I am having trouble reading data from a url with BeautifulSoup
This is my code:
url1 = "https://www.barstoolsportsbook.com/events/1018282280"
from bs4 import BeautifulSoup
import requests
headers = {
'User-agent':
"Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 10.0; Win64; x64) AppleWebKit/537.36 (KHTML, like Gecko) Chrome/70.0.3538.102 Safari/537.36 Edge/18.19582"
}
html = requests.get(url1, headers=headers)
soup = BeautifulSoup(html.text, 'lxml')
data = soup.findAll('div',attrs={"class":"section"})
print(data)
#for x in data:
# print(x.find('p').text)
When I print(data) I am returned []. What could be the reason for this? I would like to avoid using selenium for this task if possible.
This is the HTML for what I'm trying to grab
<div data-v-50e01018="" data-v-2a52296d="" ><p data-v-5f665d29="" data-v-50e01018="" >HOT TIPS</p><p data-v-5f665d29="" data-v-50e01018="" > The Mets have led after 3 innings in seven of their last nine night games against NL East Division opponents that held a losing record. </p><p data-v-5f665d29="" data-v-50e01018="" > The 'Inning 1 UNDER 0.5 runs' market has hit in each of the Marlins' last nine games against NL East opponents. </p></div>

You can likely get what you want with this request:
import requests

}
response = requests.get('https://api.isportgenius.com.au/preview/1018282280', headers=headers)
response.json()
You should browse the network tab to see where the rest of the data is coming from, or use a webdriver.
