Differences when Pulling Web Page Source with PAD vs Browser

(0) ShareShare

Posted on by 96

Hi all,

 

I'm working on some web scraping processes recently, and I've noticed that PAD seems to pull additional source data when using the Get details of web page action than when I just right click a page and click "View Source". For example, one website, clicking View Source would pull back ~200 lines, but PAD pulls ~5000 lines, which is a lot more detailed. I'm curious, why is this? What is PAD doing that pulls back so much more data?

If you want to test it for yourself, you can do so on the Google main page. Both ways will pull back the same number of lines, but within those lines PAD seems to have more data.
