[quote="tjnichols" pid="42398" dateline="1521306539"]Can you tell me how using the requests module helps me the html? I appreciate your help!

Because it's a better and easier to use than urllib in all parts,eg you get correct encoding back and security is up to date. Your script using Requests,if you look at link i gave you see use of Requests with BeautifulSoup and lxml.

import requests from bs4 import BeautifulSoup url = 'http://www.pythonscraping.com/pages/page1.html' url_get = requests.get(url) soup = BeautifulSoup(url_get.content, 'html.parser') print(soup.find('title').text) print(soup.find('h1').text)

Output:
A Useful Page An Interesting Title
