I am trying to do scraping from https://finansial.bisnis.com/read/20210506/90/1391096/laba-bank-mega-tumbuh-dua-digit-kuartal-i-2021-ini-penopangnya. I am trying to scrape the date of news, here's my code:
news['tanggal'] = newsScrape['date']
dates = []
for x in news['tanggal']:
x = listToString(x)
x = x.strip()
x = x.replace('\r', '').replace('\n', '').replace(' \xa0|\xa0', ',').replace('|', ', ')
dates.append(x)
dates = listToString(dates)
dates = dates[0:20]
if len(dates) == 0:
continue
news['tanggal'] = dt.datetime.strptime(dates, '%d %B %Y, %H:%M')
but I got this error:
ValueError: time data '06 Mei 2021, 11:32 ' does not match format '%d %B %Y, %H:%M'
My assumption is because Mei is in Indonesian language, meanwhile the format need May which is in English. How to change Mei to be May? I have tried dates = dates.replace('Mei', 'May') but it doesnt work on me. When I tried it, I got error ValueError: unconverted data remains: The type of dates is string. Thanks
You can try with the following
import datetime as dt
import requests
from bs4 import BeautifulSoup
import urllib.request
url="https://finansial.bisnis.com/read/20210506/90/1391096/laba-bank-mega-tumbuh-dua-digit-kuartal-i-2021-ini-penopangnya"
r = requests.get(url, verify=False)
soup = BeautifulSoup(r.content, 'html.parser')
info_soup= soup.find(class_="new-description")
x=info_soup.find('span').get_text(strip=True)
x = x.strip()
x = x.replace('\r', '').replace('\n', '').replace(' \xa0|\xa0', ',').replace('|', ', ')
x = x[0:20]
x = x.rstrip()
date= dt.datetime.strptime(x.replace('Mei', 'May'), '%d %B %Y, %H:%M')
print(date)
result:
2021-05-06 11:45:00
