Find/Find_all
BeautifulSoup
offers methods for going through HTML tags. One of them is the function .find()
. It returns the first tag which matches the parameter or None
if there are no matches:
12print(soup.find("p")) print(soup.find("h9"))
We will get the same result by accessing tags directly from the BeautifulSoup
object: ββprint(soup.p)
.
To receive the list of all occurrences of the particular tag, we can use the built-in function of the BeautifulSoup
object .find_all()
:
print(soup.find_all("p"))
It returns the list of instances of the tag object provided by BeautifulSoup
. Tag objects offer a comfortable interface to work with their contents.
One of the most important functions of BeautifulSoup
is the ability to find the specific types of tags using their attributes:
12print(soup.find_all("p", id = "id2")) print(soup.find_all(attrs = {"class":"afterbanner", "id": "id1"}))
The functions .find()
and .find_all()
are more convenient in usage as they can work in combination with attributes and regexes.
Using scraping, you are always interested in a specific part of the website, and unique attributes can help to identify them.
