使用Python-BeautifulSoup收集表格数据

Question

Can't figure out how to scrape the first table data instead of both.

<tr>
<td>WheelDust
</td>
<td>A large puff of barely visible brown dust
</td></tr>

I only want WheelDust but instead I get WheelDust and A large puff of barely visible brown dust

import requests
from bs4 import BeautifulSoup


r = requests.get("https://wiki.garrysmod.com/page/Effects")

soup = BeautifulSoup(r.content, "html.parser")

for td in soup.findAll("table"):
    #--print(td)
    for a in td.findAll("tr"):
        print(a.text)

Answer 1

I'm still not sure what you're asking, but I believe you're saying that you want to access the and only the first , correct? If that's the case, would this not work? I'd try it but it says I don't have access to the website.

import requests
from bs4 import BeautifulSoup


r = requests.get("https://wiki.garrysmod.com/page/Effects")

soup = BeautifulSoup(r.content, "html.parser")

for td in soup.findAll("table"):
    #--print(td)
    for a in td.findAll("tr"):
        print(a.find('td'))

Answer 2

Try this as well. It will give you all the data from that table.

import requests ; from bs4 import BeautifulSoup

soup = BeautifulSoup(requests.get("https://wiki.garrysmod.com/page/Effects").text, "html.parser")

table = soup.findAll('table', attrs={'class':'wikitable'})[0] # Changing the index number will give you whichever table you like
list_of_rows = [[t_data.text for t_data in item.findAll('td')]
                for item in table.findAll('tr')]

for data in list_of_rows:
    print(data)
