I am new to web scraping in python3. I want to scrape the reviews of all the hotels in dubai but the problem is I can only scrape the hotel review which I describe in the url. Can anyone show me how I can get all of the hotel reviews without implicitly giving url of each hotel?
import requests
from bs4 import BeautifulSoup
importurl = 'https://www.tripadvisor.com/Hotel_Review-g295424-d302778-Reviews-Roda_Al_Bustan_Dubai_Airport-Dubai_Emirate_of_Dubai.html'
r = requests.get(importurl)
soup = BeautifulSoup(r.content, "lxml")
resultsoup = soup.find_all("p", {"class" : "partial_entry"})
#save the reviews to a test text file locally
for review in resultsoup:
review_list = review.get_text()
print(review_list)
with open('testreview.txt', 'w') as fid:
for review in resultsoup:
review_list = review.get_text()
fid.write(review_list)
you should find the index page of all hotel, get all the link into a list, than loop the url list to get comment.
import bs4, requests
index_pages = ('http://www.tripadvisor.cn/Hotels-g295424-oa{}-Dubai_Emirate_of_Dubai-Hotels.html#ACCOM_OVERVIEW'.format(i) for i in range(0, 540, 30))
urls = []
with requests.session() as s:
for index in index_pages:
r = s.get(index)
soup = bs4.BeautifulSoup(r.text, 'lxml')
url_list = [i.get('href') for i in soup.select('.property_title')]
urls.append(url_list)
out:
len(urls): 540
