python爬取canvas标签数据,如何使用python从HTML canvas检索数据？

I am new of web scraping and for one of the project I am working on, I need to retrieve data of bitcoin transactions over time from an interactive chart (https://bitinfocharts.com/comparison/bitcoin-transactions.html) using Python 2.7. I found that all the data I want is hidden in the 855x455 canvas instead of directly in the html file. However, I could find those data in Page source in the form of [new Date("2018/02/18"),159333]]. Why is that? And how can I scrape those data? Appreciate for the help!

On looking the html response I found that there is a script tag with all the entires added in Canvas.

var gIsLog = 0;

var gIsZoomed = "";

var d;

$(function() {

$(".average").each(function() {

$(this).html('Average ' + $(this).html());

});

$(".simple"
