Extract data using Beautiful Soup and Requests












1















I am trying to scrape data from Stackoverflow using Beautiful soup and requests package in Python. I have been able to extract most of the details, however when I try to extract the reputation scores of an user I am only able to pull data for reputation score and Gold, but not able to extract data for Silver and Bronze counts.



Given below is the code I am using to extract:



from bs4 import BeautifulSoup
import requests

source = requests.get('https://stackoverflow.com/questions/53968946/how-can-i-limit-function-slot-play-just-for-5-turn-with-do-while-loop').text
soup = BeautifulSoup(source,'lxml')
article = soup.find('div', class_='inner-content clearfix')
user_reputation_score = article.find('span', class_='reputation-score').text
print(user_reputation_score)


Code for Gold badge:



gold_badge = article.find('div', class_='-flair').find('span', class_='badgecount').text
print(gold_badge)


Wondering how to extend the above to extract data for Silver and Bronze batches.



Use the below link to test:

Please note I am doing this for pure educational purpose. Thanks.
