How to get data by id using beautifull soup library

step 1 first install libraries

pip install bs4

step 2 import libraries

from bs4 import BeautifulSoup
import requests
Enter fullscreen mode Exit fullscreen mode

Parse the HTML content of a webpage:

# You can replace this with your own HTML content or a URL
html_content = """
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<head>
    <title>Example Page</title>
</head>
<body>
    <div id="my_div">
        <h1>Hello, World!</h1>
        <p>This is an example div.</p>
    </div>
</body>
</html>
"""

# Parse the HTML content
soup = BeautifulSoup(html_content, 'html.parser')
Enter fullscreen mode Exit fullscreen mode

Use Beautiful Soup to find the element with the specific id

# Find the element with id 'my_div'
my_div = soup.find(id='my_div')

# Extract the text or other data from the element
if my_div:
    text = my_div.get_text()
    print(text)
else:
    print("Element with id 'my_div' not found.")
Enter fullscreen mode Exit fullscreen mode

get data using all id of multiple div in with help og beautifull soup library

Install Beautiful Soup (if not already installed) using pip:

pip install beautifulsoup4
Enter fullscreen mode Exit fullscreen mode

Import the necessary libraries:

from bs4 import BeautifulSoup
Enter fullscreen mode Exit fullscreen mode

Parse the HTML content of a webpage:

# You can replace this with your own HTML content or a URL
html_content = """
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<head>
    <title>Example Page</title>
</head>
<body>
    <div id="div1">
        <h1>Div 1</h1>
        <p>This is the content of div 1.</p>
    </div>
    <div id="div2">
        <h1>Div 2</h1>
        <p>This is the content of div 2.</p>
    </div>
    <div id="div3">
        <h1>Div 3</h1>
        <p>This is the content of div 3.</p>
    </div>
</body>
</html>
"""

# Parse the HTML content
soup = BeautifulSoup(html_content, 'html.parser')
Enter fullscreen mode Exit fullscreen mode

Use Beautiful Soup to find all elements with a specific id:

# Find all elements with id attribute starting with 'div'
div_elements = soup.find_all(id=lambda x: x and x.startswith('div'))

# Extract and print the text from each matched element
for div in div_elements:
    text = div.get_text()
    print(text)
Enter fullscreen mode Exit fullscreen mode

In this example, we've created an HTML content string and parsed it using Beautiful Soup. We then used the find_all method with a custom function to find all elements with an id attribute starting with "div." This will match all div elements with id values like "div1," "div2," and "div3." We then extracted and printed the text content of each matched element.

get anchor tag url,text,h1 tag data and span tag text using all id of multiple div in with help of beautifull soup library

Install Beautiful Soup (if not already installed) using pip:

pip install beautifulsoup4

Import the necessary libraries:

        <p>This is the content of div 1.</p>
        <a href="https://example.com/div1">Link to Div 1</a>
        <span>Span 1</span>
    </div>
    <div id="div2">
        <h1>Div 2</h1>
        <p>This is the content of div 2.</p>
        <a href="https://example.com/div2">Link to Div 2</a>
        <span>Span 2</span>
    </div>
    <div id="div3">
        <h1>Div 3</h1>
        <p>This is the content of div 3.</p>
        <a href="https://example.com/div3">Link to Div 3</a>
        <span>Span 3</span>
    </div>
</body>
</html>

# Parse the HTML content
soup = BeautifulSoup(html_content, 'html.parser')
Enter fullscreen mode Exit fullscreen mode

Use Beautiful Soup to find all elements with specific id attributes and extract the desired data:

# Find all div elements with id attributes
div_elements = soup.find_all('div', id=True)

# Iterate through the matched div elements
for div in div_elements:
    div_id = div['id']  # Get the ID of the div
    h1_text = div.find('h1').get_text()  # Get text from the h1 tag within the div
    span_text = div.find('span').get_text()  # Get text from the span tag within the div
    anchor = div.find('a')  # Find the anchor (a) tag within the div

    if anchor:
        anchor_url = anchor['href']  # Get the URL from the anchor tag
    else:
        anchor_url = None

    # Print the extracted data
    print(f"ID: {div_id}")
    print(f"H1 Text: {h1_text}")
    print(f"Span Text: {span_text}")
    print(f"Anchor URL: {anchor_url}")
    print()

In this code, we first find all

elements with id attributes and then iterate through each of them. For each element, we extract the id attribute, text within the

tag, text within the tag, and the URL from the anchor tag (if it exists). We then print the extracted data for each element.
