Beautifulsoup scrape financial data

Question

I am an absolute beginner, trying to extract financial data from a website. The data I'm looking for is hidden in unordered lists and spans with no name. Does anybody know how to deal with this using beautifulsoup? I'd like to add the data in a dataframe in pandas.

<div class="finance__details__right">
        <ul>
            <li>
                <i>Άνοιγμα</i>
                <span data-bind="text: o.extend({priceNumeric: { dependOn: l, precision: 4 }})">15,8100</span>
            </li>
            <li>
                <i>Υψηλό</i>
                <span data-bind="text: hp.extend({priceNumeric: { dependOn: l, precision: 4 }})">16,2400</span>
            </li>
            <li>
                <i>Χαμηλό</i>
                <span data-bind="text: lp.extend({priceNumeric: { dependOn: l, precision: 4 }})">15,8100</span>
            </li>
        </ul>
        <ul>
            <li>
                <i>Όγκος</i>
                <span data-bind="text: tv() > 0? tv.extend({numeric: { precision: 0}})(): '', flashBackground: tv">301.286</span>
            </li>
            <li>
                <i>Τζίρος</i>
                <span data-bind="text: to() > 0? to.extend({numeric: { precision: 0 }})() + ' €': '', flashBackground: to">
4.843.588 €                </span>
            </li>
            <li>
                <i>Πράξεις</i>
                <span data-bind="text: t() > 0? t.extend({numeric: { precision: 0}})(): '', flashBackground: t">1.890</span>
            </li>
        </ul>
            <ul>
                <li>
                    <i>Αγοραστές</i>
                    <span data-bind="text: bs() > 0? b.extend({priceNumeric: l})() + ' x ' + bs.extend({numeric: { precision: 0}})(): '', flashBackground: b">
                    </span>
                </li>
                <li>
                    <i>Πωλητές</i>
                    <span data-bind="text: as() > 0? a.extend({priceNumeric: l})() + ' x ' + as.extend({numeric: { precision: 0}})(): '', flashBackground: a">
16,2400 x 6.884
                    </span>
                </li>
                <li>
                    <i>Κεφαλαιοποίηση</i>
                    <span data-bind="text: cp.extend({numeric: { precision: 0}})() + ' €', flashBackground: cp">2.320.552.455 &euro;</span>
                </li>

this is the code (that doesnt work)

SCRIP = 'ΜΥΤΙΛ'
link = f'https://www.capital.gr/finance/quote/{SCRIP}'
hdr = {'User-Agent':'Mozilla/5.0'}
req = Request(link,headers=hdr)
 
try:
    page=urlopen(req)
    soup = BeautifulSoup(page)
    
    div_html = soup.find('div',{'class': 'finance_details_right'})
    ul_html = div_html.find('ul')
    Κεφαλαιοποίηση = 0.0
        
    for li in ul_html.find_all("li"):
        name_span = li.find('')
        if 'Κεφαλαιοποίηση' in name_span.text: 
            num_span = li.find('span',{'class':''})
            
            Κεφαλαιοποίηση = float(num_span) if (num_span != '') else 0.0
            break
    
    print(f'Κεφαλαιοποίηση - {SCRIP}: {Κεφαλαιοποίηση} Cr')

except:
    print(f'EXCEPTION THROWN: UNABLE TO FETCH DATA FOR {SCRIP}')

I am looking for Κεφαλαιοποίηση and 2.320.552.455 without the euro sign

any help is greatly appreciated.

Thank you in advance

Answer 1

The following code will get you that number (if I understood your question) for a number of tickers:

import requests
from bs4 import BeautifulSoup

tickers = ['ΜΥΤΙΛ','ΛΑΜΔΑ'] 
for t in tickers:
    url = f'https://www.capital.gr/finance/quote/{t}'
    r = requests.get(url)
    soup = BeautifulSoup(r.text, 'lxml')

    el = soup.find('i', string = 'Κεφαλαιοποίηση').parent.find('span').text.split(' ')[0]
    print(t, 'Κεφαλαιοποίηση', el)

Result:

ΜΥΤΙΛ Κεφαλαιοποίηση 2.320.552.455
ΛΑΜΔΑ Κεφαλαιοποίηση 1.126.696.558
