This text is from one word file; I'll be looping my code on multiple doc files. In the text above are three location; contract items; contract code; federal aid pairs. But when I use regex to create variables, only the first instance of each pair is included.
The code I have right now is:

The all_variables in the code are for looping over multiple word files - we can ignore that if we want :).
Any leads would be super helpful. Thanks so much!

I'm trying to scrape IMDB for a list of the top 1000 movies and get some details about them. However, when I run it, instead of getting the first 50 movies and going to the next page for the next 50, it repeats the loop and makes the same 50 entries 20 times in my database.
# Dataframe template

Delete 'start' variable inside 'getPageContent' function. It assigns 'start=1' every time.

Attempted Solution at bottom of post.
I have near-working code that extracts the sentence containing a phrase, across multiple lines.
However, some pages have columns. So respective outputs are incorrect; where separate texts are wrongly merged together as a bad sentence.
This problem has been addressed in the following posts:
Solution 1
Solution 2
Question:
How do I "if-condition" whether there are columns?
Pages may not have columns,
Pages may have more than 2 columns.
Pages may also have headers and footers (that can be left out).
Example .pdf with dynamic text layout: PDF (pg. 2).

# pip install PyPDF2
# pip install pdfplumber

sentence = lines[index]
print("-- sentence --", sentence)
print("len(lines)", len(lines))
# Previous lines
pre_i, flag = index, 0
while flag == 0:
pre_i -= 1
if pre_i <= 0:
break
sentence = lines[pre_i] + sentence
if '.' in lines[pre_i] or '!' in lines[pre_i] or '?' in lines[pre_i] or ' • ' in lines[pre_i]:

print("\n", sentence)
# -- Extract --
sentence = sentence.replace('!', '.')
sentence = sentence.replace('?', '.')
sentence = sentence.split('.')
sentence = [s for s in sentence if phrase in s]
print(sentence)
sentence = sentence[0].replace('\n', '').strip() # first occurance

I am trying to scrape Craigslist using BeautifulSoup4. All data shows properly EXCEPT price. I can't seem to find the right tagging to loop through pricing instead of showing the same price for each post.
import requests
from bs4 import BeautifulSoup
source = requests.get('https://washingtondc.craigslist.org/search/nva/sss?query=5%20hp%20boat%20motor&sort=rel').text
soup = BeautifulSoup(source, 'lxml')
for summary in soup.find_all('p', class_='result-info'):
pricing = soup.find('span', class_='result-price')
price = pricing
title = summary.a.text
url = summary.a['href']
print(title + '\n' + price.text + '\n' + url + '\n')
Left: HTML code from Craigslist, commented out is irrelevant (in my opinion) code. I want pricing to not loop the same number. Right: Sublime SS of code.
Snippet of code running through terminal. Pricing is the same for each post.
Thank you
Your script is almost correct. You need to change the soup object for the price to summary
import requests
from bs4 import BeautifulSoup
source = requests.get('https://washingtondc.craigslist.org/search/nva/sss?query=5%20hp%20boat%20motor&sort=rel').text
soup = BeautifulSoup(source, 'lxml')
for summary in soup.find_all('p', class_='result-info'):
price = summary.find('span', class_='result-price')
title = summary.a.text
url = summary.a['href']
print(title + '\n' + price.text + '\n' + url + '\n')

I am trying to create a webscraper for a website. The problem is that after the collected data is stored in a list, I'm not able to write this to a csv file properly. I have been stuck for ages with this problem and hopefully someone has an idea about how to fix this one!
The loop to get the data from the web pages:
import csv
from htmlrequest import simple_get
from htmlrequest import BeautifulSoup
# Define variables
listData = ['Companies', 'Locations', 'Descriptions']
plus = 15
max = 30
count = 0
# while loop to repeat process till max is reached
while (count <= max):
start = 'https://www.companiesintheuk.co.uk/find?q=Activities+of+sport+clubs&start=' + str(count) + '&s=h&t=SicCodeSearch&location=&sicCode=93120'
raw_html = simple_get(start)
soup = BeautifulSoup(raw_html, 'html.parser')
for i, div in enumerate(soup.find_all('div', class_="search_result_title")):
listData[0] = listData[0].strip() + div.text
for i, div2 in enumerate(soup.find_all('div', class_="searchAddress")):
listData[1] = listData[1].strip() + div2.text
# This is extra information
# for i, div3 in enumerate(soup.find_all('div', class_="searchSicCode")):
# listData[2] = listData[2].strip() + div3.text
count = count + plus
output example if printed:

I've tried to get it into a CSV file by using this code but I can't figure out how to properly format my output! Any suggestions are welcome.
# writing to csv
with open('test.csv', 'w') as csvfile:
write = csv.writer(csvfile, delimiter=',')
write.writerow(['Name','Location'])
write.writerow([listData[0],listData[1]])
print("Writing has been done!")
I want the code to be able to format it properly in the csv file to be able to import the two rows in a database.
This is the output when I write the data on 'test.csv'
which will result into this when opened up
The expected outcome would be something like this!
I'm not sure how it is improperly formatted, but maybe you just need to replace with open('test.csv', 'w') with with open('test.csv', 'w+', newline='')
I've combined your code (taking out htmlrequests for requests and bs4 modules and also not using listData, but instead creating my own lists. I've left your lists but they do nothing):

while count <= max:

res = requests.get(start)
soup = bs4.BeautifulSoup(res.text, 'html.parser')
for i, div in enumerate(soup.find_all('div', class_="search_result_title")):
listData[0] = listData[0].strip() + div.text

for i, div2 in enumerate(soup.find_all('div', class_="searchAddress")):

# This is extra information

if len(company_list) == len(locations_list):
with open('test.csv', 'w+', newline='') as csvfile:
writer = csv.writer(csvfile, delimiter=',')
writer.writerow(['Name', 'Location'])
for i in range(len(company_list)):
writer.writerow([company_list[i], locations_list[i]])
Which generates a csv file like:

Which seems fine to me, but your post was very unclear about how you expected it to be formatted so I really have no idea
I'm trying to scrape Autotrader's website to get an excel of the stats and names.
I'm stuck at trying to loop through an html 'ul' element without any classes or IDs and organize that info in python list to then append the individual li elements to different fields in my table.
As you can see I'm able to target the title and price elements, but the 'ul' is really tricky... Well... for someone at my skill level.
The specific code I'm struggling with:
for i in range(1, 2):
response = get('https://www.autotrader.co.uk/car-search?sort=sponsored&seller-type=private&page=' + str(i))
html_soup = BeautifulSoup(response.text, 'html.parser')
ad_containers = html_soup.find_all('h2', class_ = 'listing-title title-wrap')
price_containers = html_soup.find_all('section', class_ = 'price-column')
for container in ad_containers:
name = container.find('a', class_ ="js-click-handler listing-fpa-link").text
names.append(name)
# Trying to loop through the key specs list and assigned each 'li' to a different field in the table
lis = []
list_container = container.find('ul', class_='listing-key-specs')
for li in list_container.find('li'):
lis.append(li)
year.append(lis[0])
body_type.append(lis[1])
milage.append(lis[2])
engine.append(lis[3])
hp.append(lis[4])
transmission.append(lis[5])
petrol_type.append(lis[6])
lis = [] # Clearing dictionary to get ready for next set of data
And the error message I get is the following:
Full code here:
from requests import get
from bs4 import BeautifulSoup
import pandas
# from time import sleep, time
# import random
# Create table fields
names = []
prices = []
year = []
body_type = []
milage = []
engine = []
hp = []
transmission = []
petrol_type = []
for i in range(1, 2):
# Make a get request
response = get('https://www.autotrader.co.uk/car-search?sort=sponsored&seller-type=private&page=' + str(i))
# Pause the loop
# sleep(random.randint(4, 7))
# Create containers
html_soup = BeautifulSoup(response.text, 'html.parser')
ad_containers = html_soup.find_all('h2', class_ = 'listing-title title-wrap')
price_containers = html_soup.find_all('section', class_ = 'price-column')
for container in ad_containers:
name = container.find('a', class_ ="js-click-handler listing-fpa-link").text
names.append(name)

for li in list_container.find('li'):

year.append(lis[0])
body_type.append(lis[1])
milage.append(lis[2])
engine.append(lis[3])
hp.append(lis[4])
transmission.append(lis[5])
petrol_type.append(lis[6])
lis = [] # Clearing dictionary to get ready for next set of data
for pricteainers in price_containers:
price = pricteainers.find('div', class_ ='vehicle-price').text
prices.append(price)
test_df = pandas.DataFrame({'Title': names, 'Price': prices, 'Year': year, 'Body Type': body_type, 'Mileage': milage, 'Engine Size': engine, 'HP': hp, 'Transmission': transmission, 'Petrol Type': petrol_type})
print(test_df.info())
# test_df.to_csv('Autotrader_test.csv')
I followed the advice from David in the other answer's comment area.
Code:
from requests import get
from bs4 import BeautifulSoup
import pandas as pd
pd.set_option('display.width', 1000)
pd.set_option('display.height', 1000)
pd.set_option('display.max_rows', 500)
pd.set_option('display.max_columns', 500)
names = []
prices = []
year = []
body_type = []
milage = []
engine = []
hp = []
transmission = []
petrol_type = []
for i in range(1, 2):
response = get('https://www.autotrader.co.uk/car-search?sort=sponsored&seller-type=private&page=' + str(i))
html_soup = BeautifulSoup(response.text, 'html.parser')
outer = html_soup.find_all('article', class_='search-listing')
for inner in outer:
lis = []
names.append(inner.find_all('a', class_ ="js-click-handler listing-fpa-link")[1].text)
prices.append(inner.find('div', class_='vehicle-price').text)
for li in inner.find_all('ul', class_='listing-key-specs'):
for i in li.find_all('li')[-7:]:
lis.append(i.text)
year.append(lis[0])
body_type.append(lis[1])
milage.append(lis[2])
engine.append(lis[3])
hp.append(lis[4])
transmission.append(lis[5])
petrol_type.append(lis[6])
test_df = pd.DataFrame.from_dict({'Title': names, 'Price': prices, 'Year': year, 'Body Type': body_type, 'Mileage': milage, 'Engine Size': engine, 'HP': hp, 'Transmission': transmission, 'Petrol Type': petrol_type}, orient='index')
print(test_df.transpose())

The ul is not a child of the h2 . It's a sibling.
So you will need to make a separate selection because it's not part of the ad_containers.
