bs4-approach to wikipedia-page: getting the infobox
i am currently trying to apply a bs4-approach to wikipedia-page: results do not store in a df
due to the fact that scraping on Wikipedia is a very very common technique - where we can use an appropiate approach to work with many many different jobs - i did have some issues with getting back the results - and store it into a df
well - as a example for a very common Wikipedia-bs4 job - we can take this one:
on this page we have more than 600 results - in sub-pages: url = "https://de.wikipedia.org/wikiListe_der_St%C3%A4dte_in_Deutschland#Liste_der_St%C3%A4dte_in_Deutschland"
so to do a first experimental script i follow like so : first i scrape the table from the Wikipedia page and afterwards i convert it into a Pandas DataFrame. Therefore i first install necessary packages: Make sure you have requests, beautifulsoup4, and pandas installed. You can install them using pip if you haven't already:
pip install requests beautifulsoup4 pandas
and then i follow like so : first i scrape the table from the Wikipedia page and afterwards i convert it into a Pandas DataFrame.
import pandas as pd
# URL of the Wikipedia page
url = "https://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Liste_der_St%C3%A4dte_in_Deutschland#Liste_der_St%C3%A4dte_in_Deutschland"
table = pd.read_html(url, extract_links='all')[1]
base_url = 'https://de.wikipedia.org'
table = table.apply(lambda col: [v[0] if v[1] is None else f'{base_url}{v[1]}' for v in col])
links = list(table.iloc[:,0])
for link in links:
print('\n',link)
try:
df = pd.read_html(link)[0]
print(df)
except Exception as e:
print(e)
see what i get back - only two records. instead of hundreds. btw; i guess that the best way would be to collect all in a df. and & / or store it

note: we have several hunderds records there:
see the infobox: i am wanting to fetch the data of the infobox
update: what is aimed: - how to get full results - that are stored in a df. - and containing all the data - in the info.box.. (see image above) - with the contact infos etc
update2:
the overview - page: https://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Liste_der_St%C3%A4dte_in_Deutschland#Liste_der_St%C3%A4dte_in_Deutschland
it takes us to approx 1000 sub-pages: like the following
Aach (Hegau): https://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aach_(Hegau) Aachen: https://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aachen Aalen: https://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aalen
see a result- of the so called "info-box": https://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Babenhausen_(Hessen) Babenhausen (Hessen)

Every city in dd tag, so u can just use find_all() function to get Name and URL. Then go one by one every URL and get table. In the example only 5 repetition, delete [:5] in loop for full
