Data problem at TS and RPR

[Caprice63]

Hi, I'd be grateful if anyone could help with this please. I have a problem with the results scaping. When I inspect the TS and RPR columns they are filled with "-" but on Racingpost and in the Racecard scrape they have data. As far as I can tell, nothing has changed in the python scripts. However, when I inspected a Racingpost results page I noticed that TS and RPR have "data-ending="TS" data-test-selector="full-result-topspeed">
41
">" in the element whereas OR only has "data-ending="OR">
59"

PS. I think there is a problem on the RP website as the RPR figs. are not always on the results page e.g. https://www.racingpost.com/results/5/bath/2024-08-17/872924

I don't download those fields so can't help I'm afraid. However you might get a better response if you can provide a bit more detail, e.g. what date / time did the problem start happening, maybe provide some examples for individual race records where you can see the problem. Regards, Richard

I wasn't going mad after all. I thought I should just mention, on further investigation it seems that the results pages are not fully populated until either late after the last race or perhaps even the following day. I tend to run the results 'rpscrape.py' each day about an hour after the last uk race and the majority, if not all, of the TS and RPR entries are '-'. I'll have to do a work-round to merge the racecards with the results.
