Web scrapping using BeautifulSoup
#1
Hi All, I would like to get advice on the below.

I want to scrape the exchange rates for the different currency conversions from the websites like currencyfair, Transferwise. The details that I want to scrape are available on the homepage.
We just need to select the currencies/countries and the sending amount as 1000, the exchange rate appears on the form itself.

My question is can we do this using BeautifulSoup? When we change the different countries, the URL doesn't change. So, will it be possible to scrape the exchange rates for all the currency conversions?

Can someone please suggest me.
