Python BeautifulSoup - find table by id returning 'none'












0














For some reason I can't find a table by id or select the table by id.. I've been referring to the docs for BS and from what I can tell it should be working..



Below is an example of the code to try and select the table by the id "per_game", content.find(id='per_game') doesn't work for me either.



I've been referring to the find and CSS selector part of the docs, here: https://www.crummy.com/software/BeautifulSoup/bs4/doc/#find



import requests

import csv

import calendar

from datetime import date, datetime, timedelta

from collections import OrderedDict, defaultdict

from bs4 import BeautifulSoup as soup



season = str(date.today().year + 1)

month = calendar.month_name[date.today().month].lower()



teamUrl = "https://basketball-reference.com/teams/"



urls       =    [teamUrl + 'ATL/' + season +'.html'] # Atlanta Hawks

                 # teamUrl + 'BOS/' + season +'.html', # Boston Celtics

                 # teamUrl + 'BKN/' + season +'.html', # Brooklyn Nets

                 # teamUrl + 'CHA/' + season +'.html', # Charlotte Hornets



for url in urls:

    page = requests.get(url, headers={'User-Agent': 'Mozilla/5.0'})

    content = soup(page.content, 'html.parser')

    table = content.select("#per_game")

    print(table)


Many thanks,
OM.

  • You need to use some module which can run JavaScript, then you can load all the data. btw i ever answer a question like this one (same website but he want to scrape the records of each player)

this is not Ajax, just remove comment from the html



page = requests.get(url, headers={'User-Agent': 'Mozilla/5.0'})

html_doc = page.text.replace('<!--', '').replace('-->', '')

Run scheduled task as local user group (not BUILTIN)

This is working fine when I in the field "when running a task, use the following user account:" insert BUILTIN User Group (for example: Administrators or Users). But when I try it with the created Local User Group (example: TestGroup) it is not working. The Users in the TestGroup are the same as in the Administrators group. What could be the problem? Are there some restrictions to the Created User Group compared to BUILTINUsers? scheduled-tasks taskscheduler windowstaskschedule share | improve this question asked Nov 15 '18 at 15:36 Far...
