Hello there:
As I have probably mentioned before, I like volatile stocks, now feature of volatile stocks is that they have lowfloat, and there is website called https://www.floatchecker.com/, in this website we can fetch the float of many stocks.
I was wondering if maybe we can write a code in order to fetch the data from this website using python… Is it possible?? How would you do that?? is it possible??
Thanks a lot
Hello Ghery,
You can scrap the website's content using the requests library and beautifulsoup library in Python. Or, you can also control the website and extract data using web browser automation python libraries such as Selenium.
However, you should check the website's 'Terms and Conditions , 'Privacy Policy' before proceeding to scrap the data.
For the website you shared, as per its Terms and Conditions, you shouldn't extract data using scraping or data mining tools.
'You may not use any spiders, robots, scraping or data mining software; or use any similar automated or manual data extraction methods to access, use, tamper or interfere with, reverse engineer, decompile, deconstruct, copy or monitor the Site, the Services, or Site users. ' - link
