@Recklessness97 11 месяцев назад

Subscribed. The last 4 minutes of the video is exactly what I needed. The Soup tree structure part, specifically dissecting the price out of the HTML code. I could get the price on my own web scrap script but it also came with a bunch of other "junk" that was apart of the "tree". Thanks for pointing me in the right direction and explaining how it works!!!!!

This was a really useful tutorial and it was clear to understand, unlike some of the other videos I found. Thank you! I'm sure there are many people out there like me that find themselves trying to slightly improve their code, resulting in learning how to use some new massive python library like this. Back to the video: I think it would have been good to replace the URL at the end of the video with another NewEgg listing to show the same code extracting a different price (assuming the tags are the same). Also, looks like you forgot to edit out the part at 8:24.

Absolutely great videos, I’m new to python and coding in general. Your content is really great and easy to follow, would this web scraping method work for finding stuff like meta data for songs ?

@garybenhart 8 месяцев назад

Unfortunately, the code mentioned in the video at 13:15 no longer seems to work, probably because NewEgg no longer allows a Python script to download the htlm from web site pages. It seems to me that most web sites are being "bot protected" today, a problem that is specifically mentioned by Tim in the video at 11:25. This points to a very significant problem when you consider using a tool like Python to web scrape, because using standard Python code is not ever going to work. Finally, when you do get lucky and get your Python code to web scrape, that code that works perfectly today will probably not work very long.

@tildesarecool7782 2 года назад

I was following along with this video and couldn't get it to work. Actually I was following along but with my public "all games" steam library page. I couldn't figure out why it wasn't work. I was losing my mind. Then I finally saw in the source this JavaScript block with formatted data for all my games. It's "DB Query" and also the JS appends the data to the DOM programmatically. So indirectly this video taught me why Beautiful Soup couldn't find the tags I kept searching for on the steam library page. Side note, anyone want to scrape their steam library for some reason (instead of using steam db or whatever) it's all there on that page as some kind of JSON. Good video btw.

@DauvO Год назад

@@abdulrahmanal-saadani8769 I have the same problem.. but I think that if the html can be seen in the console in the previous steps, that means the robots haven't done any blocking? I would think if you can see the data that's gameover once you learn how to manipulate it.

@AnibalDellagiovanna 11 месяцев назад

For me it only work if you look for the hall test in the element. For ejemaple The full text" will not work for "full" or "The full". It only work if you search "The full test". You can test it with a local HTML file. Is not the web filtering it.
