How to print the href attributes using beautifulso

Question

Blue element's href value is what i want to access from this HTML

I tried few ways to print the link but didn't work.

My code below:-

discover_page = BeautifulSoup(r.text, 'html.parser')

finding_accounts = discover_page.find_all("a", class_="author track")
print(len(finding_accounts))

finding_accounts = discover_page.find_all('a[class="author track"]')
print(len(finding_accounts))

accounts = discover_page.select('a', {'class': 'author track'})['href']
print(len(accounts))

Output:- 
0
0
TypeError: 'dict' object is not callable

URL of the webpage is https://society6.com/discover but URL changes to https://society6.com/society?show=2 after logging into my account

What am i doing wrong here?

note:- I am using selenium chrome browser here. Answer given here works in my terminal but not when i run the file

My full code:-

from selenium import webdriver
import time
import requests
from bs4 import BeautifulSoup
import lxml

driver = webdriver.Chrome()
driver.get("https://society6.com/login?done=/")
username = driver.find_element_by_id('email')
username.send_keys("[e-mail]")
password = driver.find_element_by_id('password')
password.send_keys("sultan1997")
driver.find_element_by_name('login').click()

time.sleep(5)

driver.find_element_by_link_text('My Society').click()
driver.find_element_by_link_text('Discover').click()

time.sleep(5)

r = requests.get(driver.current_url)
r.raise_for_status()

'''discover_page = BeautifulSoup(r.html.raw_html, 'html.parser')

finding_accounts = discover_page.find_all("a", class_="author track")
print(len(finding_accounts))

finding_accounts = discover_page.find_all('a[class="author track"]')
print(len(finding_accounts))


links = []
for a in discover_page.find_all('a', class_ = 'author track'): 
        links.append(a['href'])
        #links.append(a.get('href'))

print(links)'''

#discover_page.find_all('a')

links = []
for a in discover_page.find_all("a", attrs = {"class": "author track"}): 
        links.append(a['href'])
        #links.append(a.get('href'))

print(links)

#soup.find_all("a", attrs = {"class": "author track"})'''

soup = BeautifulSoup(r.content, "lxml")
a_tags = soup.find_all("a", attrs={"class": "author track"})

for a in soup.find_all('a',{'class':'author track'}):
    print('https://society6.com'+a['href'])

codes in documentation is the one I was using experimenting with

Answer 1

As per your question to print the href from the desired elements you can use only Selenium using the following solution:

• Code Block:

  from selenium import webdriver
  from selenium.webdriver.chrome.options import Options
  from selenium.webdriver.support.ui import WebDriverWait
  from selenium.webdriver.common.by import By
  from selenium.webdriver.support import expected_conditions as EC
  
  options = Options()
  options.add_argument("start-maximized")
  options.add_argument("disable-infobars")
  options.add_argument("--disable-extensions")
  options.add_argument("--disable-gpu")
  options.add_argument("--no-sandbox")
  driver = webdriver.Chrome(chrome_options=options, executable_path=r'C:\WebDrivers\ChromeDriver\chromedriver_win32\chromedriver.exe')
  driver.get("https://society6.com/login?done=/")
  WebDriverWait(driver, 20).until(EC.element_to_be_clickable((By.CSS_SELECTOR, "input#email"))).send_keys("[e-mail]")
  driver.find_element_by_css_selector("input#password").send_keys("sultan1997")
  driver.find_element_by_css_selector("button[name='login']").click()
  WebDriverWait(driver, 20).until(EC.element_to_be_clickable((By.CSS_SELECTOR, "a#nav-user-my-society>span"))).click()
  WebDriverWait(driver, 20).until(EC.element_to_be_clickable((By.LINK_TEXT, "Discover"))).click()
  hrefs_elements = WebDriverWait(driver, 20).until(EC.visibility_of_all_elements_located((By.CSS_SELECTOR, "a.author.track")))
  for element in hrefs_elements:
      print(element.get_attribute("href"))
  

• Console Output:

Answer 2

If you wish to find all links without trying it manually in Beautifulsoup. Then go for requests-html

Sample code to grab all links,

from requests_html import HTMLSession
from bs4 import BeautifulSoup

url = 'https://society6.com/discover'
session = HTMLSession(mock_browser=True)
r = session.get(url, headers={'User-Agent': 'Mozilla/5.0'})

print(r.html.links)
print(r.html.absolute_links)

soup = BeautifulSoup(r.html.raw_html, 'html.parser')
a_tags = soup.find_all("a", attrs={"class": "author track"})
for a_tag in a_tags:
    print(a_tag['href'])

Answer 3

import requests
from bs4 import BeautifulSoup

data = requests.get('https://society6.com/discover')
soup_data = BeautifulSoup(data.content, "lxml")

for a in soup_data.find_all('a',{'class':'author track'}):
    print('https://society6.com'+a['href'])
