Web scraping constantly updating data in Python
I'm trying to make this small program that scrapes the social blade website https://socialblade.com/youtube/user/pewdiepie/realtime for the sub count.
The data on the site is constantly being updated, how would i make this work so i get the number of subscribers each second or so?
python python-3.x web beautifulsoup screen-scraping

You can run your code in a loop and just sleep between calls.
import time
while some_true_condition:
scrape()
time.sleep(10)
The 10 refers to 10 seconds, which is a more reasonable approach. You might get banned if you query every second.
