How would I go about getting the value under the tag declination units? I'm looking to return the '-6.43798' using BeautifulSoup4 in python.
<html><body><maggridresult>
<version>
0.5.0.7
</version>
<result>
<date>
2017.07671
</date>
<latitude units="degree">
42.26042
</latitude>
<longitude units="degree">
-84.46044
</longitude>
<elevation units="km">
0.00000
</elevation>
<declination units="degree">
-6.43798
</declination>
<declination_sv units="degree">
-0.03752
</declination_sv>
<declination_uncertainty units="degree">
0.37303
</declination_uncertainty>
</result>
</maggridresult>
</body></html>
I think it has to do with the find or find all function but I'm not sure how in specific to implement it.
Thanks!
import bs4
html = """your html"""
soup = bs4.BeautifulSoup(html, 'lxml')
soup.find('declination').get_text(strip=True) # strip white-space
out:
'-6.43798'
find use tag name and tag attribute as filter.
