How do I approach scraping data that appears only on hover or in tooltips?

[Gojko Diomedes]

Puppeteer’s hover function is another great option; it loads the tooltip content on hover without needing a visible browser.

Some tooltips are loaded as separate AJAX requests, so inspecting network requests while hovering often reveals endpoints for the data.

CSS pseudo-elements like :hover can sometimes be manipulated to show hidden content in the browser for easier scraping.

If hovering over items manually is impractical, I program the script to hover over each element sequentially and capture the data.

[Iphigenia Patricius]

Some sites hide tooltip content in hidden divs. Uncovering these elements with JavaScript before scraping works in cases where data is preloaded.

[Nohemi Preben]

I add waits between hover actions to let each tooltip load fully, which prevents missing data from elements that take longer to display.

If the tooltip text is stored in attributes like title, extracting those attributes directly is simpler than relying on hover actions.
