I have element with type bs4.element.Tag
<a class="nav-link match-link-stats" href="/football/matches/match867851_Kalteng_Putra-Arema-online/" title="Stat"><i class="icon-match-link"></i></a>And I want to get "/football/matches/match867851_Kalteng_Putra-Arema-online/" from this element. How to do it?
Best Answer
This answer assumes you already have the Tag element as an object. If not, use KunduK's answer.
You can use tag.get('href') or tag['href']:
>>> tag.get('href')'/football/matches/match867851_Kalteng_Putra-Arema-online/'>>> tag['href']'/football/matches/match867851_Kalteng_Putra-Arema-online/'The difference is that tag.get('href') will return None if the attribute doesn't exist, while tag['href'] will raise a KeyError in that case. That's the same behavior as in a dict.
Full example:
>>> from bs4 import BeautifulSoup>>> soup = BeautifulSoup('<a class="nav-link match-link-stats" href="/football/matches/match867851_Kalteng_Putra-Arema-online/" title="Stat"><i class="icon-match-link"></i></a>')>>> tag = soup.find('a')>>> type(tag)<class 'bs4.element.Tag'>>>> tag.get('href')'/football/matches/match867851_Kalteng_Putra-Arema-online/'>>> tag['href']'/football/matches/match867851_Kalteng_Putra-Arema-online/'tag.findChild("a")['href']You grab the "a" tag, then take the "href" attribute
Use css selecor and get the attribute href
from bs4 import BeautifulSoupdata='''<a class="nav-link match-link-stats" href="/football/matches/match867851_Kalteng_Putra-Arema-online/" title="Stat"><i class="icon-match-link"></i></a>'''soup= BeautifulSoup(data, 'html.parser')print(soup.select_one('.match-link-stats')['href'])Output:
/football/matches/match867851_Kalteng_Putra-Arema-online/
