Examples for bottomless pages:




  • YouTube comments (used to have pages, now bottomless. RePagination is powerless here.)

  • Quora.com answers.

  • Twitter feed.

  • Twitter tweet threads.

  • Twitter follow lists.

  • Instagram profiles.

  • Various other comment sections.

  • Reddit.com subreddits: List of threads.

  • (slightly different kind:) YouTube's “Show more replies” button that loads 10 comments at a time.

  • (deviation) Cascade all Quora subcomments.


One could scroll down (Windows: Press middle mouse key and move cursor down. A missing feature in Linux.) until reaching the bottom, but is there an automated way to do so?



How to download an entire bottomless page?



And if the page is literally bottomless such as Qz.com's website layout that jumps to the next article, maybe there should be a page limit of e.g. 20 pages.



What I attempt to achieve: Finding lost text on bottomless pages.

  • (personal opinion not in question text but in comments) I must say that I could never quite stand YouTube's AJAX comments. Especially now, they added “show more comment” bulk and removed the /all_comments?v= page in late 2015.
