I get the following error when I try to print matchup:
AttributeError: ResultSet object has no attribute 'text'. You're probably treating a list of elements like a single element. Did you call find_all() when you meant to call find()?
There are several indexes on the page that will print with .text, but when I go to print all of them, it returns the above error. How do I search and only print the elements that containt ".text"?
'''
import bs4
from bs4 import BeautifulSoup
import requests
import lxml
vegas_insider = requests.get('https://www.vegasinsider.com/nfl/matchups/', 'r').text
soup = BeautifulSoup(vegas_insider, 'lxml')
# returns 3rd index of class ID
#spread = soup.find_all('td', class_ = 'viSubHeader2 cellBorderL2 headerTextNorm padCenter')[2].text
#closing_line = soup.find_all('td', class_ = 'viCellBg2 cellBorderL1 cellTextNorm padCenter')[2].text
#home_team = soup.find_all('a', class_ = 'tableText')[1].text
matchup = soup.find_all('td', class_ = 'viHeaderNorm').text
'''
CodePudding user response：
As the error says
You're probably treating a list of elements like a single element
You want a loop, or a list-comprehension
matchup = [el.text for el in soup.find_all('td', class_ = 'viHeaderNorm')]
CodePudding user response：
You're treating them as the same element, find_all returns a list, you can iterate through it instead though.
CodePudding user response：
Could just let pandas parse the tables:
import pandas as pd
url = 'https://www.vegasinsider.com/nfl/matchups/'
dfs = pd.read_html(url)
for df in dfs:
if len(df.columns) > 4:
print(df)
