I tried running my web scraping code. Sometime it works fine, but sometime it will give me Traceback Type Error code. I am wondering what is causing the error code?
Here is the error message:
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "D:\python-learning\listings.py", line 22, in <module>
pageLink='https://www.vancouverforsale.ca'+getData(pageLink)
File "D:\python-learning\listings.py", line 17, in getData
return nextLink['href']
TypeError: 'NoneType' object is not subscriptable
from bs4 import BeautifulSoup
import lxml
import requests
def getData(url):
html_text = requests.get(url).text
soup = BeautifulSoup(html_text,'lxml')
listings = soup.find_all('div', class_ = 'row property results')
for listing in listings:
address = listing.find('a', class_ = 'address').text
price = listing.find('a', class_ = 'price').text
print(address)
print(price)
#find next page
nextLink=soup.find('a', string='Next »')
return nextLink['href']
pageLink='https://www.vancouverforsale.ca/search/results/?
city=Langley®ion=all&list_price_min=50000&list_price_max=a
ll&beds_min=all&baths_min=all&type=con'
count=0
while count<3:
pageLink='https://www.vancouverforsale.ca'+getData(pageLink)
count+=1
You have to check if nextLink is not None before you try to get ['href']
next_link = soup.find('a', string='Next »')
if next_link:
return 'https://www.vancouverforsale.ca' + next_link['href']
and when nextLink is None then it can return None and you have to check it in main loop
for count in range(3):
page_link = get_data(page_link)
if not page_link:
break
