How to batch scrape Wall Street Journal (WSJ)'s Financial Ratios Data?
Ya, thanks for advice. When using requests_html library, I am trying to lower down the speed using response.html.render(timeout=1000), but it raise Runtime error instead on Google Colab: https://github.com/psf/requests-html/issues/517.
- Note, the first time you ever run the render() method, it will download Chromium into your home directory (e.g. ~/.pyppeteer/). This only happens once.

Top python libraries/ frameworks that you suggest every one
When it comes to web scraping, the usual people recommend is beautifulsoup, lxml, or selenium. But I highly recommend people check out requests-html also. Its a library that is a happy medium between ease of use as in beautifulsoup and also good enough to be used for dynamic, javascript data where it would be overkill to use a browser emulator like selenium.

Requests_html not working?
Quite possible. If you look at requests-html source code, it is simply one single python file that acts as a wrapper around a bunch of other packages, like requests, chromium, parse, lxml, etc., plus a couple convenience functions. So it could easily be some sort of bad dependency resolution.

Web Scraping in a professional setting: Selenium vs. BeautifulSoup
What I do is try to see if I can use requests_html first before trying selenium. requests_html is usually enough if I dont need to interact with browser widgets or if the authentication isnt too difficult to reverse engineer.

using requests with TLS doesn't give SNI support
My host suggested it was the lack of SNI support from requests (and Github seems to confirm that https://github.com/kennethreitz/requests/issues/749 ). Has anyone found a work-around using requests?

New To Python & Coding. How do I utilize this module/library?
Do I have to install any libraries or anything along those lines before using the certain functions? (I see the first things it says is "PyiCloud is a module which allows pythonistas to interact with iCloud webservices. It's powered by the fantastic requests HTTP library.", do I need to install this?)
What are some alternatives?

Scrapy - Scrapy, a fast high-level web crawling & scraping framework for Python.
