@vikozo as you might have realised, the values displayed are generated by javascript - meaning the HTML that you get from a HTTP Request contains none of the data you require.

If you can identify a URL to an API that is called you might be able to locate the values of interest.

example...

- Open devtools (F12)
- select network tab
- refresh (f5)
