BeautifulSoup用来解析HTML比较简单,API非常人性化,支持CSS选择器、Python标准库中的HTML解析器,也支持lxml的XML解析器。
其相较与正则而言,使用更加简单。
示例:
首先必须要导入bs4库
#!/usr/bin/python3 # -*- conding:utf-8 -*- __author__ = ‘mayi‘ from bs4 import BeautifulSoup html = """ <html><head><title>The Dormouse‘s story</title></head> <body> <p class="title" name="dromouse"><b>The Dormouse‘s story</b></p> <p class="story">Once upon a time there were three little sisters; and their names were <a href="http://example.com/elsie" class="sister" id="link1"><!-- Elsie --></a>, <a href="http://example.com/lacie" class="sister" id="link2">Lacie</a> and <a href="http://example.com/tillie" class="sister" id="link3">Tillie</a>; and they lived at the bottom of a well.</p> <p class="story">...</p> """ # 创建 Beautiful Soup 对象,指定lxml解析器 soup = BeautifulSoup(html, "lxml") # 格式化输出 soup 对象的内容 print(soup.prettify())
运行结果
<html> <head> <title> The Dormouse‘s story </title> </head> <body> <p class="title" name="dromouse"> <b> The Dormouse‘s story </b> </p> <p class="story"> Once upon a time there were three little sisters; and their names were <a class="sister" href="http://example.com/elsie" id="link1"> <!-- Elsie --> </a> , <a class="sister" href="http://example.com/lacie" id="link2"> Lacie </a> and <a class="sister" href="http://example.com/tillie" id="link3"> Tillie </a> ; and they lived at the bottom of a well. </p> <p class="story"> ... </p> </body> </html>
四大对象种类
BeautifulSoup将复杂的HTML文档转换成一个复杂的树形结构,每个节点都是Python对象,所有对象可以归纳为4种:
- Tag
- NavigableString
- BeautifulSoup
- Comment
1.Tag
Tag 通俗点讲就是HTML中的一个个标签,例如:
<head><title>The Dormouse‘s story</title></head> <a class="sister" href="http://example.com/elsie" id="link1"><!-- Elsie --></a> <p class="title" name="dromouse"><b>The Dormouse‘s story</b></p>
上面title head a p 等等HTML标签加上里面包括的内容就是Tag,那么试着使用BeautifulSoup来获取Tags:
#!/usr/bin/python3 # -*- conding:utf-8 -*- __author__ = ‘mayi‘ from bs4 import BeautifulSoup html = """ <html><head><title>The Dormouse‘s story</title></head> <body> <p class="title" name="dromouse"><b>The Dormouse‘s story</b></p> <p class="story">Once upon a time there were three little sisters; and their names were <a href="http://example.com/elsie" class="sister" id="link1"><!-- Elsie --></a>, <a href="http://example.com/lacie" class="sister" id="link2">Lacie</a> and <a href="http://example.com/tillie" class="sister" id="link3">Tillie</a>; and they lived at the bottom of a well.</p> <p class="story">...</p> """ # 创建 Beautiful Soup 对象,指定lxml解析器 soup = BeautifulSoup(html, "lxml") # # 打印title标签 print(soup.title) # 打印head标签 print(soup.head) # 打印a标签 print(soup.a) # 打印p标签 print(soup.p) # 打印soup.p的类型 print(type(soup.p))
运行结果
<title>The Dormouse‘s story</title> <head><title>The Dormouse‘s story</title></head> <a class="sister" href="http://example.com/elsie" id="link1"><!-- Elsie --></a> <p class="title" name="dromouse"><b>The Dormouse‘s story</b></p> <class ‘bs4.element.Tag‘>
我们可以利用soup加标签名轻松地获取这些标签内容,这些对象的类型是bs4.element.Tag。但是注意,它查找的是在所有内容中的第一个符合要求的标签。如果需要查询所有的标签,后面会进行介绍。
对于Tag,它有两个重要的属性,就是name和attrs
#!/usr/bin/python3 # -*- conding:utf-8 -*- __author__ = ‘mayi‘ from bs4 import BeautifulSoup html = """ <html><head><title>The Dormouse‘s story</title></head> <body> <p class="title" name="dromouse"><b>The Dormouse‘s story</b></p> <p class="story">Once upon a time there were three little sisters; and their names were <a href="http://example.com/elsie" class="sister" id="link1"><!-- Elsie --></a>, <a href="http://example.com/lacie" class="sister" id="link2">Lacie</a> and <a href="http://example.com/tillie" class="sister" id="link3">Tillie</a>; and they lived at the bottom of a well.</p> <p class="story">...</p> """ # 创建 Beautiful Soup 对象,指定lxml解析器 soup = BeautifulSoup(html, "lxml") # soup对象比较特殊,它的name为[document] print(soup.name) # 对于其他内部标签,输出的值便为标签本身的名称 print(soup.head.name) # 打印p标签的所有属性,其类型是一个字典 print(soup.p.attrs) # 打印p标签的class属性 print(soup.p[‘class‘]) # 还可以利用get方法获取属性,传入属性的名称,与上面的方法等价 print(soup.p.get(‘class‘)) print(soup.p) # 修改属性 soup.p[‘class‘] = "newClass" print(soup.p) # 删除属性 del soup.p[‘class‘] print(soup.p)
运行结果
[document] head {‘class‘: [‘title‘], ‘name‘: ‘dromouse‘} [‘title‘] [‘title‘] <p class="title" name="dromouse"><b>The Dormouse‘s story</b></p> <p class="newClass" name="dromouse"><b>The Dormouse‘s story</b></p> <p name="dromouse"><b>The Dormouse‘s story</b></p>
2.NavigableString
既然我们已经得到了标签的内容,那么问题来了,我们想要获取标签内部的文字怎么办呢?很简单,用.string即可,例如:
#!/usr/bin/python3 # -*- conding:utf-8 -*- __author__ = ‘mayi‘ from bs4 import BeautifulSoup html = """ <html><head><title>The Dormouse‘s story</title></head> <body> <p class="title" name="dromouse"><b>The Dormouse‘s story</b></p> <p class="story">Once upon a time there were three little sisters; and their names were <a href="http://example.com/elsie" class="sister" id="link1"><!-- Elsie --></a>, <a href="http://example.com/lacie" class="sister" id="link2">Lacie</a> and <a href="http://example.com/tillie" class="sister" id="link3">Tillie</a>; and they lived at the bottom of a well.</p> <p class="story">...</p> """ # 创建 Beautiful Soup 对象,指定lxml解析器 soup = BeautifulSoup(html, "lxml") # 打印p标签的内容 print(soup.p.string) # 打印soup.p.string的类型 print(type(soup.p.string))
运行结果
The Dormouse‘s story <class ‘bs4.element.NavigableString‘>
3.BeautifulSoup
BeautifulSoup对象表示的是一个文档的内容。大部分时候,可以把它当作Tag对象,是一个特殊的Tag,我们可以分别获取它的类型,名称,以及属性
#!/usr/bin/python3 # -*- conding:utf-8 -*- __author__ = ‘mayi‘ from bs4 import BeautifulSoup html = """ <html><head><title>The Dormouse‘s story</title></head> <body> <p class="title" name="dromouse"><b>The Dormouse‘s story</b></p> <p class="story">Once upon a time there were three little sisters; and their names were <a href="http://example.com/elsie" class="sister" id="link1"><!-- Elsie --></a>, <a href="http://example.com/lacie" class="sister" id="link2">Lacie</a> and <a href="http://example.com/tillie" class="sister" id="link3">Tillie</a>; and they lived at the bottom of a well.</p> <p class="story">...</p> """ # 创建 Beautiful Soup 对象,指定lxml解析器 soup = BeautifulSoup(html, "lxml") # 类型 print(type(soup.name)) # 名称 print(soup.name) # 属性 print(soup.attrs)
运行结果
<class ‘str‘> [document] {}
4.Comment
Comment对象是一个特殊类型的NavigableString对象,其输出的内容不包括注释符号。
#!/usr/bin/python3 # -*- conding:utf-8 -*- __author__ = ‘mayi‘ from bs4 import BeautifulSoup html = """ <html><head><title>The Dormouse‘s story</title></head> <body> <p class="title" name="dromouse"><b>The Dormouse‘s story</b></p> <p class="story">Once upon a time there were three little sisters; and their names were <a href="http://example.com/elsie" class="sister" id="link1"><!-- Elsie --></a>, <a href="http://example.com/lacie" class="sister" id="link2">Lacie</a> and <a href="http://example.com/tillie" class="sister" id="link3">Tillie</a>; and they lived at the bottom of a well.</p> <p class="story">...</p> """ # 创建 Beautiful Soup 对象,指定lxml解析器 soup = BeautifulSoup(html, "lxml") print(soup.a) print(soup.a.string) print(type(soup.a.string))
运行结果
<a class="sister" href="http://example.com/elsie" id="link1"><!-- Elsie --></a> Elsie <class ‘bs4.element.Comment‘>
a标签里的内容实际上是注释,但是如果我们利用.string来输出它的内容时,注释符号已经去掉了。
遍历文档树
1.直接子节点:.contents .children属性
.content
Tag的.content属性可以将Tag的子节点以列表的方式输出
#!/usr/bin/python3 # -*- conding:utf-8 -*- __author__ = ‘mayi‘ from bs4 import BeautifulSoup html = """ <html><head><title>The Dormouse‘s story</title></head> <body> <p class="title" name="dromouse"><b>The Dormouse‘s story</b></p> <p class="story">Once upon a time there were three little sisters; and their names were <a href="http://example.com/elsie" class="sister" id="link1"><!-- Elsie --></a>, <a href="http://example.com/lacie" class="sister" id="link2">Lacie</a> and <a href="http://example.com/tillie" class="sister" id="link3">Tillie</a>; and they lived at the bottom of a well.</p> <p class="story">...</p> """ # 创建 Beautiful Soup 对象,指定lxml解析器 soup = BeautifulSoup(html, "lxml") # 输出方式为列表 print(soup.head.contents) print(soup.head.contents[0])
运行结果
[<title>The Dormouse‘s story</title>] <title>The Dormouse‘s story</title>
.children
它返回的不是一个列表,不过我们可以通过遍历获取所有的子节点。
#!/usr/bin/python3 # -*- conding:utf-8 -*- __author__ = ‘mayi‘ from bs4 import BeautifulSoup html = """ <html><head><title>The Dormouse‘s story</title></head> <body> <p class="title" name="dromouse"><b>The Dormouse‘s story</b></p> <p class="story">Once upon a time there were three little sisters; and their names were <a href="http://example.com/elsie" class="sister" id="link1"><!-- Elsie --></a>, <a href="http://example.com/lacie" class="sister" id="link2">Lacie</a> and <a href="http://example.com/tillie" class="sister" id="link3">Tillie</a>; and they lived at the bottom of a well.</p> <p class="story">...</p> """ # 创建 Beautiful Soup 对象,指定lxml解析器 soup = BeautifulSoup(html, "lxml") # 输出方式为列表生成器对象 print(soup.head.children) # 通过遍历获取所有子节点 for child in soup.head.children: print(child)
运行结果
<list_iterator object at 0x008FF950> <title>The Dormouse‘s story</title>
2.所有子孙节点:.descendants属性
上面讲的.contents和.children属性仅包含Tag的直接子节点,.descendants属性可以对所有Tag的子孙节点进行递归循环,和children类似,我们也需要通过遍历的方式获取其中的内容。
#!/usr/bin/python3 # -*- conding:utf-8 -*- __author__ = ‘mayi‘ from bs4 import BeautifulSoup html = """ <html><head><title>The Dormouse‘s story</title></head> <body> <p class="title" name="dromouse"><b>The Dormouse‘s story</b></p> <p class="story">Once upon a time there were three little sisters; and their names were <a href="http://example.com/elsie" class="sister" id="link1"><!-- Elsie --></a>, <a href="http://example.com/lacie" class="sister" id="link2">Lacie</a> and <a href="http://example.com/tillie" class="sister" id="link3">Tillie</a>; and they lived at the bottom of a well.</p> <p class="story">...</p> """ # 创建 Beautiful Soup 对象,指定lxml解析器 soup = BeautifulSoup(html, "lxml") # 输出方式为列表生成器对象 print(soup.head.descendants) # 通过遍历获取所有子孙节点 for child in soup.head.descendants: print(child)
运行结果
<generator object descendants at 0x00519AB0> <title>The Dormouse‘s story</title> The Dormouse‘s story
3.节点内容:.string属性
如果Tag只有一个NavigableString类型子节点,那么这个Tag可以使用.string得到子节点。如果一个Tag仅有一个子节点,那么这个Tab也可以使用.string方法,输出结果与当前唯一子节点的.string结果相同。
通俗点来讲就是:如果一个标签里面没有标签了,那么.string就会返回标签里面的内容。如果标签里面只有唯一的一个标签了,那么.string也会返回里面的内容。例如:
#!/usr/bin/python3 # -*- conding:utf-8 -*- __author__ = ‘mayi‘ from bs4 import BeautifulSoup html = """ <html><head><title>The Dormouse‘s story</title></head> <body> <p class="title" name="dromouse"><b>The Dormouse‘s story</b></p> <p class="story">Once upon a time there were three little sisters; and their names were <a href="http://example.com/elsie" class="sister" id="link1"><!-- Elsie --></a>, <a href="http://example.com/lacie" class="sister" id="link2">Lacie</a> and <a href="http://example.com/tillie" class="sister" id="link3">Tillie</a>; and they lived at the bottom of a well.</p> <p class="story">...</p> """ # 创建 Beautiful Soup 对象,指定lxml解析器 soup = BeautifulSoup(html, "lxml") print(soup.head.string) print(soup.head.title.string)
运行结果
The Dormouse‘s story The Dormouse‘s story
搜索文档树
1.find_all(name, attrs, recursive, text, **kwargs)
1)name参数
name参数可以查找所有名字为name的Tag,字符串对象会被自动忽略掉
a.传字符串
最简单的过滤器就是字符串,在搜索方法中传入一个字符串参数,Beautiful Soup会查找与字符串完整匹配所有的内容,返回一个列表。
#!/usr/bin/python3 # -*- conding:utf-8 -*- __author__ = ‘mayi‘ from bs4 import BeautifulSoup html = """ <html><head><title>The Dormouse‘s story</title></head> <body> <p class="title" name="dromouse"><b>The Dormouse‘s story</b></p> <p class="story">Once upon a time there were three little sisters; and their names were <a href="http://example.com/elsie" class="sister" id="link1"><!-- Elsie --></a>, <a href="http://example.com/lacie" class="sister" id="link2">Lacie</a> and <a href="http://example.com/tillie" class="sister" id="link3">Tillie</a>; and they lived at the bottom of a well.</p> <p class="story">...</p> """ # 创建 Beautiful Soup 对象,指定lxml解析器 soup = BeautifulSoup(html, "lxml") print(soup.find_all("b")) print(soup.find_all("a"))
运行结果
[<b>The Dormouse‘s story</b>] [<a class="sister" href="http://example.com/elsie" id="link1"><!-- Elsie --></a>, <a class="sister" href="http://example.com/lacie" id="link2">Lacie</a>, <a class="sister" href="http://example.com/tillie" id="link3">Tillie</a>]
B.传正则表达式
如果传入正则表达式作为参数,Beautiful Soup会通过正则表达式match()来匹配内容
#!/usr/bin/python3 # -*- conding:utf-8 -*- __author__ = ‘mayi‘ from bs4 import BeautifulSoup import re html = """ <html><head><title>The Dormouse‘s story</title></head> <body> <p class="title" name="dromouse"><b>The Dormouse‘s story</b></p> <p class="story">Once upon a time there were three little sisters; and their names were <a href="http://example.com/elsie" class="sister" id="link1"><!-- Elsie --></a>, <a href="http://example.com/lacie" class="sister" id="link2">Lacie</a> and <a href="http://example.com/tillie" class="sister" id="link3">Tillie</a>; and they lived at the bottom of a well.</p> <p class="story">...</p> """ # 创建 Beautiful Soup 对象,指定lxml解析器 soup = BeautifulSoup(html, "lxml") for tag in soup.find_all(re.compile("^b")): print(tag.name)
运行结果
body b
C.传列表
如果传入列表参数,Beautiful Soup会将与列表中任一元素匹配的内容以列表方式返回
#!/usr/bin/python3 # -*- conding:utf-8 -*- __author__ = ‘mayi‘ from bs4 import BeautifulSoup html = """ <html><head><title>The Dormouse‘s story</title></head> <body> <p class="title" name="dromouse"><b>The Dormouse‘s story</b></p> <p class="story">Once upon a time there were three little sisters; and their names were <a href="http://example.com/elsie" class="sister" id="link1"><!-- Elsie --></a>, <a href="http://example.com/lacie" class="sister" id="link2">Lacie</a> and <a href="http://example.com/tillie" class="sister" id="link3">Tillie</a>; and they lived at the bottom of a well.</p> <p class="story">...</p> """ # 创建 Beautiful Soup 对象,指定lxml解析器 soup = BeautifulSoup(html, "lxml") print(soup.find_all([‘a‘, ‘b‘]))
2)keyword参数
#!/usr/bin/python3 # -*- conding:utf-8 -*- __author__ = ‘mayi‘ from bs4 import BeautifulSoup html = """ <html><head><title>The Dormouse‘s story</title></head> <body> <p class="title" name="dromouse"><b>The Dormouse‘s story</b></p> <p class="story">Once upon a time there were three little sisters; and their names were <a href="http://example.com/elsie" class="sister" id="link1"><!-- Elsie --></a>, <a href="http://example.com/lacie" class="sister" id="link2">Lacie</a> and <a href="http://example.com/tillie" class="sister" id="link3">Tillie</a>; and they lived at the bottom of a well.</p> <p class="story">...</p> """ # 创建 Beautiful Soup 对象,指定lxml解析器 soup = BeautifulSoup(html, "lxml") print(soup.find_all(id="link1"))
运行结果
[<a class="sister" href="http://example.com/elsie" id="link1"><!-- Elsie --></a>]
3)text参数
通过text参数可以搜索文档中的字符串内容,与name参数的可选值一样,text参数接受字符串,正则表达式,列表
#!/usr/bin/python3 # -*- conding:utf-8 -*- __author__ = ‘mayi‘ from bs4 import BeautifulSoup import re html = """ <html><head><title>The Dormouse‘s story</title></head> <body> <p class="title" name="dromouse"><b>The Dormouse‘s story</b></p> <p class="story">Once upon a time there were three little sisters; and their names were <a href="http://example.com/elsie" class="sister" id="link1"><!-- Elsie --></a>, <a href="http://example.com/lacie" class="sister" id="link2">Lacie</a> and <a href="http://example.com/tillie" class="sister" id="link3">Tillie</a>; and they lived at the bottom of a well.</p> <p class="story">...</p> """ # 创建 Beautiful Soup 对象,指定lxml解析器 soup = BeautifulSoup(html, "lxml") # 字符串 print(soup.find_all(text = " Elsie ")) # 列表 print(soup.find_all(text = ["Tillie", " Elsie ", "Lacie"])) # 正则表达式 print(soup.find_all(text = re.compile("Dormouse")))
运行结果
[‘ Elsie ‘] [‘ Elsie ‘, ‘Lacie‘, ‘Tillie‘] ["The Dormouse‘s story", "The Dormouse‘s story"]
CSS选择器
这是另一种与find_all()方法有异曲同工的查找方法
- 写CSS时,标签名不加任何修饰,类名前加.,id名前加#
- 在这里我们也可以利用类似的方法来筛选元素,用到的方法是soup.select(),返回的类型是list
(1)通过标签名查找
#!/usr/bin/python3 # -*- conding:utf-8 -*- __author__ = ‘mayi‘ from bs4 import BeautifulSoup html = """ <html><head><title>The Dormouse‘s story</title></head> <body> <p class="title" name="dromouse"><b>The Dormouse‘s story</b></p> <p class="story">Once upon a time there were three little sisters; and their names were <a href="http://example.com/elsie" class="sister" id="link1"><!-- Elsie --></a>, <a href="http://example.com/lacie" class="sister" id="link2">Lacie</a> and <a href="http://example.com/tillie" class="sister" id="link3">Tillie</a>; and they lived at the bottom of a well.</p> <p class="story">...</p> """ # 创建 Beautiful Soup 对象,指定lxml解析器 soup = BeautifulSoup(html, "lxml") print(soup.select("title")) print(soup.select("b")) print(soup.select("a"))
运行结果
[<title>The Dormouse‘s story</title>] [<b>The Dormouse‘s story</b>] [<a class="sister" href="http://example.com/elsie" id="link1"><!-- Elsie --></a>, <a class="sister" href="http://example.com/lacie" id="link2">Lacie</a>, <a class="sister" href="http://example.com/tillie" id="link3">Tillie</a>]
(2)通过类名查找
#!/usr/bin/python3 # -*- conding:utf-8 -*- __author__ = ‘mayi‘ from bs4 import BeautifulSoup html = """ <html><head><title>The Dormouse‘s story</title></head> <body> <p class="title" name="dromouse"><b>The Dormouse‘s story</b></p> <p class="story">Once upon a time there were three little sisters; and their names were <a href="http://example.com/elsie" class="sister" id="link1"><!-- Elsie --></a>, <a href="http://example.com/lacie" class="sister" id="link2">Lacie</a> and <a href="http://example.com/tillie" class="sister" id="link3">Tillie</a>; and they lived at the bottom of a well.</p> <p class="story">...</p> """ # 创建 Beautiful Soup 对象,指定lxml解析器 soup = BeautifulSoup(html, "lxml") print(soup.select(".title"))
运行结果
[<p class="title" name="dromouse"><b>The Dormouse‘s story</b></p>]
(3)通过id名查找
#!/usr/bin/python3 # -*- conding:utf-8 -*- __author__ = ‘mayi‘ from bs4 import BeautifulSoup html = """ <html><head><title>The Dormouse‘s story</title></head> <body> <p class="title" name="dromouse"><b>The Dormouse‘s story</b></p> <p class="story">Once upon a time there were three little sisters; and their names were <a href="http://example.com/elsie" class="sister" id="link1"><!-- Elsie --></a>, <a href="http://example.com/lacie" class="sister" id="link2">Lacie</a> and <a href="http://example.com/tillie" class="sister" id="link3">Tillie</a>; and they lived at the bottom of a well.</p> <p class="story">...</p> """ # 创建 Beautiful Soup 对象,指定lxml解析器 soup = BeautifulSoup(html, "lxml") print(soup.select("#link1"))
运行结果
[<p class="title" name="dromouse"><b>The Dormouse‘s story</b></p>]
(4)组合查找
#!/usr/bin/python3 # -*- conding:utf-8 -*- __author__ = ‘mayi‘ from bs4 import BeautifulSoup html = """ <html><head><title>The Dormouse‘s story</title></head> <body> <p class="title" name="dromouse"><b>The Dormouse‘s story</b></p> <p class="story">Once upon a time there were three little sisters; and their names were <a href="http://example.com/elsie" class="sister" id="link1"><!-- Elsie --></a>, <a href="http://example.com/lacie" class="sister" id="link2">Lacie</a> and <a href="http://example.com/tillie" class="sister" id="link3">Tillie</a>; and they lived at the bottom of a well.</p> <p class="story">...</p> """ # 创建 Beautiful Soup 对象,指定lxml解析器 soup = BeautifulSoup(html, "lxml") print(soup.select("p #link1"))
运行结果
[<a class="sister" href="http://example.com/elsie" id="link1"><!-- Elsie --></a>]
(5)属性查找
查找时还可以加入属性元素,属性需要用中括号括起来,注意属性和标签属于同一节点,所以中间不能加空格,否则会无法匹配到。
#!/usr/bin/python3 # -*- conding:utf-8 -*- __author__ = ‘mayi‘ from bs4 import BeautifulSoup html = """ <html><head><title>The Dormouse‘s story</title></head> <body> <p class="title" name="dromouse"><b>The Dormouse‘s story</b></p> <p class="story">Once upon a time there were three little sisters; and their names were <a href="http://example.com/elsie" class="sister" id="link1"><!-- Elsie --></a>, <a href="http://example.com/lacie" class="sister" id="link2">Lacie</a> and <a href="http://example.com/tillie" class="sister" id="link3">Tillie</a>; and they lived at the bottom of a well.</p> <p class="story">...</p> """ # 创建 Beautiful Soup 对象,指定lxml解析器 soup = BeautifulSoup(html, "lxml") print(soup.select("a[class=‘sister‘]"))
运行结果
[<a class="sister" href="http://example.com/elsie" id="link1"><!-- Elsie --></a>, <a class="sister" href="http://example.com/lacie" id="link2">Lacie</a>, <a class="sister" href="http://example.com/tillie" id="link3">Tillie</a>]
同样,属性仍然可以与上述查找方式组合,不在同一节点的空格隔开,同一节点的不加空格
#!/usr/bin/python3 # -*- conding:utf-8 -*- __author__ = ‘mayi‘ from bs4 import BeautifulSoup html = """ <html><head><title>The Dormouse‘s story</title></head> <body> <p class="title" name="dromouse"><b>The Dormouse‘s story</b></p> <p class="story">Once upon a time there were three little sisters; and their names were <a href="http://example.com/elsie" class="sister" id="link1"><!-- Elsie --></a>, <a href="http://example.com/lacie" class="sister" id="link2">Lacie</a> and <a href="http://example.com/tillie" class="sister" id="link3">Tillie</a>; and they lived at the bottom of a well.</p> <p class="story">...</p> """ # 创建 Beautiful Soup 对象,指定lxml解析器 soup = BeautifulSoup(html, "lxml") print(soup.select("p a[class=‘sister‘]"))
运行结果
[<a class="sister" href="http://example.com/elsie" id="link1"><!-- Elsie --></a>, <a class="sister" href="http://example.com/lacie" id="link2">Lacie</a>, <a class="sister" href="http://example.com/tillie" id="link3">Tillie</a>]
(6)获取内容
以上的select()方法返回的结果都是列表形式,可以遍历形式输出,然后用get_text()方法来获取它的内容
#!/usr/bin/python3 # -*- conding:utf-8 -*- __author__ = ‘mayi‘ from bs4 import BeautifulSoup html = """ <html><head><title>The Dormouse‘s story</title></head> <body> <p class="title" name="dromouse"><b>The Dormouse‘s story</b></p> <p class="story">Once upon a time there were three little sisters; and their names were <a href="http://example.com/elsie" class="sister" id="link1"><!-- Elsie --></a>, <a href="http://example.com/lacie" class="sister" id="link2">Lacie</a> and <a href="http://example.com/tillie" class="sister" id="link3">Tillie</a>; and they lived at the bottom of a well.</p> <p class="story">...</p> """ # 创建 Beautiful Soup 对象,指定lxml解析器 soup = BeautifulSoup(html, "lxml") print(soup.select("p a[class=‘sister‘]")) for item in soup.select("p a[class=‘sister‘]"): print(item.get_text())
运行结果
[<a class="sister" href="http://example.com/elsie" id="link1"><!-- Elsie --></a>, <a class="sister" href="http://example.com/lacie" id="link2">Lacie</a>, <a class="sister" href="http://example.com/tillie" id="link3">Tillie</a>] Lacie Tillie
注意:<!-- Elsie -->为注释内容,未输出
