Why can't Amazon prices be scraped?
-
Im scraping the prices,author name and title of the book from the url :http://www.amazon.com/Alpha-Jasinda-Wilder-ebook/dp/B00IRGU5OU/ref=sr_1_65?s=digital-text&ie=UTF8&qid=1403504250&sr=1-65 ... And this is my scraping code using scrapy : http://pastebin.com/jTA62Bp0. I get only the title and author's name while the prices is empty..At the same time,I get the prices using the css selectors through Scrapy shell..What is the problem ?

Answer:
Bec the prices are populated via JavaScript. Scrapy doesn't supports javascript rendering. You have to use library like phantomjs with scrapy to parse prices . Bec it will emulate browser which scrapy is unable to do.
