Web Scraping with Python
Web Scraping with Python
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):
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:
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.

Here you will work on the same page about Christ the Redeemer as in the previous task.

BeautifulSouplibrary. - Print the attributes of the
ptag. - Print only the text of the
