Quickstart
Give this a try:
from gazpacho import get, Soup url = 'https://scrape.world/books' html = get(url) soup = Soup(html) books = soup.find('div', {'class': 'book-'}, strict=False) def parse(book): name = book.find('h4').text price = float(book.find('p').text[1:].split(' ')[0]) return name, price [parse(book) for book in books]
Tutorial
Import
Import gazpacho following the convention:
from gazpacho import get, Soup
get
Use the get function to download raw HTML:
url = 'https://scrape.world/soup' html = get(url) print(html[:50]) # '<!DOCTYPE html>\n<html lang="en">\n <head>\n <met'
Adjust get requests with optional params and headers:
get( url='https://httpbin.org/anything', params={'foo': 'bar', 'bar': 'baz'}, headers={'User-Agent': 'gazpacho'} )
Soup
Use the Soup wrapper on raw html to enable parsing:
soup = Soup(html)
.find
Use the .find method to target and extract HTML tags:
h1 = soup.find('h1') print(h1) # <h1 id="firstHeading" class="firstHeading" lang="en">Soup</h1>
attrs=
Use the attrs argument to isolate tags that contain specific HTML element attributes:
soup.find('div', attrs={'class': 'section-soup'})
strict=
Adjust the strict argument to partial match element attributes:
soup.find('div', {'class': 'section-'}, strict=False)
mode=
Override the mode argument {'auto', 'first', 'all'} to guarantee return behaviour:
print(soup.find('span', mode='first')) # <span class="navbar-toggler-icon"></span> len(soup.find('span', mode='all')) # 8
dir()
Soup objects have html, tag, attrs, and text attributes:
dir(h1) ['attrs', 'find', 'html', 'tag', 'text']
Use them accordingly:
print(h1.html) # '<h1 id="firstHeading" class="firstHeading" lang="en">Soup</h1>' print(h1.tag) # h1 print(h1.attrs) # {'id': 'firstHeading', 'class': 'firstHeading', 'lang': 'en'} print(h1.text) # Soup
