HTML

Mix van ongestructureerde en gestructureerde data
Gestructureerde data:
- Heeft een vooraf gedefinieerd datamodel, of
- Is georganiseerd op een vaste manier
Ongestructureerde data: geen van beide

BeautifulSoup

Parse en haal gestructureerde data uit HTML

Maak tag-soep overzichtelijk en extraheer info

BeautifulSoup

from bs4 import BeautifulSoup
import requests
url = 'https://www.crummy.com/software/BeautifulSoup/'
r = requests.get(url)
html_doc = r.text
soup = BeautifulSoup(html_doc)

Prettified Soup

print(soup.prettify())

<!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.0 Transitional//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/REC-html40/transitional.dtd">
<html>
 <head>
  <meta content="text/html; charset=utf-8" http-equiv="Content-Type"/>

BeautifulSoup verkennen

Veel methoden, zoals:

print(soup.title)

<title>Beautiful Soup: We called him Tortoise because he taught us.</title>

print(soup.get_text())

Beautiful Soup: We called him Tortoise because he taught us.
You didn't write that awful page. You're just trying to
get some data out of it. Beautiful Soup is here to 
help. Since 2004, it's been saving programmers hours or
days of work on quick-turnaround screen scraping 
projects.

BeautifulSoup verkennen

find_all()

for link in soup.find_all('a'):
    print(link.get('href'))
