Hello!. I am doing a homework where I want to exctract information from trading a website. In this case investing.com
I want to build a live plot about an specific FX (example "AUD-CAD"). And for do that, I need to extract the values of candles. (for example every 5 secs)
https://m.investing.com/currencies/aud-cad
tradedd.png
(From image)
left = candles
right = values of every candles
to be able to see every value is necesary to do click on "time lapse", in this case 5 minutes. and I can see in information from page a new xhr type. The problem is the url from this new file. I can not enter to this URL, then this information not apear if I write ctrl+u (see HTML code).
I would like to know If there are a way for be able to extract this values automatically using web scraping.
more information about this response.
