Beautiful Soup is a Python library used for web scraping tasks. It provides an easy and efficient way to extract information from HTML or XML documents. One common task in web scraping is finding <a>
tags and extracting the value of the href
attribute.
In this guide, we will demonstrate how to use Beautiful Soup to find <a>
tags and access the value of the href
attribute. Let's get started!
First, make sure you have Beautiful Soup installed. You can install it using pip:
pip install beautifulsoup4
Now, let's assume we have an HTML document with some <a>
tags. We want to extract the URLs from these tags. Here's an example HTML document:
<html>
<body>
<a href="https://www.example.com">Example Domain</a>
<a href="https://www.google.com">Google</a>
<a href="https://www.facebook.com">Facebook</a>
</body>
</html>
To extract the URLs from the <a>
tags using Beautiful Soup, we can follow these steps:
from bs4 import BeautifulSoup
import requests
html = """
<html>
<body>
<a href="https://www.example.com">Example Domain</a>
<a href="https://www.google.com">Google</a>
<a href="https://www.facebook.com">Facebook</a>
</body>
</html>
"""
soup = BeautifulSoup(html, 'html.parser')
<a>
tags using the find_all()
method:a_tags = soup.find_all('a')
<a>
tags and get the value of the href
attribute:for a in a_tags:
href = a['href']
print(href)
This will output:
https://www.example.com
https://www.google.com
https://www.facebook.com
And that's it! We have successfully extracted the URLs from the <a>
tags using Beautiful Soup.
Remember, Beautiful Soup is a powerful library and provides many other methods and features for web scraping. You can explore the official documentation for more information and examples.
Happy scraping!
