Scraping Numbers from HTML using BeautifulSoup. The program will use urllib to read the HTML from the data files below, and parse the data, extracting numbers and compute the sum of the numbers in the file.

#Actual data: http://py4e-data.dr-chuck.net/comments_24964.html (Sum ends with 73) | |
from urllib import request | |
from bs4 import BeautifulSoup | |
html=request.urlopen('http://python-data.dr-chuck.net/comments_24964.html').read() | |
soup = BeautifulSoup(html) | |
tags=soup('span') | |
sum=0 | |
for tag in tags: | |
sum=sum+int(tag.contents[0]) | |
print(sum) |
Here is the way how you guys can solve this : Working code below 👍 READ ME "":: Copy the actual Data url and run the file from the cmd/terminal and then paste the in terminal or CMD like so
#! /bin/python3 from urllib.request import urlopen from bs4 import BeautifulSoup import ssl
ctx = ssl.create_default_context() ctx.check_hostname = False ctx.verify_mode = ssl.CERT_NONE
leave the url empty for now. Paste the url after running the file in cmd or terminal.
url = input("") html = urlopen(url, context=ctx).read() soup = BeautifulSoup(html, "html.parser")
spans = soup('span') numbers = []
for span in spans: numbers.append(int(span.string))
print (sum(numbers))
