Python HTML scraping

和自甴很熟 提交于 2019-12-21 05:48:19
问题 It's not really scraping, I'm just trying to find the URLs in a web page where the class has a specific value. For example: <a class="myClass" href="/url/7df028f508c4685ddf65987a0bd6f22e"> I want to get the href value. Any ideas on how to do this? Maybe regex? Could you post some example code? I'm guessing html scraping libs, such as BeautifulSoup, are a bit of overkill just for this... Huge thanks! 回答1: Regex is usally a bad idea, try using BeautifulSoup Quick example: html = #get html soup

Scrape HTML tables from a given URL into CSV

六眼飞鱼酱① 提交于 2019-12-21 05:18:09
问题 I seek a tool that can be run on the command line like so: tablescrape 'http://someURL.foo.com' [n] If n is not specified and there's more than one HTML table on the page, it should summarize them (header row, total number of rows) in a numbered list. If n is specified or if there's only one table, it should parse the table and spit it to stdout as CSV or TSV. Potential additional features: To be really fancy you could parse a table within a table, but for my purposes -- fetching data from

Screen scraping pages that use CSS for layout and formatting…how to scrape the CSS applicable to the html?

一笑奈何 提交于 2019-12-21 04:39:24
问题 I am working on an app for doing screen scraping of small portions of external web pages (not an entire page, just a small subset of it). So I have the code working perfectly for scraping the html, but my problem is that I want to scrape not just the raw html, but also the CSS styles used to format the section of the page I am extracting, so I can display on a new page with it's original formatting intact. If you are familiar with firebug, it is able to display which CSS styles are applicable

How can I Programmatically perform a search without using an API?

半腔热情 提交于 2019-12-21 04:28:16
问题 I would like to create a program that will enter a string into the text box on a site like Google (without using their public API) and then submit the form and grab the results. Is this possible? Grabbing the results will require the use of HTML scraping I would assume, but how would I enter data into the text field and submit the form? Would I be forced to use a public API? Is something like this just not feasible? Would I have to figure out query strings/parameters? Thanks 回答1: Theory What

问题 Closed. This question is off-topic. It is not currently accepting answers. Want to improve this question? Update the question so it's on-topic for Stack Overflow. Closed 4 years ago . I'm interested in public facing sites (nothing behind a login / authentication) that have things like: High use of internal 301 and 302 redirects Anti-scraping measures (but not banning crawlers via robots.txt) Non-semantic, or invalid mark-up Content loaded via AJAX in the form of onclicks or infinite scrolling

Reading and posting to web pages using C#

萝らか妹 提交于 2019-12-21 03:15:15
问题 I have a project at work the requires me to be able to enter information into a web page, read the next page I get redirected to and then take further action. A simplified real-world example would be something like going to google.com, entering "Coding tricks" as search criteria, and reading the resulting page. Small coding examples like the ones linked to at http://www.csharp-station.com/HowTo/HttpWebFetch.aspx tell how to read a web page, but not how to interact with it by submitting

Scraping javascript website

问题 I'm able to scrape data off of basic html pages, but I'm having trouble scraping off the site below. It looks like the data is presented via javascript, and I'm not sure how to approach that issue. I'd prefer to use R to scrape, if possible, but could also use Python. Any ideas/suggestions? Edit: I need to grab the Year/Manufacturer/Model, the S/N, the Price, the Location, and the short description (starts with "Auction:") for each listing. http://www.machinerytrader.com/list/list.aspx?bcatid
