Work with Soup

Continue exploring BeautifulSoup let’s learn some important functions! We can extract not only tag but also their parts (for example, names or attributes):


              12
            
print(soup.div.name)
print(soup.div.attrs)

In the code, we used the method .name to get the tag’s name and the function .attrs, which returns all tag attributes as a dictionary.

Another useful function is .get_text(), which extracts all the raw text from the website without HTML tags.

python

The output of the page will contain a lot of extra blank lines. It happened because of newline characters in the initial HTML file.

In a similar way you can also get only text in the extracted HTML tags using the function .get_text() or .string:


              12
            
print(soup.h1.string)
print(soup.h1.get_text())

If a tag contains more than one thing (or nothing), it is unclear what .string should refer to, so the function returns None.
