爬虫——BeautifulSoup4解析器

BeautifulSoup用来解析HTML比较简单,API非常人性化,支持CSS选择器、Python标准库中的HTML解析器,也支持lxml的XML解析器。

其相较与正则而言,使用更加简单。

示例:

首先必须要导入bs4库

#!/usr/bin/python3
# -*- coding:utf-8 -*-
__author__ = 'mayi'


from bs4 import BeautifulSoup

html = """
<html><head><title>The Dormouse's story</title></head>
<body>
<p class="title" name="dromouse"><b>The Dormouse's story</b></p>
<p class="story">Once upon a time there were three little sisters; and their names were
<a href="http://example.com/elsie" class="sister" id="link1"><!-- Elsie --></a>,
<a href="http://example.com/lacie" class="sister" id="link2">Lacie</a> and
<a href="http://example.com/tillie" class="sister" id="link3">Tillie</a>;
and they lived at the bottom of a well.</p>
<p class="story">...</p>
"""

# 创建 Beautiful Soup 对象,指定lxml解析器
soup = BeautifulSoup(html, "lxml")

# 格式化输出 soup 对象的内容
print(soup.prettify())

运行结果

<html>
 <head>
  <title>
   The Dormouse's story
  </title>
 </head>
 <body>
  <p class="title" name="dromouse">
   <b>
    The Dormouse's story
   </b>
  </p>
  <p class="story">
   Once upon a time there were three little sisters; and their names were
   <a class="sister" href="http://example.com/elsie" id="link1">
    <!-- Elsie -->
   </a>
   ,
   <a class="sister" href="http://example.com/lacie" id="link2">
    Lacie
   </a>
   and
   <a class="sister" href="http://example.com/tillie" id="link3">
    Tillie
   </a>
   ;
and they lived at the bottom of a well.
  </p>
  <p class="story">
   ...
  </p>
 </body>
</html>

四大对象种类

BeautifulSoup将复杂的HTML文档转换成一个复杂的树形结构,每个节点都是Python对象,所有对象可以归纳为4种:

  • Tag
  • NavigableString
  • BeautifulSoup
  • Comment

1.Tag

Tag 通俗点讲就是HTML中的一个个标签,例如:

<head><title>The Dormouse's story</title></head>
<a class="sister" href="http://example.com/elsie" id="link1"><!-- Elsie --></a>
<p class="title" name="dromouse"><b>The Dormouse's story</b></p>

上面title head a p 等等HTML标签加上里面包括的内容就是Tag,那么试着使用BeautifulSoup来获取Tags:

#!/usr/bin/python3
# -*- coding:utf-8 -*-
__author__ = 'mayi'

from bs4 import BeautifulSoup

html = """
<html><head><title>The Dormouse's story</title></head>
<body>
<p class="title" name="dromouse"><b>The Dormouse's story</b></p>
<p class="story">Once upon a time there were three little sisters; and their names were
<a href="http://example.com/elsie" class="sister" id="link1"><!-- Elsie --></a>,
<a href="http://example.com/lacie" class="sister" id="link2">Lacie</a> and
<a href="http://example.com/tillie" class="sister" id="link3">Tillie</a>;
and they lived at the bottom of a well.</p>
<p class="story">...</p>
"""

# 创建 Beautiful Soup 对象,指定lxml解析器
soup = BeautifulSoup(html, "lxml")

# # 打印title标签
print(soup.title)

# 打印head标签
print(soup.head)

# 打印a标签
print(soup.a)

# 打印p标签
print(soup.p)

# 打印soup.p的类型
print(type(soup.p))

运行结果

<title>The Dormouse's story</title>
<head><title>The Dormouse's story</title></head>
<a class="sister" href="http://example.com/elsie" id="link1"><!-- Elsie --></a>
<p class="title" name="dromouse"><b>The Dormouse's story</b></p>
<class 'bs4.element.Tag'>

我们可以利用soup加标签名轻松地获取这些标签内容,这些对象的类型是bs4.element.Tag。但是注意,它查找的是在所有内容中的第一个符合要求的标签。如果需要查询所有的标签,后面会进行介绍。

对于Tag,它有两个重要的属性,就是name和attrs

#!/usr/bin/python3
# -*- coding:utf-8 -*-
__author__ = 'mayi'

from bs4 import BeautifulSoup

html = """
<html><head><title>The Dormouse's story</title></head>
<body>
<p class="title" name="dromouse"><b>The Dormouse's story</b></p>
<p class="story">Once upon a time there were three little sisters; and their names were
<a href="http://example.com/elsie" class="sister" id="link1"><!-- Elsie --></a>,
<a href="http://example.com/lacie" class="sister" id="link2">Lacie</a> and
<a href="http://example.com/tillie" class="sister" id="link3">Tillie</a>;
and they lived at the bottom of a well.</p>
<p class="story">...</p>
"""

# 创建 Beautiful Soup 对象,指定lxml解析器
soup = BeautifulSoup(html, "lxml")

# soup对象比较特殊,它的name为[document]
print(soup.name)

# 对于其他内部标签,输出的值便为标签本身的名称
print(soup.head.name)

# 打印p标签的所有属性,其类型是一个字典
print(soup.p.attrs)

# 打印p标签的class属性
print(soup.p['class'])
# 还可以利用get方法获取属性,传入属性的名称,与上面的方法等价
print(soup.p.get('class'))

print(soup.p)

# 修改属性
soup.p['class'] = "newClass"
print(soup.p)

# 删除属性
del soup.p['class']
print(soup.p)

运行结果

[document]
head
{'class': ['title'], 'name': 'dromouse'}
['title']
['title']
<p class="title" name="dromouse"><b>The Dormouse's story</b></p>
<p class="newClass" name="dromouse"><b>The Dormouse's story</b></p>
<p name="dromouse"><b>The Dormouse's story</b></p>

2.NavigableString

既然我们已经得到了标签的内容,那么问题来了,我们想要获取标签内部的文字怎么办呢?很简单,用.string即可,例如:

#!/usr/bin/python3
# -*- coding:utf-8 -*-
__author__ = 'mayi'

from bs4 import BeautifulSoup

html = """
<html><head><title>The Dormouse's story</title></head>
<body>
<p class="title" name="dromouse"><b>The Dormouse's story</b></p>
<p class="story">Once upon a time there were three little sisters; and their names were
<a href="http://example.com/elsie" class="sister" id="link1"><!-- Elsie --></a>,
<a href="http://example.com/lacie" class="sister" id="link2">Lacie</a> and
<a href="http://example.com/tillie" class="sister" id="link3">Tillie</a>;
and they lived at the bottom of a well.</p>
<p class="story">...</p>
"""

# 创建 Beautiful Soup 对象,指定lxml解析器
soup = BeautifulSoup(html, "lxml")

# 打印p标签的内容
print(soup.p.string)

# 打印soup.p.string的类型
print(type(soup.p.string))

运行结果

The Dormouse's story
<class 'bs4.element.NavigableString'>

3.BeautifulSoup

BeautifulSoup对象表示的是一个文档的内容。大部分时候,可以把它当作Tag对象,是一个特殊的Tag,我们可以分别获取它的类型,名称,以及属性

#!/usr/bin/python3
# -*- coding:utf-8 -*-
__author__ = 'mayi'

from bs4 import BeautifulSoup

html = """
<html><head><title>The Dormouse's story</title></head>
<body>
<p class="title" name="dromouse"><b>The Dormouse's story</b></p>
<p class="story">Once upon a time there were three little sisters; and their names were
<a href="http://example.com/elsie" class="sister" id="link1"><!-- Elsie --></a>,
<a href="http://example.com/lacie" class="sister" id="link2">Lacie</a> and
<a href="http://example.com/tillie" class="sister" id="link3">Tillie</a>;
and they lived at the bottom of a well.</p>
<p class="story">...</p>
"""

# 创建 Beautiful Soup 对象,指定lxml解析器
soup = BeautifulSoup(html, "lxml")

# 类型
print(type(soup.name))

# 名称
print(soup.name)

# 属性
print(soup.attrs)

运行结果

<class 'str'>
[document]
{}

4.Comment

Comment对象是一个特殊类型的NavigableString对象,其输出的内容不包括注释符号。

#!/usr/bin/python3
# -*- coding:utf-8 -*-
__author__ = 'mayi'

from bs4 import BeautifulSoup

html = """
<html><head><title>The Dormouse's story</title></head>
<body>
<p class="title" name="dromouse"><b>The Dormouse's story</b></p>
<p class="story">Once upon a time there were three little sisters; and their names were
<a href="http://example.com/elsie" class="sister" id="link1"><!-- Elsie --></a>,
<a href="http://example.com/lacie" class="sister" id="link2">Lacie</a> and
<a href="http://example.com/tillie" class="sister" id="link3">Tillie</a>;
and they lived at the bottom of a well.</p>
<p class="story">...</p>
"""

# 创建 Beautiful Soup 对象,指定lxml解析器
soup = BeautifulSoup(html, "lxml")

print(soup.a)

print(soup.a.string)

print(type(soup.a.string))

运行结果

<a class="sister" href="http://example.com/elsie" id="link1"><!-- Elsie --></a>
 Elsie 
<class 'bs4.element.Comment'>

a标签里的内容实际上是注释,但是如果我们利用.string来输出它的内容时,注释符号已经去掉了。

遍历文档树

1.直接子节点:.contents .children属性

.content

Tag的.content属性可以将Tag的子节点以列表的方式输出

#!/usr/bin/python3
# -*- coding:utf-8 -*-
__author__ = 'mayi'

from bs4 import BeautifulSoup

html = """
<html><head><title>The Dormouse's story</title></head>
<body>
<p class="title" name="dromouse"><b>The Dormouse's story</b></p>
<p class="story">Once upon a time there were three little sisters; and their names were
<a href="http://example.com/elsie" class="sister" id="link1"><!-- Elsie --></a>,
<a href="http://example.com/lacie" class="sister" id="link2">Lacie</a> and
<a href="http://example.com/tillie" class="sister" id="link3">Tillie</a>;
and they lived at the bottom of a well.</p>
<p class="story">...</p>
"""

# 创建 Beautiful Soup 对象,指定lxml解析器
soup = BeautifulSoup(html, "lxml")

# 输出方式为列表
print(soup.head.contents)

print(soup.head.contents[0])

运行结果

[<title>The Dormouse's story</title>]
<title>The Dormouse's story</title>

.children

它返回的不是一个列表,不过我们可以通过遍历获取所有的子节点。

#!/usr/bin/python3
# -*- coding:utf-8 -*-
__author__ = 'mayi'

from bs4 import BeautifulSoup

html = """
<html><head><title>The Dormouse's story</title></head>
<body>
<p class="title" name="dromouse"><b>The Dormouse's story</b></p>
<p class="story">Once upon a time there were three little sisters; and their names were
<a href="http://example.com/elsie" class="sister" id="link1"><!-- Elsie --></a>,
<a href="http://example.com/lacie" class="sister" id="link2">Lacie</a> and
<a href="http://example.com/tillie" class="sister" id="link3">Tillie</a>;
and they lived at the bottom of a well.</p>
<p class="story">...</p>
"""

# 创建 Beautiful Soup 对象,指定lxml解析器
soup = BeautifulSoup(html, "lxml")

# 输出方式为列表生成器对象
print(soup.head.children)

# 通过遍历获取所有子节点
for child in soup.head.children:
    print(child)

运行结果

<list_iterator object at 0x008FF950>
<title>The Dormouse's story</title>

2.所有子孙节点:.descendants属性

上面讲的.contents和.children属性仅包含Tag的直接子节点,.descendants属性可以对所有Tag的子孙节点进行递归循环,和children类似,我们也需要通过遍历的方式获取其中的内容。

#!/usr/bin/python3
# -*- coding:utf-8 -*-
__author__ = 'mayi'

from bs4 import BeautifulSoup

html = """
<html><head><title>The Dormouse's story</title></head>
<body>
<p class="title" name="dromouse"><b>The Dormouse's story</b></p>
<p class="story">Once upon a time there were three little sisters; and their names were
<a href="http://example.com/elsie" class="sister" id="link1"><!-- Elsie --></a>,
<a href="http://example.com/lacie" class="sister" id="link2">Lacie</a> and
<a href="http://example.com/tillie" class="sister" id="link3">Tillie</a>;
and they lived at the bottom of a well.</p>
<p class="story">...</p>
"""

# 创建 Beautiful Soup 对象,指定lxml解析器
soup = BeautifulSoup(html, "lxml")

# 输出方式为列表生成器对象
print(soup.head.descendants)

# 通过遍历获取所有子孙节点
for child in soup.head.descendants:
    print(child)

运行结果

<generator object descendants at 0x00519AB0>
<title>The Dormouse's story</title>
The Dormouse's story

3.节点内容:.string属性

如果Tag只有一个NavigableString类型子节点,那么这个Tag可以使用.string得到子节点。如果一个Tag仅有一个子节点,那么这个Tab也可以使用.string方法,输出结果与当前唯一子节点的.string结果相同。

通俗点来讲就是:如果一个标签里面没有标签了,那么.string就会返回标签里面的内容。如果标签里面只有唯一的一个标签了,那么.string也会返回里面的内容。例如:

#!/usr/bin/python3
# -*- coding:utf-8 -*-
__author__ = 'mayi'

from bs4 import BeautifulSoup

html = """
<html><head><title>The Dormouse's story</title></head>
<body>
<p class="title" name="dromouse"><b>The Dormouse's story</b></p>
<p class="story">Once upon a time there were three little sisters; and their names were
<a href="http://example.com/elsie" class="sister" id="link1"><!-- Elsie --></a>,
<a href="http://example.com/lacie" class="sister" id="link2">Lacie</a> and
<a href="http://example.com/tillie" class="sister" id="link3">Tillie</a>;
and they lived at the bottom of a well.</p>
<p class="story">...</p>
"""

# 创建 Beautiful Soup 对象,指定lxml解析器
soup = BeautifulSoup(html, "lxml")

print(soup.head.string)

print(soup.head.title.string)

运行结果

The Dormouse's story
The Dormouse's story

搜索文档树

1.find_all(name, attrs, recursive, text, **kwargs)

1)name参数

name参数可以查找所有名字为name的Tag,字符串对象会被自动忽略掉

a.传字符串

最简单的过滤器就是字符串,在搜索方法中传入一个字符串参数,Beautiful Soup会查找与字符串完整匹配所有的内容,返回一个列表。

#!/usr/bin/python3
# -*- coding:utf-8 -*-
__author__ = 'mayi'

from bs4 import BeautifulSoup

html = """
<html><head><title>The Dormouse's story</title></head>
<body>
<p class="title" name="dromouse"><b>The Dormouse's story</b></p>
<p class="story">Once upon a time there were three little sisters; and their names were
<a href="http://example.com/elsie" class="sister" id="link1"><!-- Elsie --></a>,
<a href="http://example.com/lacie" class="sister" id="link2">Lacie</a> and
<a href="http://example.com/tillie" class="sister" id="link3">Tillie</a>;
and they lived at the bottom of a well.</p>
<p class="story">...</p>
"""

# 创建 Beautiful Soup 对象,指定lxml解析器
soup = BeautifulSoup(html, "lxml")

print(soup.find_all("b"))

print(soup.find_all("a"))

运行结果

[<b>The Dormouse's story</b>]
[<a class="sister" href="http://example.com/elsie" id="link1"><!-- Elsie --></a>, <a class="sister" href="http://example.com/lacie" id="link2">Lacie</a>, <a class="sister" href="http://example.com/tillie" id="link3">Tillie</a>]

B.传正则表达式

如果传入正则表达式作为参数,Beautiful Soup会通过正则表达式match()来匹配内容

#!/usr/bin/python3
# -*- coding:utf-8 -*-
__author__ = 'mayi'

from bs4 import BeautifulSoup
import re

html = """
<html><head><title>The Dormouse's story</title></head>
<body>
<p class="title" name="dromouse"><b>The Dormouse's story</b></p>
<p class="story">Once upon a time there were three little sisters; and their names were
<a href="http://example.com/elsie" class="sister" id="link1"><!-- Elsie --></a>,
<a href="http://example.com/lacie" class="sister" id="link2">Lacie</a> and
<a href="http://example.com/tillie" class="sister" id="link3">Tillie</a>;
and they lived at the bottom of a well.</p>
<p class="story">...</p>
"""

# 创建 Beautiful Soup 对象,指定lxml解析器
soup = BeautifulSoup(html, "lxml")

for tag in soup.find_all(re.compile("^b")):
    print(tag.name)

运行结果

body
b

C.传列表

如果传入列表参数,Beautiful Soup会将与列表中任一元素匹配的内容以列表方式返回

#!/usr/bin/python3
# -*- coding:utf-8 -*-
__author__ = 'mayi'

from bs4 import BeautifulSoup

html = """
<html><head><title>The Dormouse's story</title></head>
<body>
<p class="title" name="dromouse"><b>The Dormouse's story</b></p>
<p class="story">Once upon a time there were three little sisters; and their names were
<a href="http://example.com/elsie" class="sister" id="link1"><!-- Elsie --></a>,
<a href="http://example.com/lacie" class="sister" id="link2">Lacie</a> and
<a href="http://example.com/tillie" class="sister" id="link3">Tillie</a>;
and they lived at the bottom of a well.</p>
<p class="story">...</p>
"""

# 创建 Beautiful Soup 对象,指定lxml解析器
soup = BeautifulSoup(html, "lxml")

print(soup.find_all(['a', 'b']))

2)keyword参数

#!/usr/bin/python3
# -*- coding:utf-8 -*-
__author__ = 'mayi'

from bs4 import BeautifulSoup

html = """
<html><head><title>The Dormouse's story</title></head>
<body>
<p class="title" name="dromouse"><b>The Dormouse's story</b></p>
<p class="story">Once upon a time there were three little sisters; and their names were
<a href="http://example.com/elsie" class="sister" id="link1"><!-- Elsie --></a>,
<a href="http://example.com/lacie" class="sister" id="link2">Lacie</a> and
<a href="http://example.com/tillie" class="sister" id="link3">Tillie</a>;
and they lived at the bottom of a well.</p>
<p class="story">...</p>
"""

# 创建 Beautiful Soup 对象,指定lxml解析器
soup = BeautifulSoup(html, "lxml")

print(soup.find_all(id="link1"))

运行结果

[<a class="sister" href="http://example.com/elsie" id="link1"><!-- Elsie --></a>]

3)text参数

通过text参数可以搜索文档中的字符串内容,与name参数的可选值一样,text参数接受字符串,正则表达式,列表

#!/usr/bin/python3
# -*- coding:utf-8 -*-
__author__ = 'mayi'

from bs4 import BeautifulSoup
import re

html = """
<html><head><title>The Dormouse's story</title></head>
<body>
<p class="title" name="dromouse"><b>The Dormouse's story</b></p>
<p class="story">Once upon a time there were three little sisters; and their names were
<a href="http://example.com/elsie" class="sister" id="link1"><!-- Elsie --></a>,
<a href="http://example.com/lacie" class="sister" id="link2">Lacie</a> and
<a href="http://example.com/tillie" class="sister" id="link3">Tillie</a>;
and they lived at the bottom of a well.</p>
<p class="story">...</p>
"""

# 创建 Beautiful Soup 对象,指定lxml解析器
soup = BeautifulSoup(html, "lxml")

# 字符串
print(soup.find_all(text = " Elsie "))

# 列表
print(soup.find_all(text = ["Tillie", " Elsie ", "Lacie"]))

# 正则表达式
print(soup.find_all(text = re.compile("Dormouse")))

运行结果

[' Elsie ']
[' Elsie ', 'Lacie', 'Tillie']
["The Dormouse's story", "The Dormouse's story"]

CSS选择器

这是另一种与find_all()方法有异曲同工的查找方法

  • 写CSS时,标签名不加任何修饰,类名前加.,id名前加#
  • 在这里我们也可以利用类似的方法来筛选元素,用到的方法是soup.select(),返回的类型是list

(1)通过标签名查找

#!/usr/bin/python3
# -*- coding:utf-8 -*-
__author__ = 'mayi'

from bs4 import BeautifulSoup

html = """
<html><head><title>The Dormouse's story</title></head>
<body>

<p class="story">Once upon a time there were three little sisters; and their names were
<a href="http://example.com/elsie" class="sister" id="link1"><!-- Elsie --></a>,
<a href="http://example.com/lacie" class="sister" id="link2">Lacie</a> and
<a href="http://example.com/tillie" class="sister" id="link3">Tillie</a>;
and they lived at the bottom of a well.</p>
<p class="story">...</p>
"""

# 创建 Beautiful Soup 对象,指定lxml解析器
soup = BeautifulSoup(html, "lxml")

print(soup.select("title"))

print(soup.select("b"))

print(soup.select("a"))

运行结果

[<title>The Dormouse's story</title>]
[<b>The Dormouse's story</b>]
[<a class="sister" href="http://example.com/elsie" id="link1"><!-- Elsie --></a>, <a class="sister" href="http://example.com/lacie" id="link2">Lacie</a>, <a class="sister" href="http://example.com/tillie" id="link3">Tillie</a>]

(2)通过类名查找

#!/usr/bin/python3
# -*- coding:utf-8 -*-
__author__ = 'mayi'

from bs4 import BeautifulSoup

html = """
<html><head><title>The Dormouse's story</title></head>
<body>

<p class="story">...</p>
"""

# 创建 Beautiful Soup 对象,指定lxml解析器
soup = BeautifulSoup(html, "lxml")

print(soup.select(".title"))

运行结果

[<p class="title" name="dromouse"><b>The Dormouse's story</b></p>]

(3)通过id名查找

#!/usr/bin/python3
# -*- coding:utf-8 -*-
__author__ = 'mayi'

from bs4 import BeautifulSoup

html = """
<html><head><title>The Dormouse's story</title></head>

# 创建 Beautiful Soup 对象,指定lxml解析器
soup = BeautifulSoup(html, "lxml")

print(soup.select("#link1"))

运行结果

[<p class="title" name="dromouse"><b>The Dormouse's story</b></p>]

(4)组合查找

#!/usr/bin/python3
# -*- coding:utf-8 -*-
__author__ = 'mayi'

from bs4 import BeautifulSoup

html = """

<p class="story">...</p>
"""

# 创建 Beautiful Soup 对象,指定lxml解析器
soup = BeautifulSoup(html, "lxml")

print(soup.select("p #link1"))

运行结果

[<a class="sister" href="http://example.com/elsie" id="link1"><!-- Elsie --></a>]

(5)属性查找

查找时还可以加入属性元素,属性需要用中括号括起来,注意属性和标签属于同一节点,所以中间不能加空格,否则会无法匹配到。

#!/usr/bin/python3
# -*- coding:utf-8 -*-
__author__ = 'mayi'

from bs4 import BeautifulSoup

html = """
<html><head><title>The Dormouse's story</title></head>
<body>
<p class="title" name="dromouse"><b>The Dormouse's story</b></p>
<p class="story">Once upon a time there were three little sisters; and their names were
<a href="http://example.com/elsie" class="sister" id="link1"><!-- Elsie --></a>,
<a href="http://example.com/lacie" class="sister" id="link2">Lacie</a> and
<a href="http://example.com/tillie" class="sister" id="link3">Tillie</a>;
and they lived at the bottom of a well.</p>
<p class="story">...</p>
"""

# 创建 Beautiful Soup 对象,指定lxml解析器
soup = BeautifulSoup(html, "lxml")

print(soup.select("a[class='sister']"))

运行结果

[<a class="sister" href="http://example.com/elsie" id="link1"><!-- Elsie --></a>, <a class="sister" href="http://example.com/lacie" id="link2">Lacie</a>, <a class="sister" href="http://example.com/tillie" id="link3">Tillie</a>]

同样,属性仍然可以与上述查找方式组合,不在同一节点的空格隔开,同一节点的不加空格

# 创建 Beautiful Soup 对象,指定lxml解析器
soup = BeautifulSoup(html, "lxml")

print(soup.select("p a[class='sister']"))

运行结果

[<a class="sister" href="http://example.com/elsie" id="link1"><!-- Elsie --></a>, <a class="sister" href="http://example.com/lacie" id="link2">Lacie</a>, <a class="sister" href="http://example.com/tillie" id="link3">Tillie</a>]

(6)获取内容

以上的select()方法返回的结果都是列表形式,可以遍历形式输出,然后用get_text()方法来获取它的内容

# 创建 Beautiful Soup 对象,指定lxml解析器
soup = BeautifulSoup(html, "lxml")

print(soup.select("p a[class='sister']"))

for item in soup.select("p a[class='sister']"):
    print(item.get_text())

运行结果

[<a class="sister" href="http://example.com/elsie" id="link1"><!-- Elsie --></a>, <a class="sister" href="http://example.com/lacie" id="link2">Lacie</a>, <a class="sister" href="http://example.com/tillie" id="link3">Tillie</a>]

Lacie
Tillie

注意:<!-- Elsie -->为注释内容,未输出
