AttributeError：'NoneType'对象没有属性'text'-python

Question

So I've been trying to learn data scraping and I'm using this stock website

when I inspect element the price, it shows that:

<span class="priceText__1853e8a5">12,620.83</span>

So when I use that and write this in python:

stockPrice = soup.find('div', class_="priceText__1853e8a5")
price = stockPrice.text.strip()
print(price)

It gives me the following error when I run it:

price = stockPrice.text.strip()
AttributeError: 'NoneType' object has no attribute 'text'

However, when I use:

stockPrice = soup.find('div', class_="price")

The program runs completely fine. Why is that? there is no div with class = "price". I'm really confused.

Answer 1

I've never scraped before, but there's a .get_text() method .

Use as follows:

from bs4 import BeautifulSoup
import requests
r = requests.get("https://www.bloomberg.com/quote/NYA:IND")
data = r.text
soup = BeautifulSoup(data, "lxml")

stockPrice = soup.find("div", class_="price")
print(stockPrice)
price = stockPrice.get_text()
print(price)
