I have been trying to parse a webpage using BeautifulSoup. When I import urlopen fromm urllib.request and open https://pbejobbers.com it returns following instead of webpage itself:
<html>
<body>
<script src="/aes.min.js" type="text/javascript"></script>
<script>
function toNumbers(d){var e=[];d.replace(/(..)/g,function(d){e.push(parseInt(d,16))});return e}function toHex(){for(var d=[],d=1==arguments.length&&arguments[
0].constructor==Array?arguments[0]:arguments,e="",f=0;f<d.length;f++)e+=(16>d[f]?"0":"")+d[f].toString(16);return e.toLowerCase()}var a=toNumbers("0181cdf0013bf7
0f89e91be7ef0d00c2"),b=toNumbers("a168ceeade18bccc1cdd77af68ef1753"),c=toNumbers("200a38f39b6a3fe3564acf9bd88c25da");document.cookie="OCXS="+toHex(slowAES.decryp
t(c,2,a,b))+"; expires=Thu, 31-Dec-37 23:55:55 GMT; path=/";document.location.href="http://pbejobbers.com/product/search?search=USC4215&81e93addddb02a10cd0652f09
370ae96=1";
</script>
</body>
</html>
I have array of UPC codes that I use to find products that I am looking for. I pass the array to a function and parse the html to find necessary tags but I can get to the actual html. Here is my code:
from urllib.request import urlopen
from bs4 import BeautifulSoup
upc_codes = ['USC4215', 'USC4225', 'USC12050']
def retrunh1(upc):
html = urlopen('https://pbejobbers.com/product/search?search={}'.format(upc))
soup = BeautifulSoup(html, 'html.parser')
print(soup.prettify())
if __name__=='__main__':
for upc in upc_codes:
retrunh1(upc)
I think the problem is with request function. I isolated it to see what it is return and I am getting the same html back as above when I do this:
import requests
r = requests.get('https://pbejobbers.com')
print(r.text)
I am quite new to web parsing and I need some suggestion on how to resolve this. Thanks
Please try this.
Python code:
from urllib.request import urlopen
from bs4 import BeautifulSoup
import requests
import re
upc_codes = ['USC4215', 'USC4225', 'USC12050']
def retrunh1(upc):
payload = {'search': upc }
r = requests.get('https://pbejobbers.com/product', params=payload)
matches = re.search(r'document\.location\.href=\"(:?.*)=1\";', str(r.text), re.M|re.S)
url = matches[1]
response = requests.get(url)
for resp in response.history:
r = requests.post(resp.headers['Location'])
soup = BeautifulSoup(r.content, 'html.parser')
print(soup.prettify())
if __name__=='__main__':
for upc in upc_codes:
retrunh1(upc)
Output:
<div class="page-area-container">
<div class=" middlebar">
<div class=" middlebar__left">
<a class=" logo" href="/">
<img alt="PBE Jobbers" class=" logo-img" src="/bundles/pjfrontend/pbejobbers/images/logo/pbe-logo.svg?version=9d4c5d60"/>
