Scraping search results off of Sportchek with Beautiful Soup 4 to find prices

So I’m trying to web scrape search results from Sportchek with BS4, specifically this link “https://www.sportchek.ca/categories/men/footwear/basketball-shoes.html?page=1”. I want to get the prices off of the shoes here and put them all into a system to sort it, however, to do this I need to get the prices first and I cannot find a way to do that. In the HTML, the class is product-price-text but I can’t glean anything off of it. At this point, getting even the price of only 1 shoe would be fine. I just need help on scraping anything class-related on BS4 because none of it works. I’ve tried

print(soup.find_all("span", class_="product-price-text"))

and even that won’t work so please help.

The data is loaded dynamically via JavaScript. You can use the requests module to load it:

import json
import requests

url = "https://www.sportchek.ca/services/sportchek/search-and-promote/products?page=1&lastVisibleProductNumber=12&x1=ast-id-level-3&q1=men%3A%3Ashoes-footwear%3A%3Abasketball&preselectedCategoriesNumber=3&preselectedBrandsNumber=0&count=24"
headers = {
    "User-Agent": "Mozilla/5.0 (X11; Ubuntu; Linux x86_64; rv:87.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/87.0",
}

data = requests.get(url, headers=headers).json()

# uncomment this to print all data:
# print(json.dumps(data, indent=4))

for p in data["products"]:
    print("{:<10} {:<10} {}".format(p["code"], p["price"], p["title"]))
