The initial HTML does not contain the data you want to scrape, that’s why using only BeautifulSoup is not enough. You can load the page with Selenium and then scrape the content. Code: import json from bs4 import BeautifulSoup from selenium import webdriver from selenium.webdriver.support.ui import WebDriverWait from selenium.webdriver.support import expected_conditions as EC from selenium.webdriver.common.by … Read more
The example crashes because the RenderPage class attempts to create a new QApplication and event-loop for every url it tries to load. Instead, only one QApplication should be created, and the QWebPage subclass should load a new url after each page has been processed, rather than using a for-loop. Here’s a re-write of the example … Read more
Beautiful Soup 4 has a class for DOCTYPE declarations, so you can use that to extract all the declarations at top level (though you’re no doubt expecting one or none!) def doctype(soup): items = [item for item in soup.contents if isinstance(item, bs4.Doctype)] return items[0] if items else None
Okay, you can really speed this up by: go down to the low-level – see what underlying requests are being made and simulate them let BeautifulSoup use lxml parser use SoupStrainer for parsing only relevant parts of a page Since this is ASP.NET generated form and due to it’s security features, things get a bit … Read more
You can get the div text just not recursively retrieving the children texts: >>> from bs4 import BeautifulSoup >>> soup = BeautifulSoup(‘<div><b>ignore this</b>get this</div>’) >>> soup.div.find(text=True, recursive=False) u’get this’ This works independently of the position of the text with respect of the children: >>> soup = BeautifulSoup(‘<div>get this<b>ignore this</b></div>’) >>> soup.div.find(text=True, recursive=False) u’get this’
You’ll probably have to play a bit around with width and height attributes, but this should get you started. Basically, you’re just converting the image/links to html, then using the df.to_html to display those tags. Note, it won’t show if you’re working in an IDE like PyCharm, Spyder, but as you can see below with … Read more
I believe this is a bug with Lxml’s HTML parser. Try: from bs4 import BeautifulSoup import urllib2 html = urllib2.urlopen (“http://www.beppegrillo.it”) prova = html.read() soup = BeautifulSoup(prova.replace(‘ISO-8859-1’, ‘utf-8’)) print soup Which is a workaround for the problem. I believe the issue was fixed in lxml 3.0 alpha 2 and lxml 2.3.6, so it could be … Read more
You can find all the comments in a document with via the findAll method. See this example showing how to do exactly what you’re trying to do Removing elements: In brief, you want this: comments = soup.findAll(text=lambda text:isinstance(text, Comment)) Edit: If you’re trying to search within the columns, you can try: import re comments = … Read more
urllib.parse.urljoin() might help. It does a join, but it is smart about it and handles both relative and absolute paths. Note this is python 3 code. >>> import urllib.parse >>> base=”https://www.example-page-xl.com” >>> urllib.parse.urljoin(base, “https://stackoverflow.com/helloworld/index.php”) ‘https://www.example-page-xl.com/helloworld/index.php’ >>> urllib.parse.urljoin(base, ‘https://www.example-page-xl.com/helloworld/index.php’) ‘https://www.example-page-xl.com/helloworld/index.php’
You don’t need pip for installing Beautiful Soup – you can just download it and run python setup.py install from the directory that you have unzipped BeautifulSoup in (assuming that you have added Python to your system PATH – if you haven’t and you don’t want to you can run C:\Path\To\Python27\python “C:\Path\To\BeautifulSoup\setup.py” install) However, you … Read more
