I want to get the data regarding the information regarding "images" subsection. This is the code that I have written until now. However, I could not move forward. Could anybody please help?

import requests # This is a request to the website
from bs4 import BeautifulSoup # This is a parser

url = "https://mausam.imd.gov.in/imd_latest/contents/stationwise-nowcast-warning.php"
html = requests.get(url).content # requests instance
soup = BeautifulSoup(html, 'html.parser') # getting raw data
a = soup.find('script', attrs={'type': 'text/javascript'})

CodePudding user response：

You are on the right track, you just need to further dissect the information from that tag, to get what you need. Here is one way of obtaining that data:

import requests
import pandas as pd
from bs4 import BeautifulSoup as bs
import json

url = 'https://mausam.imd.gov.in/imd_latest/contents/stationwise-nowcast-warning.php'
script_w_data = bs(requests.get(url).text, 'html.parser').select_one('script[type="text/javascript"]').text.split('"images": [')[1].split(']')[0]
obj = json.loads('['   script_w_data   ']')
df = pd.json_normalize(obj)
print(df)

Result in terminal:
