            Web scraping with cheerio not working with some elements
            Asked 2021-Nov-30 at 04:10

            I just started learning about web scraping and I found this tutorial: https://www.mundojs.com.br/2020/05/25/criando-um-web-scraper-com-nodejs/

            It works fine, however I'm trying to get different elements from the same webpage: https://ge.globo.com/futebol/brasileirao-serie-a/

            With the group of classes of the tutorial it brings all the elements with the selected class, but with other classes it doesn't work:

            As can be seen all fifty elements with the class ranking-item-wrapper are returned, but if I select elements with the class lista-jogos__jogo it doesn't return anything:

            I don't get why I'm getting this error, since I'm doing exectly the same thing as it is done in the tutorial.

            It looks like those elements are being added with JavaScript when the page is loaded.

            If you inspect the page in your browser with JavaScript disabled you can see that those elements don't exist, so they also wont exist when you pull down the page with Cheerio.

            How to scrape EXACT information from a crypto website
            Asked 2021-Sep-06 at 13:04

            I've been working on a web-scraper to scrape the CoinEx website so I can have the live trades of Bitcoin in my program. I scraped this link and I was expecting to get all the information related to the class_="ticker-item" but the return was "--". I think it's something with the scraping policy but is there a way I can bypass this. Like to mimic whatever a regular browser has. I also tried using headers but the result was the same. My Code :

            ANSWER

            Answered 2021-Jul-24 at 10:04

            It seems the problem is that the html you see when viewing the page in the browser is not the same html that BeautifulSoup receives. The reason is probably that the ticker-items are called using javascript, which is something the browser does for you, but BeautifulSoup does not.

            If you want to get the data, you are probably best of by finding their api if they have one. Otherwise, you can look at the webpage using inspect, and look at the network tab. Here you can find where the website is pulling data from. It will be some digging, but somewhere in there you should be able to find another link, which is where the website gets the data from. You can then use that link instead. The data will probably be easier to extract that way as well.

            If you want a quick and dirty method you can use the requests-html module. This renders the webpage for you, including all the scripts because it uses a webbrowser under the hood. Therefore the output will be the same html you would see if you opened the website in a browser, and your extraction method should work there. Of course this has a lot of overhead, because it spawns webbrowser processes, but it can be useful in some circumstances.

            Python recursive Function returns extra 'None' once complete
            Asked 2021-Aug-23 at 23:27

            I am working to write a web-scraper for a school project which catalogs all valid URLs found on the page, and can follow a URL to the next webpage and perform the same action; up to a set number of layers.

            quick code intent:

            1. function takes a BeautifulSoup type, a url (to indicate where it started), the layer count, and the maximum layer depth
            2. check page for all href lines
            3. append to list of 'results' is populated each time an href tag is found containing a valid url (starts with http, https, HTTP, HTTPS; which I know may not be the perfect way to check but for now its what I am working with)
            4. the layer is incremented by 1 each time a valid URL is found the recursiveLinkSearch() function called again
            5. when layer count is reached, or no href's remain, return results list

            I am very out of practice with recursion, and am hitting an issue with python adding a 'None' to the list "results" at the end of the recursion.

            This link [https://stackoverflow.com/questions/61691657/python-recursive-function-returns-none] indicates that it may be where I am exiting my function from. I am also not sure I have recursion operating properly because of the nested for loop.

            Any help or insight on recursion exit strategy is greatly appreciated.

            Answered 2021-Aug-23 at 23:27

            This is not a recursion problem. In the end, if results != []: you print something and return results. Else your function just ends and returns nothing. But in python, if your append the value of function that returned nothing - you get None. So when your result is left empty - you are getting None.

            You can either check what you are appending or pop() if you got None after appending.

            A quick search on the URL you're scraping shows there are job posts that don't have a salary, so, when you get the data from that HTML element and initialize a new Job object, the salary is an empty string, and knowing that "".split(/[^\d]/)[1..2] returns nil, that's the error you get.

            You must add a way to handle job posts without a salary:

            Python Web-Scraper using BeautifulSoup - Find the right html line for the information im looking for
            Asked 2021-May-30 at 13:46

            I just switched from C to Python and to get some practice I want to code a simple web-scraper for price comparison. It works so far that the program goes to every website I tell it to, and it gives me the information of the website back as html. But when I try to tell BeautifulSoup to just find the prices, the output is 'None'. So I think that the html address, I am passing to BeautifulSoup as the price information is wrong.

            I would be really grateful if anyone could help me with that problem or just has some tips and tricks for a beginner! I will add my python code and the link to the website since it looks kinda messy if I put the html code here, just tell me if you need anything more. Thank you!
