Working with json.net/vb or c# and Fiddler attempting to scrape content - screen-scraping

I've been working on this for days now and just can not wrap my head around it.
Straight up I am trying to grab prices from a big box store and failing, I can get all other content using the htmlagilitypack no problem but they use a json api to display the price tag.
I am using Fiddler and I am seeing the flow of data. In the Fiddler results I can see the json content coming back with the prices and the header information being passed, but I just can't seem to put any code together that would remotely work to get the same data that Fiddler sees.
Please, any pointers would be greatly appreciated, or even some online tutorials. I don't expect anyone to work this for me, I just need a starting point.
This is the page I am trying to get the price from.

Just an fyi, this is for my own purposes only, I search daily for pricing on products on several different sites and I am trying to just display the pricing on my own localhost from a few different sites.

How to get MORPH-II dataset

Recently I needed facial images and corresponding height and weight information as supporting data for a study, and I found that MORPH-II dataset had the data I needed.
Does anyone know where to apply for this dataset, and is my application channel wrong?
I have not received any response to the application form I submitted to the official website (https://uncw.edu/oic/tech/morph.html) for academic use and have tried to contact the author and the official contact email address.
It doesn't look like I can get the data this way, and I tried the links mentioned in the other questions and they don't seem to work anymore.

Unable to scrape data from a website with different tabs and dates

I am unable to scrape data from the website below.
Is there anyways we can possibly scrape data for the different tabs on the website for a number of days.

Tried some scraping on R as well but it doesn't seem to work as the data ranges need to be changed so not sure how to work that around?
Have you try in Python with with Scrapy and Selenium for example.
try to create a spyder to open de serveral links or import the from tabs, your choise,
and selectors to filter the data.
use the configurations to define the periodicity of each request/job...

Do I need a backend for my reactjs web app.?

Hi I’m building a front end web app using reactjs, my app will map over different array of dogs/cats/animals with multiple props and a couple images each. The ui has a search box which then filters out relevant animals.
My question is if my list were to get quite large, do I need to have it stored in a back end ? Or can it all be stored in front end, there will be no sensitive information or anything. So im not worried about security. I do not need to receive any information from the users. Basically it’s just a website for people to browse through.
And my second question. Once deploying to a host, Im currently leaning towards AWS. Is updating/adding/subtracting from my arrays simple as deleting the file and adding the new one into the bucket ??
Sounds exciting! But let's first back up a bit, and take stock of what we're trying to do. Essentially: we want an app that will show a bunch of images with functionality (e.g. filtering).
All images/photos (e.g. this cat photo) are hosted somewhere. Period. So, you can be the one responsible for hosting the images, or you could just have <img /> tags in your react app and refer to an existing img src links, where the image sources are being hosted by someone else.
So to answer your question: my question is if my list were to get quite large, do I need to have it stored in a back end ?
Not necessarily - if you're just referencing a bunch of images from a site that someone else is already hosting, then you're good.
As for this point: Or can it all be stored in front end, there will be no sensitive information or anything.
This question is kinda hard to answer, because nothing is really ever 'stored' in the front-end (let's ignore caching). Images live on the server, and the client (e.g. your chrome browser) makes requests to the server to get the images.
Now: if you want to upload your own photos or let users upload their photos. That's a very different story.
You would want to use s3 buckets. They could host your images.
However, based upon your post, I really think you should start step-step, and not host your own images (i.e. not have a backend), and instead just start by using images already on the internet. Good luck :)

Unable to store image in PouchDB--Ionic/angularjs/pouchdb

I am working to collect and store personal info / pic locally on PouchDB using ionic/angularjs. Then i would sync remotely to a server at a later time.
However, i have an array to collect the info, but i do not know how to store the pic using same array although i am able to display it in pictureUrl. Please, i would appreciate your kind help.
NOTE: The pic needs to be stored immediately i snap and click save.
Have you read the PouchDB guide to attachments? There are lot of live examples in there of working with images and storing them in PouchDB, which you can test right in your browser. :)

Products not appearing under content in admin in Drupal Commerce

I am importing products using Commerce Feeds. The products appear just fine on the front end and via Store > Products in the admin. However no products appear under Content in the admin area. I have tried clearing out the database, re-importing, re-indexing, flushing caches - nothing works.
Also this is bizarre and seemingly un-related, however I noticed it around the same time I realized my products were not appearing in the admin - there is a strange whitespace above my admin menu bar - which only appears on the Content page (also coincidently the page giving me trouble.)
Using Commerce Kickstart (commerce_kickstart-7.x-2.0-rc1) (Would love to upgrade to the latest release but I am unsure how to do this without losing a great deal of work. I have not found a good upgrade document - please chime in if you know something I don't!)
I feel kind of stupid now. I edited the admin/content view and saw there was a filter criteria which caused it to not display nodes of type "product_display." Evidently this is intentional behavior. I am guessing you are only supposed to manage products from within the store tab. Still wish I could figure out the cause of the phantom whitespace at the top though.
