VistasJS/AJAX Content Not loading when URL is accessed using Selenium(Python)
I'm trying to scrape this URL: https://www.wheel-size.com/size/acura/mdx/2001/
The values that I want to scrape are loaded dynamically e.g Center Bore If you open the link in normal browser the content is loaded just fine but if I use Selenium(chromedriver) it just keeps loading and the values are never displayed.
Any idea how can I scrape it? Below is the picture of how it looks like. You can also see the loading for 1-2 seconds when you open the link in normal browser.

To extract the desired texts e.g. 64.1 mm, 5x114.3 etc as the elements are Google Tag Manager enabled elements you need to induce WebDriverWait for the visibility_of_element_located() and you can use the following locator strategies:
options = Options()
options.add_argument("start-maximized")
options.add_experimental_option("excludeSwitches", ["enable-automation"])
options.add_experimental_option('useAutomationExtension', False)
options.add_argument('--disable-blink-features=AutomationControlled')
s = Service('C:\\BrowserDrivers\\chromedriver.exe')
driver = webdriver.Chrome(service=s, options=options)
driver.get('https://www.wheel-size.com/size/acura/mdx/2001/')
print(WebDriverWait(driver, 20).until(EC.visibility_of_element_located((By.XPATH, "//span[contains(., 'Center Bore')]//following::span[1]"))).text)
print(WebDriverWait(driver, 20).until(EC.visibility_of_element_located((By.XPATH, "//span[contains(., 'PCD')]//following::span[1]"))).text)
Console Output:
64.1 mm
5x114.3
Note : You have to add the following imports :
from selenium.webdriver.support.ui import WebDriverWait
from selenium.webdriver.common.by import By
from selenium.webdriver.support import expected_conditions as EC
