This is regarding retrieving data from Mr.Robot
When I used the inspect element tool to investigate the traffic I was getting from the site via the network panel, here's a sample of the data I got
Does anyone know where I can find the data that corresponds to the video(tv episode)?
I saw that the file format of xhr represents the XMLHttpRequest so that is a combination of my browser requesting JSON, HTML, and XML from the web server? (Can someone confirm this as well)
I am trying to find a type that corresponds to one of these but having no luck.
I am doing this to enhance my knowledge of web and network engineering.
In the network tab, if you select to see the headers tab, you can see this information:
Request URL:http://api.massrelevance.com/usadigitalapps/mr-robot-tag-mrrobot.json?limit=5&since_id=1039088770827352555_891624285
Here, you can see it's a request to a JSON file. :D
EDIT: Try going to this URL when the video is not playing in the browser (for some reason, when I had the page loaded this was returning as blank):
http://api.massrelevance.com/usadigitalapps/mr-robot-tag-mrrobot.json?limit=5&since_id=1039263408306586885_20082880
That was the request mine was making. In there, you can find a video URL:

Remove the \
and you'll see the video :D
