AJAX is a commonly used tool by front end developers when writing JavaScript code. It fetches data from the backend system asynchronously meaning the website can be much more dynamic and allows new content to be loaded without having to refresh the page.

For those of you who are learning to extract data from sites knowing the basics of how this works will help you save time working out where the data is coming from and the best ways to get it out.

Great video as always, John. I really enjoy your content, I think it helps me in order to grow as a data engineer. Btw, I have a doubt and I hope you can help me. Do you know any way to generate the _view_state parameter in jscript websites? I usually extract, in that kind of cases, data with selenium but my personal objective is using just requests for everything haha.

Well.. Thanks for telling what AJAX is, wasn't sure that I can name such stuff this way 😅
I think it's a great video for people who didn't learn this technique yet.

Hi John!
And when does a website need, in addition to cookies, a token that is generated when the user interacts with the page?

Thanks for the great content!
