How I Fixed a Python Web Scraping API Mismatch and Got Accurate Data

1. Introduction

Hello, I am PiPi. A few days ago I asked a question in the Python Diamond group about a Python web‑scraping problem; the screenshot below shows the issue.

The initial code seemed fine, but the results displayed on the map did not match the data fetched by the crawler.

2. Implementation Process

Community member dcpeng provided a code snippet (shown below).

Running it still produced inaccurate results, leading to suspicion that the API was used incorrectly.

Another user, 🌑中华小矿工, suggested a method that allowed retrieval of the correct data.

After applying the method, the desired results were obtained.

The fix essentially involved switching to a different API.

After uploading the appropriate parameters, the data matched the front‑end display perfectly.

The final result aligns exactly with the data shown on the front end.

3. Conclusion

This article examined a Python web‑scraping issue, provided detailed analysis and code implementation, and helped the community resolve the problem successfully.
