I would like to scrape a list of items from a website, and preserve the order that they are presented in. These items are organized in a table, but they can be one of two different classes (in random order).
Is there any way to provide multiple classes and have BeautifulSoup4 find all items which are in any of the given classes?
I need to achieve what this code does, except preserve the order of items as it was in the source code:
items = soup.findAll(True,{'class':'class1'}) items += soup.findAll(True,{'class':'class2'})

find_all is used for returning all the matches after scanning the entire document. It is used for getting merely the first tag of the incoming HTML object for which condition is satisfied. It is used for getting all the incoming HTML objects for which condition is satisfied. The return type of find is <class 'bs4.
To get href with Python BeautifulSoup, we can use the find_all method. to create soup object with BeautifulSoup class called with the html string. Then we find the a elements with the href attribute returned by calling find_all with 'a' and href set to True .
you can do this
soup.findAll(True, {'class':['class1', 'class2']}) example:
>>> from bs4 import BeautifulSoup >>> soup = BeautifulSoup('<html><body><div class="class1"></div><div class="class2"></div><div class="class3"></div></body></html>') >>> soup.findAll(True, {"class":["class1", "class2"]}) [<div class="class1"></div>, <div class="class2"></div>] I am new to Python with BeautifulSoup but may be my answer help you. I came across the same situation where I have to find multiple classes of one tag so, I just pass the classes into an array and it works for me. Here is the code snippet
# Search with single Class find_all("tr", {"class":"abc"}) # Search with multiple classes find_all("tr", {"class": ["abc", "xyz"]}) If you love us? You can donate to us via Paypal or buy me a coffee so we can maintain and grow! Thank you!
