Waiting for get requests to finish in selenium

For this example let's look at the site pinterest:

When i make the initial login, there is a loading of pins. In order to get more pins i need to scroll to the end of the page, after there is a request made for more pins (Lot's of sites are working like that i suppose)

So i know how to do the scroll in selenium, but how do i wait for the request to end?

I mean, it's not waiting for certain element to appear, the kind of element (The pins) is already there but i am waiting for others to appear.

If i use expected condition with wait, it good for the first batch of pins, but those that add to them, how do i wait for them, example:

When pinterest first load->

WebDriverWait driverWait = new WebDriverWait(cd, 10, 1000);

element = driverWait.until(ExpectedConditions.visibilityOfElementLocated(By.xpath("thepins")));

Which is great for the initial loading, now i scroll to the bottom of the page 

((JavascriptExecutor) cd).executeScript("window.scrollTo(0, document.body.scrollHeight)");

Now depends on the page, there is a loading to more pins(And sometimes not) i want to wait for them to load before i do another scroll.

What is the best approach to this situation?

The way I would do it is using the number of elements on the page. So for example you could do:

int pinCount = webDriver.findElements(By.xpath("thepins")).size();

At this point run your jsExecutor for the scroll, then:

webDriverWait.until(ExpectedConditions.numberOfElementsToBeMoreThan(By.xpath("thepins"),pinCount ));

I think the best way to handle this is by having class with all the possibilities, than you call it from where you need to wait and the code bellow will do the magic, works very well for me 

import org.openqa.selenium.JavascriptExecutor;
import org.openqa.selenium.WebDriver;
import org.openqa.selenium.support.ui.ExpectedCondition;
import org.openqa.selenium.support.ui.WebDriverWait;

public class Waiter {

    private static WebDriver jsWaitDriver;
    private static WebDriverWait jsWait;
    private static JavascriptExecutor jsExec;

    //Get the driver 
    public static void setDriver (WebDriver driver) {
        jsWaitDriver = driver;
        jsWait = new WebDriverWait(jsWaitDriver, 45);
        jsExec = (JavascriptExecutor) jsWaitDriver;
    }

    //Wait for JQuery Load
    public static void waitForJQueryLoad() {
        //Wait for jQuery to load
        ExpectedCondition<Boolean> jQueryLoad = driver -> ((Long) ((JavascriptExecutor) jsWaitDriver)
                .executeScript("return jQuery.active") == 0);

        //Get JQuery is Ready
        boolean jqueryReady = (Boolean) jsExec.executeScript("return jQuery.active==0");

        //Wait JQuery until it is Ready!
        if(!jqueryReady) {
            System.out.println("JQuery is NOT Ready!");
            //Wait for jQuery to load
            jsWait.until(jQueryLoad);
        } else {
            System.out.println("JQuery is Ready!");
        }
    }

    //Wait for Angular Load
    public static void waitForAngularLoad() {
        WebDriverWait wait = new WebDriverWait(jsWaitDriver,45);
        JavascriptExecutor jsExec = (JavascriptExecutor) jsWaitDriver;

        String angularReadyScript = "return angular.element(document).injector().get('$http').pendingRequests.length === 0";

        //Wait for ANGULAR to load
        ExpectedCondition<Boolean> angularLoad = driver -> Boolean.valueOf(((JavascriptExecutor) driver)
                .executeScript(angularReadyScript).toString());

        //Get Angular is Ready
        boolean angularReady = Boolean.valueOf(jsExec.executeScript(angularReadyScript).toString());

        //Wait ANGULAR until it is Ready!

If you know how many pins will show up in total, you can use:

// new wait 30 seconds
WebDriverWait wait30s = new WebDriverWait(driver,30);
wait30s.until(ExpectedConditions.numberOfElementsToBe("THIS LOCATOR MUST FIT TO ALL PINS", number));

// or
wait30s.until(ExpectedConditions.numberOfElementsToBeMoreThan("THIS LOCATOR MUST FIT TO ALL PINS", number));
