I am trying to webscrape this website: https://datausa.io/profile/university/cuny-city-college/
My code only retrieves the first matching div class tag which is tuition but I only want to retrieve Room and Board cost. How do I parse a specific tag?
import requests
url = requests.get('https://datausa.io/profile/university/cuny-city-college/')
soup = BeautifulSoup(url.text, 'html.parser')
rb = soup.find('div',class_='stat-value')
print(rb.prettify)
What you can do use find
method on state-titel
and add specific text in it so it will find that tag and we have to extract previous tag from it so use previous
method on it!
import requests
url = requests.get('https://datausa.io/profile/university/cuny-city-college/')
soup = BeautifulSoup(url.text, 'html.parser')
rb = soup.find('div',class_='stat-title',text="Room and Board").find_previous()
print(rb.get_text())
Output:
$15,406
