Price = dom.xpath('//div[@id="apex_desktop"]/div/div/span/span/text()')[0]
if Price == AttributeError:
    Price = dom.xpath('//div[@id="apex_desktop"]/div/div/table//tr[2]/td[2]/span/span[1]/text()')[0]
else:
    Price = "No data"

Price

CodePudding user response：

You can use try..except block if it throws error for the first xpath it will go except block and try with second one.

try:
  Price = dom.xpath('//div[@id="apex_desktop"]/div/div/span/span/text()')[0]
except:
  Price = dom.xpath('//div[@id="apex_desktop"]/div/div/table//tr[2]/td[2]/span/span[1]/text()')[0]
  print(Price)
