Trying to retrieve content (text) embedded in html. Not getting the content.
Trying to use selector in the format to find price_box:
price_box = soup2.find('div', attrs={'title class': 'Fw(600)'})
# Import libraries
import requests
import urllib.request
import time
from bs4 import BeautifulSoup
# Set the URL you want to webscrape from
url = 'https://finance.yahoo.com/quote/NVDA?p=NVDA'
# Connect to the URL
response = requests.get(url)
# Parse HTML and save to BeautifulSoup object¶
soup = BeautifulSoup(response.text, "html.parser")
beta = soup.find('h1')
#print (beta)
link = beta.contents
variable = 'NVDA - NVIDIA Corporation'
test = 'NVDA - NVIDIA Corporation'
#<..>
url2 = 'https://finance.yahoo.com/calendar/earnings?from=2019-09-01&to=2019-09-07&day=2019-09-01'
response2 = requests.get(url2)
soup2 = BeautifulSoup(response2.text, "html.parser")
# alpha = soup2.find('')
# div = soup.find('a', {class_ ='D(ib) '})
# text = div.string
price_box = soup2.find('div', attrs={'title class': 'Fw(600)'})
#price = price_box.text
print("Price Box: "+ str(price_box)) # THIS IS WHAT I WANT
Was hoping to see "Senea". Instead seeing "None" - "Price Box: None"
A lot of the content is dynamic. You can regex out that info easily
import requests, re
p = re.compile(r'"YFINANCE:(.*?)"')
r = requests.get('https://finance.yahoo.com/calendar/earnings?from=2019-09-01&to=2019-09-07&day=2019-09-01&guccounter=1')
print(p.findall(r.text)[0])
An alternate is to avoid the dynamic looking classes altogether
import requests
from bs4 import BeautifulSoup as bs
r = requests.get('https://finance.yahoo.com/calendar/earnings?from=2019-09-01&to=2019-09-07&day=2019-09-01&guccounter=1')
soup = bs(r.content, 'lxml')
print(soup.select_one('#cal-res-table a').text)
