fromstring(page.content) instock = tree.xpath('//span[@id="submit.add-to-cart-announce"]/text()') print('AmazonStock:', instock)at this point I'd be happy to simply pull some text off a div or span in it
thanks for any pointers
