Parsing a string in pandas where there isn't a delimiter - python

I've just parsed a web page via pandas:
r = requests.post("https://www.eigroup.co.uk/clients/auctions/fulldetails.aspx?auctionid=17999 ", params=payload)
parsed_page = pd.read_html(r.text, attrs={"class": "table-search-result"})
(an example of the HTML being parsed)

The problem is, I want to be able to extract the description, guide price etc, but there aren't any delimiters and the number of characters afterwards is variable. Am I missing a keyword when I'm parsing?
How can I then split them into new columns?

Using beautifulSoup as I recommended in an answer to your last question, you can split the text and make a dict :
from bs4 import BeautifulSoup
soup = BeautifulSoup(html)
s = soup.find_all("p")
details = (ele.text.strip().split("\n") for ele in s)
d = {}
for det in details:
if len(det) == 2:
d[det[0].strip()] = det[1].strip()
{u'Vendor': u'Housing Association', u'Description': u'Leasehold 2nd Floor Studio Flat Unmodernised Vacant', u'Auction Date': u'28 October 2014', u'Auctioneer': u'Savills (London - National)', u'Lot Number': u'2', u'Guide Price': u'\xc2\u0141450,000 Plus', u'Lease Details': u'125 Yr, commencing 01/01/2013 (GR.\xc2\u0141250.PA)'}

From this table I want to extract the paragraph and from there I want to get all the span tags in that paragraph.
I used soup.find_all() to get the table but I don't know how to use this function iteratively to pass it back to the original soup object so that I could find the paragraph and, moreover the span tags in that paragraph.
This is the code Python code I wrote:
soup = BeautifulSoup(string, 'html.parser')
#Getting the table tag
results = soup.find_all('table', attrs={'class':'nested4'})
#Getting the paragragh tag
results = soup.find_all('p', attrs={'style':'margin: 0; text-align: left; padding-left: 5px'})
#Getting all the span tags
results = soup.find_all('span', attrs={})
I just want help on how to get the paragraphs within the table. And then how to get the spans within the paragraph as I am getting the spans in all of the original HTML code. I don't know how to pass the bs4 object list back to the soup object to use soup.find_all iteratively.
from bs4 import BeautifulSoup
html = '''
<table class="nested4">
<tr>
<td colspan="1"></td>
<td colspan="2">

'''
soup = BeautifulSoup(html, 'html.parser')
spans = soup.select_one('table.nested4').select('span')
for span in spans:
print(span.text)
This returns:

if you have one table:
soup = BeautifulSoup(string, 'html.parser')
table = soup.find('table', attrs={'class': 'nested4'})
p = table.find('p', attrs={'style': 'margin: 0; text-align: left; padding-left: 5px'})
results = p.find_all('span')
for result in results:
print(result.get_text(strip=True))
if you have list of tables:
soup = BeautifulSoup(string, 'html.parser')
for table in soup.find_all('table', attrs={'class': 'nested4'}):
for p in table.find_all('p', attrs={'style': 'margin: 0; text-align: left; padding-left: 5px'}):
for span in p.find_all('span'):
print(span.get_text(strip=True))

how to get values from nested tables using beautifulsoup

I need to get the name and the price of each row in the sample html below, however when I'm using beatifulsoup to find_all('tr') it returns all the tr of the main table and the nested tables. what is the best way for extracting only the value and the price of each row?
soup = BeautifulSoup(f, 'html.parser')
priceTable = soup.find('table', attrs={"class":"table table-hover table-responsive"})
Above is what I have and it returns "all" the tr including the nested tables.
What I need is to get all the names and the price of each item in front of it, and finally save them in a csv file
<table class="table table-hover table-responsive">

so the output should be:
from td[3] and td[4] in first row:

$179.71
and then the next row:
Powershop Saver
$183.40
and so on until the last row ( of the main table).
Similar process to that given in comments but different selectors
from bs4 import BeautifulSoup as bs
html = '''yourhtml'''
soup = bs(html, 'lxml')
names = [item.text for item in soup.select('.table h4 ')]
prices = [item.text for item in soup.select('[colspan="2"] > .total')]
results = list(zip(names, prices))
print(results)
I actually managed to solve this with using regex. I like the approach in the above answer much better specially using zip(), but I though pasting my solution here in case it becomes handy to some other readers.
deals=[]
prices=[]
results={}
with open("prices.html", "r") as f:
soup = BeautifulSoup(f, 'html.parser')
priceTable = soup.find('table', attrs={"class":"table table-hover table-responsive"})
tbody = priceTable.find('tbody')
pplanPattern = '<td\ colspan="3"><h4>([^<]+)<\/h4><\/td>'
pricePatterns = '<h3 class="total">([^<]+)<\/h3>'
for rw in tbody:
plan = re.search(pplanPattern, rw)
price = re.search(pricePatterns, rw)
if plan:
deals.append(plan.group(1))
if price:
deals.append(price.group(1))
results[plan.group(1)] = price.group(1)

Python Looping and Web Scraping | BeautifulSoup

Currently trying to loop the following web scraping...
My current problem is that I can only get the first footballer from the table (I have the table HTML down below) and not the full 10 players, my immediate thoughts are that the loop isn't working and I'm unsure where I'm going wrong. I'm using the BeautifulSoup Method of gathering the data.

The webpage you specified, loads data via XMLHttpRequest
You can grab the html directly from:
https://www.fctables.com/xml/table_participant/?template_id=&season_id=52%2C38%2C88&type_home=overall&type=top_score&lang_id=2&team_id=194901&limit=10
Through the above url, you can get all the information you need without the extra html noise, i.e.:
my_url = "https://www.fctables.com/xml/table_participant/?template_id=&season_id=52%2C38%2C88&type_home=overall&type=top_score&lang_id=2&team_id=194901&limit=10"
uClient = uReq(my_url)
page_html = uClient.read()
uClient.close()
page_soup = soup(page_html, "html.parser")
_names = page_soup.findAll("img",{"class":"img-circle"})
_goals = page_soup.findAll("span",{"class":"goal_p"})
_avg = page_soup.findAll("div",{"class":"label label-primary"})
x = 0
for name in _names:
name = name['alt']
avg = _avg[x].get_text()
goals = _goals[x].get_text()
print(name, avg, goals)
x+=1
Benik Afobe 0.4 6
Thomas Ince 0.6 5
Saido Berahino 0.3 4
Joe Allen 0.4 3
Erik Pieters 0.4 3
Peter Crouch 0.3 2
Bojan Krkic 0.4 2
James McClean 0.1 1
Sam Clucas 0.3 1
Bruno Martins Indi 0.2 1
Note:
Adjust the url values as needed, you can change top_score, type, team_id, limit, etc...
Keeping the url as it is, you can try the following to fetch the required results:
import requests
from bs4 import BeautifulSoup
url = "https://www.fctables.com/teams/stoke-194901/"
res = requests.get(url)
soup = BeautifulSoup(res.text,"html.parser")
for items in soup.select(".top_scores tbody tr"):
name = items.select_one("td a[href^='/players/']").get("title")
goal = items.select_one("td .goal_p").text
avrg = items.select_one("td .label-primary").text
print(name, goal, avrg)
Output you should get:
Benik Afobe 6 0.4
Thomas Ince 5 0.6
Saido Berahino 4 0.3
Joe Allen 3 0.4
Erik Pieters 3 0.4
Peter Crouch 2 0.3
Bojan Krkic 2 0.4
James McClean 1 0.1
Sam Clucas 1 0.3
Bruno Martins Indi 1 0.2

For loop with Beautiful Soup throwing error

I have created this for loop to find td items that start with 'td_threadtitle':
for item in posts:
hello = item.find("td", {"id": lambda L: L and L.startswith('td_threadtitle')})
print(hello)
But I get this error:
hello = item.find("td", {"id": lambda L: L and L.startswith('td_threadtitle')})
TypeError: slice indices must be integers or None or have an __index__ method
When I change the variable hello to this:
hello = item.find("td") , it works perfectly fine. Why does it throw that error when I try to specify the id?
EDIT:
This is how I created posts:
tableWithPosts = soup.find("body").find("div", attrs = {"align": "center"}).find("div", {"class" : "page"}).find("div", attrs = {"style" : "padding:0px 0px 0px 0px"}).find("center").find("form").find("table", {"id": "threadslist"})
posts = tableWithPosts.find("tbody", {"id": "threadbits_forum_75"}

Remove your for loop, try with this:
hello = posts.find_all("td", {"id": lambda L: L and L.startswith('td_threadtitle')})
hello
It will find all td items that start with 'td_threadtitle'
hello will be a list which contains all td(objects <class 'bs4.element.Tag'> ) start with 'td_threadtitle', you can still access their div.

Use beautifulsoup for pick complete-set of data with specfic criteria id

Can I filter-out all no data in id="time_xxxxxx" and id="odds_3_xxxxxx" from all tags which contain in <tr id="tr_xxxxxx">, and just display all has data in id="time_xxxxxx" and id="odds_3_xxxxxx"?
from this HTML code have one <tr> tag which contains id="tr_xxxxxxx
<tr> </tr>
in this tag contain two set of data
<td id="odds_3_xxxxxxx"></td>
<div id="time_xxxxx"> </div>
but I just want to get the tag which has completed set of the data which just first set of id="odds_3_xxxxxx" was ok.
In this html table, the data pattern are following:
first set (data complete-set)
second set (no time data)
third set (just has time data)
HTML:
<tr style="display: none;" id="tr_976952" index="0" align="center" bgcolor="#F7F3F7" height="15">

Code: (for my code will display all data, but I just need to complete-set of data, if the data are not in complete-set, I don't want to display)
rows = table.findAll("tr", {"id" : re.compile('tr_*\d')})
cols = soup.find_all(["div", "td"], id=re.compile('^(odds_3|time)_\d+$'))
data = [t.strip()
for tag in cols
for t in tag.find_all(text=True) if t.strip()]
print '; '.join(data)
Output:
42; 0.94 ; 2.5/3 ; 0.86
0.88 ; 1.5 ; 0.86
50
Expected Output:
42; 0.94 ; 2.5/3 ; 0.86
Why don't you just filter what gets printed like this:
if len(data) == 4:
print '; '.join(data)
