How to 'Web Scrape' pdf files from a site using the sitemap.xml file to provide the id numbers to reform our URLs using Python, Pandas, Jupyter...and the 'advertools' package.
Note: Use requests to get each of the resultant/reconstructed URLs produced by the Pandas code. Remember to pass the headers with the url.
I didn't show the downloading of the pdf files as that is trivial once you are able to form the url, and the target site was just an example.
I saw this post on Stackoverflow and wanted to help. By using advertools and Pandas the code was very short and there was no need for Selenium or bs4 or Scrapy.

Proxies

If you need a good, easy to use proxy, I was recommended this one, and having used ScraperAPI for a while I can vouch for them. If you were going to sign up anyway, then maybe you would be kind enough to use the link and the coupon code below?
You can also do a full working trial first as well, (unlike some other companies). The trial doesn't ask for any payment details either so all good! 👍

Thumbs up yeah? (cos Algos..)
