I am trying to find the data of a object on a website using xpath but it wont recognize object.
I am using this which works for divs but it wont output anything but when trying to find objects.
response.xpath("//object").extract()
This is the object I am trying to extract data form (I need the url)
<object id="swfobject_embed" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" data="https://uploads.ungrounded.net/575000/575163_Superfighters.swf?123" style="visibility: visible;" width="800" height="600"><param name="wmode" value="direct"><param name="allowscriptaccess" value="never"><param name="allowfullscreen" value="true"><param name="allowfullscreeninteractive" value="true"><param name="flashvars" value="NewgroundsAPI_PublisherID=1&NewgroundsAPI_SandboxID=5be5746a96d56&NewgroundsAPI_SessionID=&NewgroundsAPI_UserName=&lt;deleted&gt;&NewgroundsAPI_UserID=0&ng_username=&lt;deleted&gt;"></object>

There is no <object> node in page source - it's generated dynamically by JavaScript. You can directly parse JavaScript function to get required swf-file URL:
import requests
import re
response = requests.get('https://www.newgrounds.com/portal/view/575163').text
swf_url = re.search('swfobject.embedSWF("(.+?)",', r).group(1)
print(swf_url)
