How to navigate Yahoo Finance pages using beautiful soup?

I am currently using requests, BeautifulSoup, and the lxml parser to read and pull web content from Yahoo Finance. Is there any way I can call the request function using the home page of a company, and then make python navigate through the rest of the tabs for that company?
For example, I'm using Airbnb in this case, if I pass the following page: https://finance.yahoo.com/quote/ABNB?p=ABNB can I make my code navigate to the financials tab of the page and then pull data from there? What would the code for that look like? I have thought about using a for loop using page numbers but Yahoo Finance doesn't seem to have that.

Python Scrape Financial Data From iFrame

I'm trying to scrape data within the iFrame.
I have tried webdriver in Chrome as well as PhantomJS with no success. There are source links contained within the iframe where I assume its data is being pulled from, however, when using these links an error is generated saying "You can't render widget content without a correct InstanceId parameter."
Is it possible to access this data using python (PhantomJS)?
Go to network tools in your browser and investigate what data go to the server and just scrape via simple requests.

Unable to scrape dynamic web page

I am trying to scrape the table found https://ark.intel.com/content/www/us/en/ark/search/featurefilter.html?productType=873&1_Filter-Family=595&2_StatusCodeText=4
I tried using BeautifulSoup and Soup is unable to parse the info located inside the "body" tag. I get a null output when I try to parse the table.
How can I workaround this?
This page uses JavaScript to add data but BeautifulSoup/LXML can't run JavaScript - if you turn off javaScrip in browser and load page then you will see what BeautifulSoup/LXML can get.
You may need Selenium to control web browser which can run JavaScript.
Or you can try to use DevTools in Chrome/Firefox (tab Network) to get url usesJavaScript(AJAX/XHR) to download data. And you can try to use this url withrequestsandBeautifulSoup`
I found it uses url:
https://ark.intel.com/libs/apps/intel/support/ark/advancedFilterSearch?productType=873&1_Filter-Family=595&2_StatusCodeText=4&forwardPath=/content/www/us/en/ark/search/featurefilter.html&pageNo=1
I didn't check if requests will need special settings (ie. cookies, headers) to get it.
You can use Puppeteer to 'control' the dynamic web page, and scrape it with BS.
See here : https://github.com/puppeteer/puppeteer/tree/master/examples

What happens when scraping items from a website table using Selenium?

I'm using Selenium to scrape table data from a website. I found that I can easily iterate through the rows to get the information that I need using xcode. Does selenium keep hitting the website every time I search for an object's text by xcode? Or does it download the page first and then search through the objects offline?
If the former is true does is there a way to download the html and iterate offline using Selenium?
Selenium uses a Web Driver, similar to your web browser. Selenium will access/download the web page once, unless you've wrote the code to reload the page.
You can download the web page and access it locally in selenium. For example you could get selenium to access the web page "C:\users\public\Desktop\index.html"
