Module needed:
- bs4: Beautiful Soup(bs4) is a Python library for pulling data out of HTML and XML files. This module does not come built-in with Python. To install this type the below command in the terminal.
pip install bs4
- Requests: Request allows you to send HTTP/1.1 requests extremely easily. This module also does not come built-in with Python. To install this type the below command in the terminal.
pip install requests
Approach:
- Import module
- Create a URL get function
- Now merge the information into URL and pass the URL into the getdata() function and Convert that data into HTML code.
- Now find the required tag from the HTML code and traverse the result
Implementation:
Python3
