I am trying to scrape data from a website which uses JSF (JSF is also in the URL like https://xxxx/xxx/x.jsf) for my work.
I have tried a couple of scraping tools like Parsehub & Octoparse but I noticed that they try to reload the page to extract data to a .csv file. After reloading the page, the problem is that all the results are gone and I have to recall (re-filter) the data I need from the website.
Is there a scraping tool that can help me with that? I know that I may get it done using Java or Python, but my programming skills are not enough for such a thing.

I just learned that you can actually download an entire website using programs like httrack or IDM, what stops people from using these programs to download the whole Netflix library for example, and never pay for a subscription, it shouldn't be that easy so can someone tell me what's the catch?
Movies and shows are basically stored in separate servers/departments, and downloading just the HTML would not give you access to any of the other files. Think of it as viewing the page source for any other website, like even StackOverFlow, you cannot view the CSS, javascript, or any other files of it. You are only able to see the HTML.
BTW as a heads up, this is not a quality question and does not meet the guidelines of StackOverFlow, I would suggest you ask these type of questions in the communities of StackOverflow.
I'm pretty sure movies and series are stored on different servers, downloading the HTML of a website doesn't give you access to their files.
I am beginner in web scraping. I have seen quite many videos regarding it.
If I want to scrape a data from a website, is it possible for me to do so without using the selector gadgets manually?
I want to code this in R.
I have a list of URLs in a csv file and I would like to scrape locations for each website. I am really new in scraping, so I do not know what tool or language is better. Is there some method to make it? Any help would be appreciated.
Web scraping can be done in several ways. There are many tools online and it also depends on your selection of language that suits you. I worked on Python and can suggest you to try Beautiful Soup, Requests and other API's. You also need to understand DOM structure of the webpage you want to scrape.
You may like to see documentation of Beautiful Soup: https://www.crummy.com/software/BeautifulSoup/bs4/doc/
Note that in a webpage, you need to understand DOM structure to search its location and extract location data accordingly.
I'm trying to figure out how to take live data from one site and have it displayed on my site. I would like to do so, where the data updates as it updates on the original site. My theme is sports gaming and my site is structured like ESPN. I would like to grab all the team standings and players stats.
Sorry if I am unclear.
So basically you want to scrape a website and display it in yours, possibly in a better way.
So I would recommend to use KIMONO, Its an web scraping service, which will provide you with the api to get the data in a proper Model.
Check it out, IT should get your job done.
If not you can create your own scraper in PHP (PHP Simple HTML DOM Parser) or Javascript, there are libraries in Javascript also.
Hope it helps!
Happy Coding !!!

Use a tor proxy:
Tor Project
You can reset the proxy after every page or after every site. Keep in mind that some sites look for certain patterns and can tell your scraping them. With html agility pack the web is one big data repository, just make sure your not use someone else's data in a way that would get you in trouble.
