How to use find_all method in bs4 on an object without class-CodePudding

import requests
from bs4 import BeautifulSoup

result=requests.get('http://textfiles.com/stories/').text
soup=BeautifulSoup (result, 'lxml')
stories=soup.find_all('tr')
print (stories)

The find method works but find_all doesn't I'm not sure why maybe it is because it doesn't have a class?

CodePudding user response：

correct code is

import requests
from bs4 import BeautifulSoup

result=requests.get('http://textfiles.com/stories/')
soup = BeautifulSoup(result.content, 'html5lib')
stories=soup.find_all('tr')

you can access each 'tr' by

stories[0]

0 can be replaced with any number in list You can also use Pandas eg

import pandas
import requests
from bs4 import BeautifulSoup
result=requests.get('http://textfiles.com/stories/')
soup = BeautifulSoup(result.content, 'html5lib')
df=pandas.read_html(soup.prettify())
print(df)
