I'm trying to extract some javascript from a webpage using python. I managed to isolate the javascript (which contains the data I need) but I am having trouble targeting the js variable that has the information I need.
The javascript is formatted as shown below
The javascript is stored in python a variable named links
replace the {} in the script tag with <>
links = {script type="text/javascript"} var ADC = ADC || {}; ADC.model = {};ADC.model.search = {"count": 48, "title": "Commercial Real Estate for Sale", "h1_text": "Commercial Properties for Sale", "asset": [{"pre_auction_enabled": false, "available": true, "registration_url": "http://www.auction.com/registration/event/commercial/B-152/8024124/",....}]}
I shortened the contents of ADC.model.search but the rest of the data follows the same format. I only need the information contained in the ADC.model.search variable.
I isolate the javascript by doing:
links = source_code.find_all("script", {"type" : "text/javascript"})
where source_code is the entire sourcecode of the page I am trying to scrape
How do I extract the contents of ADC.model.search?
links goes from your code above;
import re
pattern='ADC\.model\.search=([^;\]]+?)'
match = re.match(pattern, links, re.i) # 'links' goes from your code abouve
print match.group(1)
