I am new to BeautifulSoup, and I'm trying to extract data from the following website.
https://excise.wb.gov.in/CHMS/Public/Page/CHMS_Public_Hospital_Bed_Availability.aspx
I am trying to extract the availability of the hospital beds information (along with the detailed breakup) after choosing a particular district and also with the 'With available bed only' option selected.
Should I choose the table, the td, the tbody, or the div class for this instance?
My current code:
from bs4 import BeautifulSoup
import requests
html_text = requests.get('https://excise.wb.gov.in/CHMS/Public/Page/CHMS_Public_Hospital_Bed_Availability.aspx').text
soup = BeautifulSoup(html_text, 'lxml')
locations= soup.find('div', {'class': 'col-lg-12 col-md-12 col-sm-12'})
print(locations)
This only prints out a blank output:
Output
I have also tried using tbody and from table still could not work it out.
Any help would be greatly appreciated!
EDIT: Trying to find a certain element returns []. The code -
from bs4 import BeautifulSoup
import requests
html_text = requests.get('https://excise.wb.gov.in/CHMS/Public/Page/CHMS_Public_Hospital_Bed_Availability.aspx').text
soup = BeautifulSoup(html_text, 'lxml')
location = soup.find_all('h5')
print(location)
It is probably a dynamic website, it means that when you use bs4 for retrieving data it doesn't retrieve what you see because the page updates or loads the content after the initial HTML load.
For these dynamic webpages you should use selenium and combine it with bs4.

Hey i just wanted to test Python Webscraping and i have no Idea why this doesn't work.
As output i become [] and nothing else.
Has anyone an Idea? BEcause if i go to the Website and search for the element i find it.
from bs4 import BeautifulSoup
import requests
html_text = requests.get("https://osu.ppy.sh/users/20488254").text
soup = BeautifulSoup(html_text, "lxml")
job = soup.find("div", class_ = "profile-detail__col profile-detail__col--bottom-right")
print(job)
Player info is loaded dynamically with JS. So, you can't scrape dynamic content using plain bs4. Luckily, they provide user info in json format inside script tag. If you open page source and look for json-user you will see there is a tag:
<script id="json-user" type="application/json">
{"avatar_url":"https:\/\/a.ppy.sh\/20488254?1622470835.jpeg","country_code":"AT","default_group":"default","id":20488254,...
</script>
You can grab json inside that tag and get any information about player. Here is how it would look like:
import json
import requests
from bs4 import BeautifulSoup
html_text = requests.get("https://osu.ppy.sh/users/20488254").text
soup = BeautifulSoup(html_text, "lxml")
json_data = json.loads(soup.find('script', {'id':'json-user'}).string)
Now let's say you are looking for player's global rank. All you need to do is to find the correct keys to navigate you there:
player_rank = json_data['statistics']['global_rank']
# -> 199303
I am working on a webscraper using html requests and beautiful soup (New to this). For 1 webpage (https://www.lookfantastic.com/illamasqua-artistry-palette-experimental/11723920.html) I am trying to scrape a part, which I will replicate for other products. The html looks like:
<span class="js-enhanced-ecommerce-data hidden" data-product-title="Illamasqua Expressionist Artistry Palette" data-product-id="12024086" data-product-category="" data-product-is-master-product-id="false" data-product-master-product-id="12024086" data-product-brand="Illamasqua" data-product-price="£39.00" data-product-position="1">
</span>
I want to select the data-product-brand="Illamasqua" , specifically the Illamasqua. I am not sure how to grab this using html requests or Beautifulsoup. I tried:
r.html.find("span.data-product-brand", first=True)
But this was unsuccesful. Any help would be appreiciated.
Because you tagged beautifulsoup, here's a solution for using that package
from bs4 import BeautifulSoup
import requests
page = requests.get('https://www.lookfantastic.com/illamasqua-artistry-palette-experimental/11723920.html')
soup = BeautifulSoup(page.content, "html.parser")
# there are multiple matches for the class that contains the word 'Illamasqua', which is what I think you want in the end???
# you can loop through and get the brand like this; in this case there are three
for l in soup.find_all(class_="js-enhanced-ecommerce-data hidden"):
print(l.get('data-product-brand'))
# if it's always going to be the first, you can just do this
soup.find(class_="js-enhanced-ecommerce-data hidden").get('data-product-brand')
You can get element(s) with specified data attribute directly:
from requests_html import HTMLSession
session = HTMLSession()
r = session.get('https://www.lookfantastic.com/illamasqua-artistry-palette-experimental/11723920.html')
span=r.html.find('[data-product-brand]',first=True)
print(span)
3 results, and you need just first, i guess.
I'm having some serious issues trying to extract the titles from a webpage. I've done this before on some other sites but this one seems to be an issue because of the Javascript.
The test link is "https://www.thomasnet.com/products/adhesives-393009-1.html"
The first title I want extracted is "Toagosei America, Inc."
Here is my code:
import requests
from bs4 import BeautifulSoup
url = ("https://www.thomasnet.com/products/adhesives-393009-1.html")
r = requests.get(url).content
soup = BeautifulSoup(r, "html.parser")
print(soup.get_text())
Now if I run it like this, with get_text, i can find the titles in the result, however as soon as I change it to find_all or find, the titles are lost. I cant find them using web browser's inspect tool, because its all JS generated.
Any advice would be greatly appreciated.
You have to specify what to find, in this case <h2> to get first title:
import requests
from bs4 import BeautifulSoup
url = 'https://www.thomasnet.com/products/adhesives-393009-1.html'
soup = BeautifulSoup(requests.get(url).content, 'html.parser')
first_title = soup.find('h2')
print(first_title.text)
Prints:
Toagosei America, Inc.
I'm a novice in Python and am practicing web scraping by using BeautifulSoup.
I've checked some similar questions such as this one, this one, and this one. However, I'm still get stuck in my problem.
Here is my codes:
import urllib.request
from bs4 import BeautifulSoup
html = urllib.request.urlopen("https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_largest_recorded_music_markets").read()
soup = BeautifulSoup(html, 'html.parser')
tbody = soup.find_all('table',{"class":"wikitable plainrowheaders sortable jquery-tablesorter"})
First, I don't think the web page I'm looking for contains java script that was mentioned in similar questions. I intend to extract the data in those tables, but when I executed print(tbody), I found it was an empty list. Can someone have a look and give me some hints?
Thank you.
You must remove the jquery-tablesorter part. It is dynamically applied after the page loads, so if you include it, it doesn't work.
This should work:
import urllib.request
from bs4 import BeautifulSoup
html = urllib.request.urlopen("https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_largest_recorded_music_markets").read()
soup = BeautifulSoup(html, 'html.parser')
tbody = soup.find('table', {"class": "wikitable plainrowheaders sortable"})
print(tbody)
I am trying to take a movie rating from the website Letterboxd. I have used code like this on other websites and it has worked, but it is not getting the info I want off of this website.
import requests
from bs4 import BeautifulSoup
page = requests.get("https://letterboxd.com/film/avengers-endgame/")
soup = BeautifulSoup(page.content, 'html.parser')
final = soup.find("section", attrs={"class":"section ratings-histogram-
chart"})
print(final)
This prints nothing, but there is a tag in the website for this class and the info I want is under it.
The reason behind this, is that the website loads most of the content asynchronously, so you'll have to look at the http requests it sends to the server in order to load the page content after loading the page layout. You can find them in "network" section in the browser (F12 key).
For instance, one of the apis they use to load the rating is this one:
https://letterboxd.com/csi/film/avengers-endgame/rating-histogram/
You can get the weighted average from another tag
import requests
from bs4 import BeautifulSoup as bs
r = requests.get('https://letterboxd.com/film/avengers-endgame/')
soup = bs(r.content, 'lxml')
print(soup.select_one('[name="twitter:data2"]')['content'])
Text of all histogram
import requests
from bs4 import BeautifulSoup as bs
r = requests.get('https://letterboxd.com/csi/film/avengers-endgame/rating-histogram/')
soup = bs(r.content, 'lxml')
ratings = [item['title'].replace('\xa0',' ') for item in soup.select('.tooltip')]
print(ratings)
