BeautifulSoup: extract text from anchor tag

Question

I want to extract:

• text from following src of the image tag and
• text of the anchor tag which is inside the div class data

Answer 1

I would suggest going the lxml route and using xpath.

from lxml import etree
# data is the variable containing the html
data = etree.HTML(data)
anchor = data.xpath('//a[@class="title"]/text()')
