Literally the best BeautifulSoup tutorial i found on internet. You are in forever subscribed list. Thank you very much :D

[joshthurston]

why didnt you ever show the first 7 lines of your code? Would be nice to know what you import...

[jackbird]

great BeautifulSoup tutorial, thanks. before it as a non-tech user,
I can tell that I am using to image download from url via e-scraper
maybe it helps to somebody too

[migarsormrapophis]

Very nice. May I ask, how would you get the images from a website like DeviantArt or Google Images where the images displayed on the web page are just low-res stand ins for the real image? How could you scrape the high quality images off a web page?

oh my fucking god finnaly, thank you so much man its been hours i spent looking for this ^^

[ivange]

how do you give it a file path instead of defaulting it to the PycharmProjects folder?

[DanielWeikert]

At first thanks for the Video. Like it. I got 2 Problems. What if my pictures contain special characters like ? or : because I got an Error Message here. Second, the pictures are unfortunately in poor Quality. Is there a way to extract them in better quality? Thanks

Hi, iv tried this for multiple different website and it all runs fine, however, once the if else statement is added, when I then try to print out "image' it only prints out a single link, (it prints them all out prior to assigning 'temp' to img.get('src'). I have no idea why this is?

[shaharweksler]

hii thanks a lot i tried your script today and it works
however, the images are smaller than they would be if i right click an image and simply save it to disc.
how do i preserve the quality?
tnx

[apsrajput]

thank you for providing the tuts, i got a problem its like the website url I'm trying to access is providing only default img file. what to do in that case

[mikebrown]

Thanks a lot for this. Please make more Python tutorials.

For some reason I can only download 1 image per run or sometimes I get an error: " if len(nametemp)==0:
TypeError: object of type 'NoneType' has no len()" But very nice guide nevertheless!

[nuniezjorge]

I want to download an image, i don't want to save it on disk, what i want to do is show it in python, exceptions are going to occur, how do i handle those exceptions?, i'm a newbie

How to scrape through links which are not .htm or .HTML ?

[jimcho]

just begin learning python, Great tutorial. BTW your accent is just similar to Harvey Spector in Suits(a tv show), may i know if it's a spectific accent?

[rsmcompilations]

I am familiar with BeautifulSoup and urllib2 to scrape data from a webpage. However, what if a parameter needs to be entered into the page before the result that I want to scrape is returned?


I want to be able to go to the page, enter two addresses, click "Show", and then extract the "Distance as the Crow Flies" and "Distance by Land Transport" values and save them to a dictionary.

Is there any way to input data into a webpage using Python?

[havelcode]

Are you able to help, please?
On line 28 (*imagefile = open(filename ....)*)

I'm getting an error that no file or directory exists, it is not dynamically creating the files like your script is, instead it is looking for a file called (the link).

Do you know why your script is creating the files, rather than looking for existing ones like my one is?

It says installed but doesn't find anything to import from.. i just need the first 8 lines which are not shown in the video..

I keep getting this error: "NameError: name 'make_soup' is not defined" make_soup isn't defined. Sorry, I'm a really new beginner to python. Anyone have an idea how to solve this?
