I am not really experienced in web scraping. I have just started as a self-taught and find the HTML source code quite messy and poorly structured.
I want to improve my code in two ways:
Include all the missing matches (country quota matches, semifinals, bronze medal, and gold medal) and the respective category for each match (country quota matches, pool, winner's bracket, semifinals, bronze medal, and gold medal)
iterate the code for more years and tournaments from the dropdown menu at the top of the webpage
I have tried to iterate through different years but my code does not work
tournament_years = {"FIVB 2015", "FIVB 2016"}
dfs = []
for year in tournament_years:
# select desired tournament
box_year = Select(driver.find_element_by_xpath("/html/body/table[3]/tbody/tr/td/table[1]/tbody/tr[1]/td[2]/select"))
box_year.select_by_visible_text(year)
box_matches = Select(driver.find_element_by_xpath("/html/body/table[3]/tbody/tr/td/table[1]/tbody/tr[2]/td[2]/select"))
box_matches.select_by_visible_text("Matches")
The main idea was to create a list of dataframes for each year and each tournament by adding a new loop at the beginning of the code.
If someone has a better idea and technique to do so, it is really appreciated!

How do I return multiple 'scorers' when scraping for football results using Python?

I'm just a few hours into learning Python so please go easy with me! I'm just wanting to scrape scores and scorers off a website, I've been able to do that, however, I'm only getting one scorer (if there is one!), when there are multiple goal scorers I am only getting the first. I think I'm trying to look for multiple scorers under '# Home Scorers'.
My code:
from bs4 import BeautifulSoup
import requests
import pandas as pd
url = "https://www.skysports.com/football-results"
match_results = {}
match_details = {}
match_no = 0
response = requests.get(url)
data = response.text
soup = BeautifulSoup(data,'html.parser')
matches = soup.find_all('div',{'class':'fixres__item'})
for match in matches:
try:
match_url_get = match.find('a',{'class':'matches__item matches__link'}).get('href')
match_url = match_url_get if match_url_get else "unknown"
event_id = match_url[-6:]
match_response = requests.get(match_url)
match_data = match_response.text
match_soup = BeautifulSoup(match_data,'html.parser')
# Match Details
match_date = match_soup.find('time',{'class':'sdc-site-match-header__detail-time'}).text
match_location = match_soup.find('span',{'class':'sdc-site-match-header__detail-venue'}).text
match_info = match_soup.find('p',{'class':'sdc-site-match-header__detail-fixture'}).text
# Home Scores & Team
home_details = match_soup.find_all('span',{'class':'sdc-site-match-header__team-name sdc-site-match-header__team-name--home'})
for home_detail in home_details:
home_team = home_detail.find('span',{'class':'sdc-site-match-header__team-name-block-target'}).text
home_score_get = match_soup.find('span',{'class':'sdc-site-match-header__team-score-block','data-update':'score-home'})
home_score = home_score_get.text if home_score_get else "none"
# Home Scorers
home_scorer_details = match_soup.find_all('ul',{'class':'sdc-site-match-header__team-synopsis','data-update':'synopsis-home'})
for home_scorer_detail in home_scorer_details:
goal_scorer_get = home_scorer_detail.find('li',{'class':'sdc-site-match-header__team-synopsis-line'})
goal_scorer = goal_scorer_get.text if goal_scorer_get else "none"
goal_score_minute_get = home_scorer_detail.find('span',{'class':'sdc-site-match-header__event-time'})
goal_score_minute = goal_score_minute_get.text if goal_score_minute_get else "none"
# Away Scores & Team
away_details = match_soup.find_all('span',{'class':'sdc-site-match-header__team-name sdc-site-match-header__team-name--away'})
for away_detail in away_details:
away_team = away_detail.find('span',{'class':'sdc-site-match-header__team-name-block-target'}).text
away_score_get = match_soup.find('span',{'class':'sdc-site-match-header__team-score-block','data-update':'score-away'})
away_score = away_score_get.text if away_score_get else "none"
# Home Scorers
away_scorer_details = match_soup.find_all('ul',{'class':'sdc-site-match-header__team-synopsis','data-update':'synopsis-away'})
for away_scorer_detail in away_scorer_details:
away_goal_scorer_get = away_scorer_detail.find('li',{'class':'sdc-site-match-header__team-synopsis-line'})
away_goal_scorer = away_goal_scorer_get.text if away_goal_scorer_get else "none"
away_goal_score_minute_get = away_scorer_detail.find('span',{'class':'sdc-site-match-header__event-time'})
away_goal_score_minute = away_goal_score_minute_get.text if away_goal_score_minute_get else "none"
print("Match: ",event_id , "Match Date:", match_date, "Match Location:", match_location, "Match Info:", match_info, "\nResult: ", home_team, home_score, away_team, away_score)
print("Home Scorer:", goal_scorer, "Minute:",goal_score_minute, "\nAway Scorer:", away_goal_scorer, "Minute:",away_goal_score_minute)
print(match_date)
except:
pass
match_no+=1
match_results[match_no] = [event_id, home_team, home_score, away_team, away_score, match_url, match_date, match_location, match_info]
match_details[match_no] = [event_id, goal_scorer, goal_score_minute, away_goal_scorer, away_goal_score_minute]
Period = "2021-22"
print("Total Matches: ", match_no)
match_results = pd.DataFrame.from_dict(match_results, orient='index', columns = ['Event_ID:', 'Home Team:','Home Score:','Away Team:','Away Score:','Link:','Match Date:','Match Location:','Match Info:'])
match_results.to_csv("Python/FL/Premier League Results (SkySports.com) " + Period + ".csv")
match_details = pd.DataFrame.from_dict(match_details, orient='index', columns = ['Event_ID:', 'Home Goal:','Home Goal Minute:','Away Goal:','Away Goal Minute:'])
match_details.to_csv("Python/FL/Premier League Details (SkySports.com) " + Period + ".csv")
So the bit that's not working correctly is:
# Home Scorers
home_scorer_details = match_soup.find_all('ul',{'class':'sdc-site-match-header__team-synopsis','data-update':'synopsis-home'})
for home_scorer_detail in home_scorer_details:
goal_scorer_get = home_scorer_detail.find('li',{'class':'sdc-site-match-header__team-synopsis-line'})
goal_scorer = goal_scorer_get.text if goal_scorer_get else "none"
goal_score_minute_get = home_scorer_detail.find('span',{'class':'sdc-site-match-header__event-time'})
goal_score_minute = goal_score_minute_get.text if goal_score_minute_get else "none"
Any ideas how I can return multiple rows for that bit?!
Thanks in advance :)

home_scorer_details only has 1 item, the unordered list itself.
To get all the scorers you need to get the items in that list.
The following code, which is pretty rough, will create a list of dictionaries where each dictionary has the name of the scorer and the minute(s) they scored.
You could use similar code to get all the away scorers.
Like I said, this code is rough and needs refined but it should give you a start.
# Home Scorers
home_scorer_details = match_soup.find_all('ul',{'class':'sdc-site-match-header__team-synopsis','data-update':'synopsis-home'})
home_scorers = []
for home_scorer_detail in home_scorer_details[0].find_all('li'):
goal_scorer = home_scorer_detail.text
goal_score_minute_get = home_scorer_detail.find('span',{'class':'sdc-site-match-header__event-time'})
goal_score_minute = goal_score_minute_get.text if goal_score_minute_get else "none"
home_scorers.append({'scorer': goal_scorer, 'minute': goal_score_minute})
print(home_scorers)

how to request date and location in snapchat ads api?

i'm trying to request in snapchat ads api the result of a campaign by date (for example yesterday) and sorted by the country.
I find the request for the date
"https://adsapi.snapchat.com/v1/campaigns/["id"]/stats?granularity=DAY&start_time=["date_start"]&end_time=["date_end"]
And the request for the country
"https://adsapi.snapchat.com/v1/campaigns/["id"]/stats?granularity=LIFETIME&dimension=GEO&pivots=country"
this is my code i'm just requesting by country
r = requests.get("https://adsapi.snapchat.com/v1/organizations/" + organization_id + "/adaccounts", headers = data)
#get all the add accounts
ad_list = json.loads(r.text)
ad_list = ad_list["adaccounts"]
account_list = {}
for obj in ad_list:
test = obj["adaccount"]
account_list[test["name"]] = {}
account_list[test["name"]]["id"] = test["id"]
account_list[test["name"]]["timezone"] = test["timezone"]
#get all the add accounts campaign's
for key in account_list:
r = requests.get("https://adsapi.snapchat.com/v1/adaccounts/" + account_list[key]["id"] + "/campaigns", headers = data)
ad_id = json.loads(r.text)
ad_id = ad_id["campaigns"]
for obj in ad_id:
test = obj["campaign"]
account_list[key][test["name"]] = {}
account_list[key][test["name"]]["type"] = "campaign"
account_list[key][test["name"]]["id"] = test["id"]
#get campaign stats by country
try:
if (req == "1"):
r = requests.get("https://adsapi.snapchat.com/v1/campaigns/" + test["id"] + "/stats?granularity=LIFETIME&dimension=GEO&pivots=country&fields=impressions,swipes,spend", headers = data)
stat = json.loads(r.text)
stat = stat["lifetime_stats"]
stat = stat[0]["lifetime_stat"]
dic = stat["dimension_stats"]
for country in dic:
account_list[key][test["name"]][country["country"]] = {}
for key2 in country:
account_list[key][test["name"]][country["country"]][key2] = country[key2]
except:
continue
But whatever i'm trying i can't find a way to request the country's result between two date. Is there a solution for this problem? Thanks in Advance.

Appending a python dict from a while loop gives unexpected results

The max number of records in my input json is 100 however there is a paging-next link that provides the next 100 records. Below is what I have but it returns a dict with only 100 entries- I know there are more- How should I modify this function to get all the records?
def process_comment_json(comment_json):
post_comment_dict = dict()
next_links = list()
if 'comments' in comment_json.keys():
try:
for y in comment_json['comments']['data']:
post_id = comment_json['id']
commentor_name = y['from']['name']
commentor_id = y['from']['id']
created_time = y['created_time']
message = remove_non_ascii(y['message'])
sentiment = return_sentiment_score(message)
post_comment_dict[commentor_id] = {'commentor_name':commentor_name,\
'created_time':created_time, 'message':message,\
'sentiment':sentiment}
except:
print("malformed data, skipping this comment in round1")
if 'next' in comment_json['comments']['paging']:
print('found_next appending')
next_links.append(comment_json['comments']['paging']['next'])
else:
return post_comment_dict
while next_links:
print("processing next_links")
print("current len of post_comment_dict is:", len(post_comment_dict))
for next_link in next_links:
t = requests.get(next_link)
nl_json = t.json()
next_links.pop()
if "data" in list(nl_json.keys()):
for record in nl_json['data']:
try:
for y in comment_json['comments']['data']:
post_id = comment_json['id']
commentor_name = y['from']['name']
commentor_id = y['from']['id']
created_time = y['created_time']
message = remove_non_ascii(y['message'])
sentiment = return_sentiment_score(message)
post_comment_dict[commentor_id] = {'commentor_name':commentor_name,\

'sentiment':sentiment}
except:

Edit: Didn't really have anything else going on, so I made your data format into a nice list of dictionaries. There's a weird <td height="26"> on monkey 111, so I had to change the regex slightly.
