I am trying to send some json requests for scraping an infinite scroll box like this link. Its json link is:
Some of the parameters are not neccesary and I created a dictionary of effective parameters. For example,the parameter Count is the number of items that are shown in each scrolling. My code is :
import json
import requests
parameters = {'countryCode':'US','dateTime':'', 'docId':'','sequence':'6e09aca3-7207-446e-bb8a-db1a4ea6545c',
'messageNumber':'1826','count':'10','channelName':'', 'topic':'_:1479366266513' }
data = json.dumps(parameters)
firstUrl = "http://www.marketwatch.com/investing/stock/xom"
html = requests.post(firstUrl, params = data).text
My problem is that I cannot send the requests according to the parameters, when I remove all parameters, I get the same page (firstUrl link) as if I include all of them. Do you have any idea why it happens and how I can fix this problem?
