Intro
In this blog post you'll see how to scrape title, link, displayed link, and a description from Bing organic search results.
Imports
from bs4 import BeautifulSoup
import requests
import lxml
What will be scraped
Everything will be shown on the following container
Title, link
Displayed link
Description (snippet)
Inline links
Code
You might see a lot of try/expect blocks here because not every element has certain data. For example not every container has inline links, so we need to make an exception for it to handle.
from bs4 import BeautifulSoup
import requests, lxml
headers = {
"User-Agent":
"Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 10.0; Win64; x64) AppleWebKit/537.36 (KHTML, like Gecko) Chrome/70.0.3538.102 Safari/537.36 Edge/18.19582"
}
html = requests.get('https://www.bing.com/search?q=lion king&hl=en', headers=headers).text
soup = BeautifulSoup(html, 'lxml')
for result in soup.select('.b_algo'):
try:
title = result.select_one('.b_algo h2 a').text
except:
title = None
try:
link = result.select_one('.b_algo h2 a')['href']
except:
link = None
try:
displayed_link = result.select_one('.b_caption cite').text
except:
displayed_link = None
try:
snippet = result.select_one('#b_results p').text
except:
snippet = None
try:
for inline in result.select('.sa_uc a'):
inline_title = inline.text
inline_link = inline['href']
print(f'{inline_title}\n{inline_link}')
except:
inline_title = None
inline_link = None
print(f'\n{title}\n{link}\n{displayed_link}\n{snippet}\n')
