I am working on a web-scraping project. One of the websites I am working with has the data coming from Javascript.
There was a suggestion on one of my earlier questions that I can directly call the Javascript from Python, but I'm not sure how to accomplish this.
For example: If a JavaScript function is defined as: add_2(var,var2)
How would I call that JavaScript function from Python?

Use ajax to Call Python From JavaScript. AJAX stands for Asynchronous JavaScript and XML. It utilizes the XMLHttpRequest object to communicate with servers. It can send and receive information in numerous formats, including HTML, XML, JSON, and text files.
Answer: No, Python cannot replace Javascript. In fact, the two languages complement each other. Javascript is used as a client-side scripting language, whereas Python is mostly used as a server-side scripting language.
To call a Python function from Node. js, we can call the spawn method. const { spawn } = require("child_process"); const pythonProcess = spawn('python', ["path/to/script.py", arg1, arg2]); to call the spawn method available in the child_process module.
Find a JavaScript interpreter that has Python bindings. (Try Rhino? V8? SeaMonkey?). When you have found one, it should come with examples of how to use it from python.
Python itself, however, does not include a JavaScript interpreter.
