I am extracting Amazon bestseller books data book name, author name, and price of the book. For this task, I am using the beautifulSoup and requests library. The URL is- https://www.amazon.in/gp/bestsellers/books/ [code snippet-price infoHTML tree structure](https://i.sstatic.net/7K0rN.png)
I am getting an empty list of price info. How to fix the issue?
I have checked one of the post in Stackoverflow it suggests the use of lxml. Does it apply to my case also?
Here is an example how you can get titles of the books + their price:
import requests
from bs4 import BeautifulSoup
headers = {
"User-Agent": "Mozilla/5.0 (X11; Ubuntu; Linux x86_64; rv:121.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/121.0"
}
url = "https://www.amazon.in/gp/bestsellers/books/"
soup = BeautifulSoup(requests.get(url, headers=headers).content, "html.parser")
for book in soup.select("div#gridItemRoot"):
title = book.select_one("a:not(:has(img))").text
price = book.select_one(".a-color-price").text
print(f"{price:<10} {title}")
