I'm new in Python and web scraping. I found this code somewhere. Trying modify code so I can save links to file, but I cant.

Please help me.
Thanks in advance.

This code may have worked in the past, (and still may) saving should be simple, but...
the webpage is almost entirely javaScript, so to properly scrape you should use selenium.
there are two tutorials you on this site you should run through (doesn't take long):
web scraping part1
web scraping part2
