Python Requests HTML - Result of found item doesn't return content


Hi im scraping a webpage with my script, the problem is only one item (title) can be found correctly, other items only throw back html when grabbed like that:

[<Element 'div' class=('rd-product-description__top-accordion-content-description',)>]

My Script:

from requests_html import HTMLSession

url = 'https://www.kaufland.de/product/324406424/?search_value=staubsauger'
s = HTMLSession()
r = s.get(urlos)
r.html.render(sleep=1)
titel  = str(r.html.find('h1.rd-title')).replace("[<Element 'h1' title='", "").replace("' class=('rd-title',)>]", "")
price = r.html.find('span.rd-price-information__price')
description = r.html.find('div.rd-product-description__top-accordion-content-description', first=True)
print(description)

The Webpage to scrape: https://www.kaufland.de/product/324406424/?search_value=staubsauger

What is the reason i cant get anything out of it? Trying it with .text also doesnt work, as the element has no text object.


Solution

  • The data you see on the page is stored inside <script> and processed by JavaScript. To get price, description, etc. you can use js2py module. For example:

    import re
    import js2py
    import requests
    from bs4 import BeautifulSoup
    
    
    url = "https://www.kaufland.de/product/324406424/?search_value=staubsauger"
    
    data = re.search(r"__PDPFRONTEND__=(.*?\));", requests.get(url).text).group(1)
    data = js2py.eval_js(data)
    
    price = data["state"]["product-store"]["price$"]
    desc = data["state"]["product-store"]["description$"]["descriptionHtml"]
    
    desc = BeautifulSoup(desc, "html.parser")
    
    print(price)
    print()
    print(desc.get_text(strip=True))
    

    Prints:
