    from scrapy.spiders import Spider
    from ..items import QtItem


    class QuoteSpider(Spider):
     name = 'acres'
      start_urls = ['https://housing.com/in/buy/searches/AB1AC0M1P4hkd3fsj8fd9kanb']

    def parse(self, response):
        items = QtItem()

        all_div_names = response.xpath('//article')

        for bks in all_div_names:
            name = bks.xpath('//span[@class="css-fwbz9r"]/text()').extract()
            price = bks.xpath('//h2[@class="css-yr18fa"]/text()').extract()
            sqft = bks.xpath('//*[contains(concat( " ", @class, " " ), concat( " ", "css-ebj250", " " )) and (((count(preceding-sibling::*) + 1) = 1) and parent::*)]//*[contains(concat( " ", @class, " " ), concat( " ", "css-1ty8tu4", " " ))]/text()').extract()
            bhk = bks.xpath('//a[@class="css-163eyf0"]/text()').extract()

        items['ttname'] = name
        items['ttprice'] = price
        items['ttsqft'] = sqft
        items['ttbhk'] = bhk

        yield items

I am new to scrapy. I am using above given spider to scrape data from the website mentioned in the code. The website mentioned in code is dynamic and is having infinite scrolling. I want to scrape data from whole website but it only gives me first 20 values. I have successfully managed to scrape those 20 values data in the desired manner, but unable to scrape rest 4000(approx.) as it is having infinite scrolling.

The output I get is : 
    
     {'ttbhk': ['3 BHK Apartment',
           '2 BHK Apartment',
           '2 BHK Apartment',
           '4 BHK Apartment',

            '1685 sq.ft',
