WEB scraping


  • LXML - Simple XML Parsing
  • Requests - HTTP For Humans
  • Beautiful Soup - Dead simple HTML Parsing
>>> import requests 
>>> from bs4 import BeautifulSoup as BS
>>>
>>> result = requests.get("http://oreilly.com/store/samplers.html")
>>> assert result.status_code == 200, "request did not pan out!"
>>>
>>> soup = BS(result.content) 
>>>
>>> samples = soup.find_all("a", "item-title")

>>> samples[0].contents[0]
u'\nBuilding Web Apps with Ember.js\n'
>>>
>>> print("rejoice!")
