Get text from within h3 html tags

[Pedroski55]

Thanks, that is much better than my attempt, gleaned from the internet!

It was a bit harder to extract the defintions, but once I had the terms, I got them by getting the text that was not in the list of business finance terms.

I used random to shuffle the list of business finance terms, but I kept the definitions in the order they are on the webpage. Didn't want to make it too difficult!

import requests
from bs4 import BeautifulSoup
import random

url = 'https://www.fundera.com/blog/business-finance-terms-and-definitions'
res = requests.get(url)
html_page = res.content
soup = BeautifulSoup(html_page, 'html.parser')
text = soup.find_all(text=True)

output = ''
blacklist = [
    '[document]',
    'noscript',
    'header',
    'html',
    'meta',
    'head', 
    'input',
    'script',
    'style'
    # there may be more elements you don't want, such as "style", etc.
]

for t in text:
    if t.parent.name not in blacklist:
        output += '{} '.format(t)

text_list = output.split('\n')
useful_text = '\n'.join(text_list)
savepath = '/home/pedro/temp/'

with open(savepath + 'biz_definitions.txt', 'w') as f:
    f.write(useful_text)
    
print('All done! Text saved to', savepath + 'biz_definitions.txt' )
