web scraping - Python 3: using requests does not get the full content of a web page

Question

I am testing using the requests module to get the content of a webpage. But when I look at the content I see that it does not get the full content of the page.

Here is my code:

import requests
from bs4 import BeautifulSoup

url = "https://shop.nordstrom.com/c/womens-dresses-shop?origin=topnav&cm_sp=Top%20Navigation-_-Women-_-Dresses&offset=11&page=3&top=72"
page = requests.get(url)

soup = BeautifulSoup(page.content, 'html.parser')
print(soup.prettify())

Also on the chrome web-browser if I look at the page source I do not see the full content.

Is there a way to get the full content of the example page that I have provided?

Answer 1

The page is rendered with JavaScript making more requests to fetch additional data. You can fetch the complete page with selenium.

from bs4 import BeautifulSoup
from selenium import webdriver
driver = webdriver.Chrome()
url = "https://shop.nordstrom.com/c/womens-dresses-shop?origin=topnav&cm_sp=Top%20Navigation-_-Women-_-Dresses&offset=11&page=3&top=72"
driver.get(url)
soup = BeautifulSoup(driver.page_source, 'html.parser')
driver.quit()
print(soup.prettify())
