I am doing trading in a real time website. Now I want to scrap it continuously to extract real time stock or currency data for calculations using selenium and python. How do I approach the same. The webpage data is getting updated continuously and shown in the attached image in highlighted colours. Every time the data changes I should be able to extract it and do some calculations in the code. Pls help me to achieve the same.

to capture the dynamically changing value of Nifty50 for the 1D segment.

You should use the below XPath:

//button[text()='1D']/ancestor::nav//following-sibling::section/descendant::a[text()='Nifty 50']/../following-sibling::td/span

Your effective code would be:

driver.maximize_window()
wait = WebDriverWait(driver, 20)

driver.get('https://in.investing.com/')

i = 0
while True:
   time.sleep(5)
   oneD_Nifty50 = wait.until(EC.visibility_of_element_located((By.XPATH, "//button[text()='1D']/ancestor::nav//following-sibling::section/descendant::a[text()='Nifty 50']/../following-sibling::td/span")))
   print(oneD_Nifty50.text)
   i = i + 1

   if i == 10:
       break
   else:
       continue

Imports:

from selenium.webdriver.support.ui import WebDriverWait
from selenium.webdriver.common.by import By
from selenium.webdriver.support import expected_conditions as EC

Output:

17,828.80
17,828.65
17,828.40
17,828.70
17,828.70
17,827.20
17,827.70
17,827.70
17,828.80
17,828.80
