The issue I am having is that I can't figure out how to automate using the search bar since it seems the website doesn't use pagination. Any ideas on how to go about this?

Remember to:

  • Ask your Python question, not if you can ask or if there's an expert who can help.
  • Show a code sample as text (rather than a screenshot) and the error message, if you've got one.
  • Explain what you expect to happen and what actually happens.

:warning: Do not pip install anything that isn't related to your question, especially if asked to over DMs.

To be clear, I'm using Selenium and ChromeDriver to open up a chrome window and then move through it.

What is the purpose of this webscraper?

#

i want to collect data from the website to train an ai on market trends in WoW

#

so essentially the end goal is an ai that can estimate based on past data how an item's price might increase/decrease

#

the reason im taking it from wowpricehub rather than blizzard is that i believe blizzard api doesnt store past data only current, which means id have to record it over a month overwise.

can you provide an example of the flow you would expect?
