  • Usually, a single page application communicates with a server via an API. I would now to build something that runs against the HTML of the single page app Instead, I would try to connect directly to the underlying API.

With HTTParty you can only make HTTP requests, typically a SPA will communicate with the server via an API. But sometimes to data is in the HTML of the page so a combination of HTTParty and Nokogiri would make scrapping the data doable.



The easiest way to scrap data from a SPA is to use an headless browser like selenium with chrome-driver (configured as headless).
