I am trying to do scraping in Python.
Then, I want to scrape a stock-info website. But I failed, I don’t know why.
import urllib # wallstreetcn info page url_src = 'view-source:https://wallstreetcn.com/live/global?from=navbar' url_content = urllib.request.urlopen(url_src)
It gives the error below:
URLError: urlopen error unknown url type: view-source
But when I used Chrome I can view the source code by right-click.

Answer
Try removing view-source:
from your url_src
, in essence:
url_src = 'https://wallstreetcn.com/live/global?from=navbar'
I think view-source:
is Chrome specific (so Chrome knows to show you source rather than the webpage).
