静觅 » Python爬虫入门八之Beautiful Soup的用法
并且经过我一定的修改
1. Beautiful Soup的简介
简单来说，Beautiful Soup是python的一个库，最主要的功能是从网页抓取数据。官方解释如下：
Beautiful Soup提供一些简单的、python式的函数用来处理导航、搜索、修改分析树等功能。它是一个工具箱，通过解析文档为用户提供需要抓取的数据，因为简单，所以不需要多少代码就可以写出一个完整的应用程序。
Beautiful Soup自动将输入文档转换为Unicode编码，输出文档转换为utf-8编码。你不需要考虑编码方式，除非文档没有指定一个编码方式，这时，Beautiful Soup就不能自动识别编码方式了。然后，你仅仅需要说明一下原始编码方式就可以了。
Beautiful Soup已成为和lxml、html6lib一样出色的python解释器，为用户灵活地提供不同的解析策略或强劲的速度。
2. Beautiful Soup官方文档
官方文档中的快速开始示例:
下面的一段HTML代码将作为例子被多次用到.这是 爱丽丝梦游仙境的 的一段内容(以后内容中简称为 爱丽丝 的文档):
html_doc = """
<html><head><title>The Dormouse's story</title></head>
<body>
<p class="title"><b>The Dormouse's story</b></p>
<p class="story">Once upon a time there were three little sisters; and their names were
<a href="http://example.com/elsie" class="sister" id="link1">Elsie</a>,
<a href="http://example.com/lacie" class="sister" id="link2">Lacie</a> and
<a href="http://example.com/tillie" class="sister" id="link3">Tillie</a>;
and they lived at the bottom of a well.</p>
<p class="story">...</p>
"""使用BeautifulSoup解析这段代码,能够得到一个 BeautifulSoup 的对象,并能按照标准的缩进格式的结构输出:
from bs4 import BeautifulSoup
soup = BeautifulSoup(html_doc)
print(soup.prettify())
# <html>
# <head>
# <title>
# The Dormouse's story
# </title>
# </head>
# <body>
# <p class="title">
# <b>
# The Dormouse's story
# </b>
# </p>
# <p class="story">
# Once upon a time there were three little sisters; and their names were
# <a class="sister" href="http://example.com/elsie" id="link1">
# Elsie
# </a>
# ,
# <a class="sister" href="http://example.com/lacie" id="link2">
# Lacie
# </a>
# and
# <a class="sister" href="http://example.com/tillie" id="link2">
# Tillie
# </a>
# ; and they lived at the bottom of a well.
# </p>
# <p class="story">
# ...
# </p>
# </body>
# </html>几个简单的浏览结构化数据的方法:
soup.title
# <title>The Dormouse's story</title>
soup.title.name
# u'title'
soup.title.string
# u'The Dormouse's story'
soup.title.parent.name
# u'head'
soup.p
# <p class="title"><b>The Dormouse's story</b></p>
soup.p['class']
# u'title'
soup.a
# <a class="sister" href="http://example.com/elsie" id="link1">Elsie</a>
soup.find_all('a')
# [<a class="sister" href="http://example.com/elsie" id="link1">Elsie</a>,
# <a class="sister" href="http://example.com/lacie" id="link2">Lacie</a>,
# <a class="sister" href="http://example.com/tillie" id="link3">Tillie</a>]
soup.find(id="link3")
# <a class="sister" href="http://example.com/tillie" id="link3">Tillie</a>从文档中找到所有标签的链接:
for link in soup.find_all('a'):
print(link.get('href'))
# http://example.com/elsie
# http://example.com/lacie
# http://example.com/tillie从文档中获取所有文字内容:
print(soup.get_text())
# The Dormouse's story
#
# The Dormouse's story
#
# Once upon a time there were three little sisters; and their names were
# Elsie,
# Lacie and
# Tillie;
# and they lived at the bottom of a well.
#
# ...4. find_all()
find_all( name , attrs , recursive , text , **kwargs )
find_all() 方法搜索当前tag的所有tag子节点,并判断是否符合过滤器的条件.这里有几个例子:
soup.find_all("title")
# [<title>The Dormouse's story</title>]
soup.find_all("p", "title")
# [<p class="title"><b>The Dormouse's story</b></p>]
soup.find_all("a")
# [<a class="sister" href="http://example.com/elsie" id="link1">Elsie</a>,
# <a class="sister" href="http://example.com/lacie" id="link2">Lacie</a>,
# <a class="sister" href="http://example.com/tillie" id="link3">Tillie</a>]
soup.find_all(id="link2")
# [<a class="sister" href="http://example.com/lacie" id="link2">Lacie</a>]
import re
soup.find(text=re.compile("sisters"))
# u'Once upon a time there were three little sisters; and their names were\n'有几个方法很相似,还有几个方法是新的,参数中的 text 和 id 是什么含义? 为什么 find_all("p", "title") 返回的是CSS Class为”title”的
标签? 我们来仔细看一下 find_all() 的参数
