为什么在使用 BS4 和请求检索信息时，我的列表中总是出现不止一项？

Question

from bs4 import BeautifulSoup
import requests

Webpage = requests.get('https://www.brainyquote.com/quote_of_the_day')

soup = BeautifulSoup( Webpage.content, 'html.parser')

qoute = soup.find(class_='qotd-q-cntr')
words = [qoute.find('a').text for item in qoute]


print(words) 

When printing the variable words I get the same quote appearing three times in my list but I want to just get it one time. my output is similar to the following

['qoute','qoute','qoute']

I'm looking to get it to be something like this

['qoute']

Answer 1

This is because you are scraping via class attribute and the one you gave is the one for all the quotes when you inspect that website.

Instead, search for something more specific. Like an h2 tag with class qotd-h2 and innerText "Quote of the Day".

Then from getting that anchor element you can traverse the DOM to get to the quote.

Example

from bs4 import BeautifulSoup
import requests

Webpage = requests.get('https://www.brainyquote.com/quote_of_the_day')

soup = BeautifulSoup( Webpage.content, 'html.parser')

#? Find the quote of the day title
anchor = soup.find('h2', class_='qotd-h2', text="Quote of the Day")
quoteDiv = anchor.parent.find(class_="clearfix") #? The div surrounding the quote
quote = quoteDiv.find(title="view quote") #? The quote tag

print(quote.text)
