Using beautiful soup to get html attribute value - graham23s - Apr-23-2019
Hi Guys,
What i'm trying to do is use beautiful soup to get the value of an html attribute.
<div class="g-recaptcha" data-sitekey="VALUE_TO_RETURN"></div>
What i have so far is:
soup = BeautifulSoup(html, "html.parser")
print("data-sitekey=" + soup.find("div", {"class" : "data-sitekey"}))
return soup.find("div", {"class" : "data-sitekey"})But this returns "must be str, not nulltype"any help would be appreciated.
cheers guys

from bs4 import BeautifulSoup html = '''\ <div class="g-recaptcha" data-sitekey="VALUE_TO_RETURN"></div>''' soup = BeautifulSoup(html, 'lxml')
>>> tag = soup.find('div', class_="g-recaptcha")
>>> tag
<div class="g-recaptcha" data-sitekey="VALUE_TO_RETURN"></div>
>>> tag.attrs
{'class': ['g-recaptcha'], 'data-sitekey': 'VALUE_TO_RETURN'}
>>> tag.attrs.get('data-sitekey')
'VALUE_TO_RETURN'
