I want to scrape this webpage. I'm using BeautifulSoup.
url="https://www.blockchain.com/btc/block/00000000000000000011898368c395f1c35d56ea9109d439256d935a4fe7d656"
page=requests.get(url)
soup=BeautifulSoup(page.text,'html.parser')
block_details=soup.find(class_="hnfgic-0 jlMXIC")
print block_details.get_text()
The output is:

But i want the output as:

I intend to use strsplit
function with this string. So a end-line separator between two texts will help me differentiate the strings by using strsplit("\n")
.
Please help.
EDIT: Selenium's .text
function generates my desired output, but I want a fix using BeautifulSoup.
You can add separator='\n'
parameter to get_text()
method:
import requests
from bs4 import BeautifulSoup
url="https://www.blockchain.com/btc/block/00000000000000000011898368c395f1c35d56ea9109d439256d935a4fe7d656"
page=requests.get(url)
soup=BeautifulSoup(page.text,'html.parser')
block_details=soup.find(class_="hnfgic-0 jlMXIC")
print(block_details.get_text(separator='\n')) # <-- note the separator parameter
Prints:
Hash
00000000000000000011898368c395f1c35d56ea9109d439256d935a4fe7d656
