Extract Anchor Text (Scrapy) - soothsayerpg - Jul-21-2018 Tried using the search box but didn't find any post that relates. Also tried Googling it but didn't find any answer. How can I extract only the anchor text in a given hyperlink? Quote:I.E. <a href='mydomain.com'>my anchor text</a> Quote:example: Called the page/site using scrapy shell 'website url'using response.css('div.blog_next_page > a::attr(href)').extract_first()I can extract the link but how can i get "my anchor text"? Many thanks for the help!

I was messing around with having 'text' inside the attr() or a::text(), geez... So 'text' alone is just inside the string or it sniff a string at the a-tag? Thanks again! |
