What is the best way to scrape information from a website?

Question

Python

Hello.
There is a site https://strelkacard.ru/ - the site allows you to find out the balance on the card.
In order not to constantly climb into the browser, I decided to make a script in Python.
But I don't really know how best to solve this problem
. As a start, I wrote a simple script using Selenium, I managed to get the balance, but it's still the same browser, albeit automated.
I decided to try Scrapy, but it gives an error when installing via pip

Answer 1

Try installing not via pip, but as the doc says:
Though it's possible to install Scrapy on Windows using pip, we recommend you to install Anaconda or Miniconda and use the package from the conda-forge channel, which will avoid most installation issues.

Answer 2

Answer 3

You can try Requests + Beautiful Soup.

Answer 4

What for steroid pumping like selenium, when a task of 5 lines is solved by the standard requests library. In the same place, you don’t need anything at all, send a GET request and get a response in JSON format. This is almost an open API, nothing complicated and everything is convenient. Do not forget to copy all the headers from the browser so that the site does not swear (just in case).
