一、介绍
BeautifulSoup库是灵活又方便的网页解析库,处理高效,支持多种解析器。利用它不用编写正则表达式即可方便地实现网页信息的提取。
Python常用解析库
二、快速开始
给定html文档,产生BeautifulSoup对象
from bs4 import BeautifulSoup 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" rel="external nofollow" rel="external nofollow" rel="external nofollow" rel="external nofollow" rel="external nofollow" rel="external nofollow" rel="external nofollow" class="sister" id="link1">Elsie</a>, <a href="http://example.com/lacie" rel="external nofollow" rel="external nofollow" rel="external nofollow" rel="external nofollow" rel="external nofollow" rel="external nofollow" class="sister" id="link2">Lacie</a> and <a href="http://example.com/tillie" rel="external nofollow" rel="external nofollow" rel="external nofollow" rel="external nofollow" rel="external nofollow" rel="external nofollow" rel="external nofollow" class="sister" id="link3">Tillie</a>; and they lived at the bottom of a well.</p> <p class="story">...</p> """ soup = BeautifulSoup(html_doc,'lxml')
输出完整文本
print(soup.prettify())

自动补全标签并进行格式化

标签选择器
选择元素
html = """ <html><head><title>The Dormouse's story</title></head> <body> <p class="title" name="dromouse"><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" rel="external nofollow" rel="external nofollow" rel="external nofollow" rel="external nofollow" rel="external nofollow" rel="external nofollow" rel="external nofollow" class="sister" id="link1"><!-- Elsie --></a>, <a href="http://example.com/lacie" rel="external nofollow" rel="external nofollow" rel="external nofollow" rel="external nofollow" rel="external nofollow" rel="external nofollow" class="sister" id="link2">Lacie</a> and <a href="http://example.com/tillie" rel="external nofollow" rel="external nofollow" rel="external nofollow" rel="external nofollow" rel="external nofollow" rel="external nofollow" rel="external nofollow" class="sister" id="link3">Tillie</a>; and they lived at the bottom of a well.</p> <p class="story">...</p> """ from bs4 import BeautifulSoup soup = BeautifulSoup(html, 'lxml')#传入解析器:lxml print(soup.title)#选择了title标签 print(type(soup.title))#查看类型 print(soup.head)
获取标签名称
from bs4 import BeautifulSoup soup = BeautifulSoup(html, 'lxml')#传入解析器:lxml print(soup.title.name)
获取标签属性
from bs4 import BeautifulSoup soup = BeautifulSoup(html, 'lxml')#传入解析器:lxml print(soup.p.attrs['name'])#获取p标签中,name这个属性的值 print(soup.p['name'])#另一种写法,比较直接
获取标签内容
print(soup.p.string)
标签嵌套选择
from bs4 import BeautifulSoup soup = BeautifulSoup(html, 'lxml')#传入解析器:lxml print(soup.head.title.string)
子节点和子孙节点
html = """ <html> <head> <title>The Dormouse's story</title> </head> <body> <p class="story"> Once upon a time there were three little sisters; and their names were <a href="http://example.com/elsie" rel="external nofollow" rel="external nofollow" rel="external nofollow" rel="external nofollow" rel="external nofollow" rel="external nofollow" rel="external nofollow" class="sister" id="link1"> <span>Elsie</span> </a> <a href="http://example.com/lacie" rel="external nofollow" rel="external nofollow" rel="external nofollow" rel="external nofollow" rel="external nofollow" rel="external nofollow" class="sister" id="link2">Lacie</a> and <a href="http://example.com/tillie" rel="external nofollow" rel="external nofollow" rel="external nofollow" rel="external nofollow" rel="external nofollow" rel="external nofollow" rel="external nofollow" class="sister" id="link3">Tillie</a> and they lived at the bottom of a well. </p> <p class="story">...</p> """ from bs4 import BeautifulSoup soup = BeautifulSoup(html, 'lxml')#传入解析器:lxml print(soup.p.contents)#获取指定标签的子节点,类型是list
另一个方法,child:
from bs4 import BeautifulSoup soup = BeautifulSoup(html, 'lxml')#传入解析器:lxml print(soup.p.children)#获取指定标签的子节点的迭代器对象 for i,children in enumerate(soup.p.children):#i接受索引,children接受内容 print(i,children)
输出结果与上面的一样,多了一个索引。注意,只能用循环来迭代出子节点的信息。因为直接返回的只是一个迭代器对象。
获取子孙节点:
from bs4 import BeautifulSoup soup = BeautifulSoup(html, 'lxml')#传入解析器:lxml print(soup.p.descendants)#获取指定标签的子孙节点的迭代器对象 for i,child in enumerate(soup.p.descendants):#i接受索引,child接受内容 print(i,child)
父节点和祖先节点
parent
from bs4 import BeautifulSoup soup = BeautifulSoup(html, 'lxml')#传入解析器:lxml print(soup.a.parent)#获取指定标签的父节点
parents
from bs4 import BeautifulSoup soup = BeautifulSoup(html, 'lxml')#传入解析器:lxml print(list(enumerate(soup.a.parents)))#获取指定标签的祖先节点
兄弟节点
from bs4 import BeautifulSoup soup = BeautifulSoup(html, 'lxml')#传入解析器:lxml print(list(enumerate(soup.a.next_siblings)))#获取指定标签的后面的兄弟节点 print(list(enumerate(soup.a.previous_siblings)))#获取指定标签的前面的兄弟节点
标准选择器
find_all( name , attrs , recursive , text , **kwargs )
可根据标签名、属性、内容查找文档。
name
html=''' <div class="panel"> <div class="panel-heading"> <h4>Hello</h4> </div> <div class="panel-body"> <ul class="list" id="list-1"> <li class="element">Foo</li> <li class="element">Bar</li> <li class="element">Jay</li> </ul> <ul class="list list-small" id="list-2"> <li class="element">Foo</li> <li class="element">Bar</li> </ul> </div> </div> ''' from bs4 import BeautifulSoup soup = BeautifulSoup(html, 'lxml') print(soup.find_all('ul'))#查找所有ul标签下的内容 print(type(soup.find_all('ul')[0]))#查看其类型
下面的例子就是查找所有ul标签下的li标签:
from bs4 import BeautifulSoup soup = BeautifulSoup(html, 'lxml') for ul in soup.find_all('ul'): print(ul.find_all('li'))
attrs(属性)
通过属性进行元素的查找
html=''' <div class="panel"> <div class="panel-heading"> <h4>Hello</h4> </div> <div class="panel-body"> <ul class="list" id="list-1" name="elements"> <li class="element">Foo</li> <li class="element">Bar</li> <li class="element">Jay</li> </ul> <ul class="list list-small" id="list-2"> <li class="element">Foo</li> <li class="element">Bar</li> </ul> </div> </div> ''' from bs4 import BeautifulSoup soup = BeautifulSoup(html, 'lxml') print(soup.find_all(attrs={'id': 'list-1'}))#传入的是一个字典类型,也就是想要查找的属性 print(soup.find_all(attrs={'name': 'elements'}))
查找到的是同样的内容,因为这两个属性是在同一个标签里面的。
特殊类型的参数查找:
from bs4 import BeautifulSoup soup = BeautifulSoup(html, 'lxml') print(soup.find_all(id='list-1'))#id是个特殊的属性,可以直接使用 print(soup.find_all(class_='element')) #class是关键字所以要用class_
text
根据文本内容来进行选择:
html=''' <div class="panel"> <div class="panel-heading"> <h4>Hello</h4> </div> <div class="panel-body"> <ul class="list" id="list-1"> <li class="element">Foo</li> <li class="element">Bar</li> <li class="element">Jay</li> </ul> <ul class="list list-small" id="list-2"> <li class="element">Foo</li> <li class="element">Bar</li> </ul> </div> </div> ''' from bs4 import BeautifulSoup soup = BeautifulSoup(html, 'lxml') print(soup.find_all(text='Foo'))#查找文本为Foo的内容,但是返回的不是标签
所以说这个text在做内容匹配的时候比较方便,但是在做内容查找的时候并不是太方便。
方法
find
find用法和findall一模一样,但是返回的是找到的第一个符合条件的内容输出。
ind_parents(), find_parent()
find_parents()返回所有祖先节点,find_parent()返回直接父节点。
find_next_siblings() ,find_next_sibling()
find_next_siblings()返回后面的所有兄弟节点,find_next_sibling()返回后面的第一个兄弟节点
find_previous_siblings(),find_previous_sibling()
find_previous_siblings()返回前面所有兄弟节点,find_previous_sibling()返回前面第一个兄弟节点
find_all_next(),find_next()
find_all_next()返回节点后所有符合条件的节点,find_next()返回后面第一个符合条件的节点
find_all_previous(),find_previous()
find_all_previous()返回节点前所有符合条件的节点,find_previous()返回前面第一个符合条件的节点
CSS选择器 通过select()直接传入CSS选择器即可完成选择
html=''' <div class="panel"> <div class="panel-heading"> <h4>Hello</h4> </div> <div class="panel-body"> <ul class="list" id="list-1"> <li class="element">Foo</li> <li class="element">Bar</li> <li class="element">Jay</li> </ul> <ul class="list list-small" id="list-2"> <li class="element">Foo</li> <li class="element">Bar</li> </ul> </div> </div> ''' from bs4 import BeautifulSoup soup = BeautifulSoup(html, 'lxml') print(soup.select('.panel .panel-heading'))#.代表class,中间需要空格来分隔 print(soup.select('ul li')) #选择ul标签下面的li标签 print(soup.select('#list-2 .element')) #'#'代表id。这句的意思是查找id为"list-2"的标签下的,class=element的元素 print(type(soup.select('ul')[0]))#打印节点类型
再看看层层嵌套的选择:
from bs4 import BeautifulSoup soup = BeautifulSoup(html, 'lxml') for ul in soup.select('ul'): print(ul.select('li'))
获取属性
from bs4 import BeautifulSoup soup = BeautifulSoup(html, 'lxml') for ul in soup.select('ul'): print(ul['id'])# 用[ ]即可获取属性 print(ul.attrs['id'])#另一种写法
获取内容
from bs4 import BeautifulSoup soup = BeautifulSoup(html, 'lxml') for li in soup.select('li'): print(li.get_text())
用get_text()方法就能获取内容了。
总结
推荐使用lxml解析库,必要时使用html.parser
标签选择筛选功能弱但是速度快 建议使用find()、find_all() 查询匹配单个结果或者多个结果
如果对CSS选择器熟悉建议使用select()
记住常用的获取属性和文本值的方法
