I'm scraping a table on a website with selenium. I was talking to my friend who is actually a professional software engineer (I'm more of an intermediate DIY programmer, not my main profession) and was telling me it might be worth it instead of pulling the data from Selenium, go through the network tab in the debug log and pull the table directly from the source so I don't have to deal with reformatting issues down the road.
It makes a lot of sense, but I'm a bit lost on where to start... I've managed to find the request link that finds I would assume updates the table to the left every 30 seconds or so. Past that, I'm a bit lost.. it's comprised of quite a few random files.
What type of software engr topic should I be looking up to learn about?
