The 'text' argument is changed into 'string' in Beautiful Soup 4.4.0.
yes thank you
thank you so much, I was very lost when I got the "DepacrationWarning"
@@IanWeingardt It appears that the content might be dynamically loaded by JavaScript in amazon website, which means it might not be present in the initial HTML response
I started learning python few months ago and chose web scraping as my specialization. Your selenium playlist is fascinating. Thanks Tim
Hey how did you progress?
r u currently freelancing webscraping ?
@@AliAhmed63708 i am
@@alex59292 So where can I reach you for some webscraping freelancing.
I was puhsing learning web scraping for some time now and finally jumped in today and watched my first video on this topic. I like Tim's videos because they are simple and easy to underatsnd, so I decided to go with his video on this topc. Thank you.
Such a great tutorial! I usually don't comment but this was absolutely spectacular. Thank you so much!
Subscribed. The last 4 minutes of the video is exactly what I needed. The Soup tree structure part, specifically dissecting the price out of the HTML code. I could get the price on my own web scrap script but it also came with a bunch of other "junk" that was apart of the "tree". Thanks for pointing me in the right direction and explaining how it works!!!!!
Man I was literally looking for a good tutorial on Bs4 and guess what Tim read my mind. Thank you very much Tim :)
And I started with web scraping like 2 days ago
@@BB-si6cz Oh that's cool !
Deffo RUclips AI reading your mind maybe it was Alexa
@@Damiensgarage I was already subscribed to Tim so I got the notification :)
I'm pretty sure that Corey Schafer also has a good tutorial about beautiful soup.
Straight forward, simple explanations , easy to follow. Thanks Tim! You're a excellent teacher, keep up the great work you're doing here on youtube.
As always your tutorials are super educational and also thanks teaching it for free, it really helps.
SO I am writing some software to start a business. I am scraping 25 web pages. I hacked through the first 20. The last 5 were difficult so I tried using BS4 with this video. Using BS4 made the last 5 easier than any of the first 20. Thank you Tim!!
Great video and great timing to put it out! I had to use BeautifulSoup for the first time just last week and this was great at solidifying everything I learned!
THANK YOU, I've been waiting for you to make a tutorial on this for some time now, thanks again.
Beautiful video man! Just realised how pedagogical and well dispositioned you videos are.
your videos on web scraping motivated me to create my own video-series about this topic(s)! as always, great content! thanks for sharing your knowledge.
I'm using Anaconda, so had to use different import information. You explained this better then any video I've watched.
Tim I just started scraping with BS4 THANK YOU!
Amazing stuff man. You got yourself a new sub. Thank you for all of the content and hard work. I've been benging all of your videos like I was watching Netflix lol
Great tutorial Tim! I appreciate the clear and concise explanations you provided.
Awesome tutorial. New to this channel, but I like your style Tim. Thanks a lot, very well explained!
Many thanks. I was struggling with scraping some links from a page but couldn't until I watched this video.
Hi, l love all your videos boss.
Thank you very much.
I do not have an IT background but fell in love with your videos and started studying Software development in school right now.
This was a really useful tutorial and it was clear to understand, unlike some of the other videos I found. Thank you! I'm sure there are many people out there like me that find themselves trying to slightly improve their code, resulting in learning how to use some new massive python library like this.
Back to the video: I think it would have been good to replace the URL at the end of the video with another NewEgg listing to show the same code extracting a different price (assuming the tags are the same). Also, looks like you forgot to edit out the part at 8:24.
Finaly the best timing ever i was waiting it plz speedeun that series
The best tutorial ever! You're saving my life!
Quite a very concise course and informative. Thanks for this guide.
This serial is my need. Thank Tim!
Thank you Tim. I always wanted to learn Beautiful soup for personal projects but never did. Today is the first time I watched a tutorial on this topic. Anyway, how long will this series be? Can't wait for the next part.
god that 3080 price gave me stress of when I was hunting down my own. Great tutorial btw it's been a great help!
Thank you this video is so straightforward I think I finally got the hang of this
1 quick point to add about BS4 not installing. Sometimes being connected to a VPN can stop modules being installed. Try dropping off the VPN and running Tims install commands
ur explanations are very clear,thank for ur effort.
need this to access my uni's timetable more easily, thanks man !
Glad I could help!
Love your channel Tim, the best tutorial ever..
Congrats on your 1 million,
All the best
"Dummy html file"
The html file who is trying his best: 😿👍
Great video. Thanks to you, I'm starting a new business in the tyre industry.

Dude, I think you should do more C++ tutorials. They're really good!
I second this. Those tuts are good!
As always, this was super clear
super helpful for a project I am working on, thanks!
you should have more than "just" 1,18m subscribers. thank you Sir!
I am good in Bs4 But I just came to give you like .For your work
Thanks, this was easier than I thought
Excellent done for a first example! Amazing explained!
Web scraping is very useful trust me and of course beautifulsoup is the best library for this
exactly needed this
Anybody know why I would be getting "IndexError: list index out of range" on line 10 - "parent = prices[0].parent" at the 15:29 minute mark in the video? I've copied the whole code exactly.
make sure your url is correct
Absolutely great videos, I’m new to python and coding in general. Your content is really great and easy to follow, would this web scraping method work for finding stuff like meta data for songs ?
So useful! Thank you so much!
Is there a benefit/difference in using .string vs .text to grab the text of a tag? I always have used .text. Thanks!
Thanks Tim! :) awesome and helpful
I wanted to create a BS4 project 😀 and you made a tutorial
wooo wooo thanks TIM huge help!
Thank you so much for such valuable content
Perfect ! Thank you
Is there a way to scrape text generated by something like ReactJS with BS4? Usually it doesn't properly return that HTML even if you can see it in the inspector.
So sick thanks for the video!
8:25 It's always fun seeing bloopers mid video lol
Wonderful to be learning Beautiful Soup with Kermit
Tim you wont believe i was working on a meteo app and needed a parser thx
Keep on your beautiful contents
hey tim great work , i need to learn how to do using python columns and boxes in visual studio code thanks very much .
Interesting video, as always
How do we input the html or the website we want to scrape? Great video, thank you.
I have question I am making we scrapping with beautiful soup and selenium. I wrote everything there is just one mistake. Beautifulsoup undefined? I installed everything what can I do ?
Hey Tim, What to do for the content that is dynamic??
thx for this tutorial, tim
Really useful, cheers
Thank you very much!
Great stuff as usual! What's the schedule for the next episodes?
Thanks you a lot, you're the best.
Nice, good video, learned a lot
Hi Tim,
Can you help out for scraping pages which have CAPTCHA and also where there are contents in same tags but I want to get data from say just first tag instead of other four.
This is kinda like python loc [0]
Please help!
best guy on yt
Hi Tim, nice video, need stuff. have you any links to a tutorial of you or else someone, who has scraped websites that block scrapers?
Super cool you are so helpful
I was following along with this video and couldn't get it to work. Actually I was following along but with my public "all games" steam library page. I couldn't figure out why it wasn't work. I was losing my mind. Then I finally saw in the source this JavaScript block with formatted data for all my games. It's "DB Query" and also the JS appends the data to the DOM programmatically. So indirectly this video taught me why Beautiful Soup couldn't find the tags I kept searching for on the steam library page. Side note, anyone want to scrape their steam library for some reason (instead of using steam db or whatever) it's all there on that page as some kind of JSON.
Good video btw.
Thanks Tim
hey, just updating.
find_all(text=) is deprecated
switch to string= method instead;)
thanks, but it still doesnt work for me
Unfortunately, the code mentioned in the video at 13:15 no longer seems to work, probably because NewEgg no longer allows a Python script to download the htlm from web site pages. It seems to me that most web sites are being "bot protected" today, a problem that is specifically mentioned by Tim in the video at 11:25. This points to a very significant problem when you consider using a tool like Python to web scrape, because using standard Python code is not ever going to work.
Finally, when you do get lucky and get your Python code to web scrape, that code that works perfectly today will probably not work very long.
real, its a struggle to learn when you're trying to debug and its just privacy policies in your html files xD
I'm trying in a different website. I can get the HTML, but when I try to look for specific texts it doesn't work, I always get an empty list, even though I can see that there is that text in the page.
Same problem. Did you find a solution?
@@labscience8271 did u find one?
I have the same problem but if you noticed in the video he said that some websites may block you when you try to script their html page so maybe the is the reason why you get an empty list
@@abdulrahmanal-saadani8769 I have the same problem.. but I think that if the html can be seen in the console in the previous steps, that means the robots haven't done any blocking? I would think if you can see the data that's gameover once you learn how to manipulate it.
For me it only work if you look for the hall test in the element. For ejemaple The full text" will not work for "full" or "The full". It only work if you search "The full test". You can test it with a local HTML file. Is not the web filtering it.
USEFUL !
Nice, thank you ^^
Hey Tim, can you make a video on how to get a programming job? 👋
8:26 Oh nooo,... you're in the matrix. You glitched!!!
Top tutorial!!!
Hearty thanks
thanks Tim! :D
btw what's the difference between all the different ways to install? using pip vs pip3 vs adding the python etc.?? Trying to understand the terminal
Hei I'm working with VS Code studio. If I'm trying to print(doc) and run the program it just shows me that it was successful. The doc itself doesn't get printed. Does anybody know what to do? Do I have to install some kind of extension in VS Code Studio?
outstanding walkthru, as usual, ty... I like the chapter divisions, concise talking, maximized screen, text size :)
Hello Tim, I was wondering I tried this script with microcenter. When I get to the tag where the price is on, I tried to print the tag.string it returns "None" ?????. but when I use tag.text it returns the price Why is that?
What IDE / Editor do you use here and in your videos?
How come doing 'parent' on the $ sign returned so many layers of tags? Why was it not just the tags directly surrounding?
nice editing job and content ofc thx
Does this series teach you basically what you need to know or is it only just bare basics?
great video , hit a bunch of roadblocks with the imports and environment %PATH% changes i had to make, and then the openssl issue, but yeah took me a day to get thru this and finish, i appreciate the hardwork.
Glad that you finally solved your problem! Me too, had a hard time with the %PATH% thingy!@$$. Time to time %PATH% problem appears from no where and eats up lots of my time. I have worked a little with R and I found it relatively simple and easy in this aspect, package installation and management etc...
@@unpatel1 another workaround is to use pycharm
@@andrews9168 Thank you for your suggestion. I do have pycharm but not using it, just use VS Code all the time. I will definitely try pycharm.
What if the html page has invisible element and you need to click on element and then it can be visible and parsed?
In selenium you have to click on the element
With beautiful soup can you get this element even if it invisible?
Superb...🤩
8:23 did you forget to edit 😂😂
love your videos BTW ❤️
Which dev environment are you using for this?
thanks tim!
