looking for a free market Data source for a bootcamp project.. I hoped to be able to scrape the price from the CME website:
https://www.cmegroup.com/trading/equity-index/us-index/e-mini-sandp500.html
Because I need to scrape very often (to have a good stream of data to allow me to record High and Lows for each 1 minute period), I thought to see what is the function that updates the price in the image below so to have some sort of API web-socket, even though I am just scraping.
I used the BreakPoint as in the image above to see what was updating the price element and I came to the conclusion this file is where the updating function is:
source code of updating function?
When I try to call any function from that source code in my Chrome Console input I cannot make it to work.
So I am a bit lost now.
is it actually possible?
would be good to have some direction on how to call the function that updates the price from my chrome console.
I can see the variable at breakpoint, but getting to them from the console manually.. seems really hard task.
Am I just trying to make a hole in the water? or is actually possible to call the updating function from a scraping library?
thanks
