Python爬虫库BeautifulSoup的介绍与简单使用实例

(编辑：jimmy 日期: 2024/11/19 浏览：3 次 )

一、介绍

BeautifulSoup库是灵活又方便的网页解析库，处理高效，支持多种解析器。利用它不用编写正则表达式即可方便地实现网页信息的提取。

Python常用解析库

解析器使用方法优势劣势 Python标准库 BeautifulSoup(markup, “html.parser”) Python的内置标准库、执行速度适中、文档容错能力强 Python 2.7.3 or 3.2.2)前的版本中文容错能力差 lxml HTML 解析器 BeautifulSoup(markup, “lxml”) 速度快、文档容错能力强需要安装C语言库 lxml XML 解析器 BeautifulSoup(markup, “xml”) 速度快、唯一支持XML的解析器需要安装C语言库 html5lib BeautifulSoup(markup, “html5lib”) 最好的容错性、以浏览器的方式解析文档、生成HTML5格式的文档速度慢、不依赖外部扩展

二、快速开始

给定html文档，产生BeautifulSoup对象

from bs4 import BeautifulSoup
html_doc = """
<html><head><title>The Dormouse's story</title></head>
<body>
<p class="title"><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" rel="external nofollow" rel="external nofollow" rel="external nofollow" rel="external nofollow" rel="external nofollow" rel="external nofollow" rel="external nofollow" class="sister" id="link1">Elsie</a>,
<a href="http://example.com/lacie" rel="external nofollow" rel="external nofollow" rel="external nofollow" rel="external nofollow" rel="external nofollow" rel="external nofollow" class="sister" id="link2">Lacie</a> and

and they lived at the bottom of a well.</p>

<p class="story">...</p>
"""
soup = BeautifulSoup(html_doc,'lxml')

输出完整文本

print(soup.prettify())

"""
from bs4 import BeautifulSoup
soup = BeautifulSoup(html, 'lxml')#传入解析器：lxml
print(soup.title)#选择了title标签
print(type(soup.title))#查看类型
print(soup.head)

获取标签名称

from bs4 import BeautifulSoup
soup = BeautifulSoup(html, 'lxml')#传入解析器：lxml
print(soup.title.name)

获取标签属性

from bs4 import BeautifulSoup
soup = BeautifulSoup(html, 'lxml')#传入解析器：lxml
print(soup.p.attrs['name'])#获取p标签中，name这个属性的值

获取标签内容

print(soup.p.string)

标签嵌套选择

子节点和子孙节点

"""


from bs4 import BeautifulSoup
soup = BeautifulSoup(html, 'lxml')#传入解析器：lxml
print(soup.p.contents)#获取指定标签的子节点，类型是list

另一个方法，child：

from bs4 import BeautifulSoup
soup = BeautifulSoup(html, 'lxml')#传入解析器：lxml
print(soup.p.children)#获取指定标签的子节点的迭代器对象
for i,children in enumerate(soup.p.children):#i接受索引，children接受内容
	print(i,children)

输出结果与上面的一样，多了一个索引。注意，只能用循环来迭代出子节点的信息。因为直接返回的只是一个迭代器对象。

获取子孙节点：

from bs4 import BeautifulSoup
soup = BeautifulSoup(html, 'lxml')#传入解析器：lxml
print(soup.p.descendants)#获取指定标签的子孙节点的迭代器对象
for i,child in enumerate(soup.p.descendants):#i接受索引，child接受内容
	print(i,child)

父节点和祖先节点

parent

from bs4 import BeautifulSoup
soup = BeautifulSoup(html, 'lxml')#传入解析器：lxml
print(soup.a.parent)#获取指定标签的父节点

parents

from bs4 import BeautifulSoup
soup = BeautifulSoup(html, 'lxml')#传入解析器：lxml
print(list(enumerate(soup.a.parents)))#获取指定标签的祖先节点

兄弟节点

from bs4 import BeautifulSoup
soup = BeautifulSoup(html, 'lxml')#传入解析器：lxml
print(list(enumerate(soup.a.next_siblings)))#获取指定标签的后面的兄弟节点
print(list(enumerate(soup.a.previous_siblings)))#获取指定标签的前面的兄弟节点

标准选择器

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

可根据标签名、属性、内容查找文档。

name

html='''
<div class="panel">
  <div class="panel-heading">
    <h4>Hello</h4>
  </div>
  <div class="panel-body">
    <ul class="list" id="list-1">
      <li class="element">Foo</li>
      <li class="element">Bar</li>
      <li class="element">Jay</li>
    </ul>
    <ul class="list list-small" id="list-2">
      <li class="element">Foo</li>
      <li class="element">Bar</li>
    </ul>
  </div>
</div>
'''
from bs4 import BeautifulSoup
soup = BeautifulSoup(html, 'lxml')
print(soup.find_all('ul'))#查找所有ul标签下的内容
print(type(soup.find_all('ul')[0]))#查看其类型

下面的例子就是查找所有ul标签下的li标签：

from bs4 import BeautifulSoup
soup = BeautifulSoup(html, 'lxml')
for ul in soup.find_all('ul'):
  print(ul.find_all('li'))

attrs（属性）

通过属性进行元素的查找

html='''
<div class="panel">
  <div class="panel-heading">
    <h4>Hello</h4>
  </div>
  <div class="panel-body">
    <ul class="list" id="list-1" name="elements">
      <li class="element">Foo</li>
      <li class="element">Bar</li>
      <li class="element">Jay</li>
    </ul>
    <ul class="list list-small" id="list-2">
      <li class="element">Foo</li>
      <li class="element">Bar</li>
    </ul>
  </div>
</div>
'''


from bs4 import BeautifulSoup
soup = BeautifulSoup(html, 'lxml')
print(soup.find_all(attrs={'id': 'list-1'}))#传入的是一个字典类型，也就是想要查找的属性
print(soup.find_all(attrs={'name': 'elements'}))

查找到的是同样的内容，因为这两个属性是在同一个标签里面的。

特殊类型的参数查找：

from bs4 import BeautifulSoup
soup = BeautifulSoup(html, 'lxml')
print(soup.find_all(id='list-1'))#id是个特殊的属性，可以直接使用
print(soup.find_all(class_='element')) #class是关键字所以要用class_

text

根据文本内容来进行选择：

html='''
<div class="panel">
  <div class="panel-heading">
    <h4>Hello</h4>
  </div>
  <div class="panel-body">
    <ul class="list" id="list-1">
      <li class="element">Foo</li>
      <li class="element">Bar</li>
      <li class="element">Jay</li>
    </ul>
    <ul class="list list-small" id="list-2">
      <li class="element">Foo</li>
      <li class="element">Bar</li>
    </ul>
  </div>
</div>
'''
from bs4 import BeautifulSoup
soup = BeautifulSoup(html, 'lxml')
print(soup.find_all(text='Foo'))#查找文本为Foo的内容，但是返回的不是标签

所以说这个text在做内容匹配的时候比较方便，但是在做内容查找的时候并不是太方便。

方法

find

find用法和findall一模一样，但是返回的是找到的第一个符合条件的内容输出。

ind_parents()， find_parent()

find_parents()返回所有祖先节点，find_parent()返回直接父节点。

find_next_siblings() ,find_next_sibling()

find_next_siblings()返回后面的所有兄弟节点，find_next_sibling()返回后面的第一个兄弟节点

find_previous_siblings(),find_previous_sibling()

find_previous_siblings()返回前面所有兄弟节点,find_previous_sibling()返回前面第一个兄弟节点

find_all_next(),find_next()

find_all_next()返回节点后所有符合条件的节点，find_next()返回后面第一个符合条件的节点

find_all_previous(),find_previous()

find_all_previous()返回节点前所有符合条件的节点，find_previous()返回前面第一个符合条件的节点

CSS选择器通过select()直接传入CSS选择器即可完成选择

html='''
<div class="panel">
  <div class="panel-heading">
    <h4>Hello</h4>
  </div>
  <div class="panel-body">
    <ul class="list" id="list-1">
      <li class="element">Foo</li>
      <li class="element">Bar</li>
      <li class="element">Jay</li>
    </ul>
    <ul class="list list-small" id="list-2">
      <li class="element">Foo</li>
      <li class="element">Bar</li>
    </ul>
  </div>
</div>
'''
from bs4 import BeautifulSoup
soup = BeautifulSoup(html, 'lxml')
print(soup.select('.panel .panel-heading'))#.代表class，中间需要空格来分隔
print(soup.select('ul li')) #选择ul标签下面的li标签
print(soup.select('#list-2 .element')) #'#'代表id。这句的意思是查找id为"list-2"的标签下的，class=element的元素
print(type(soup.select('ul')[0]))#打印节点类型

再看看层层嵌套的选择：

from bs4 import BeautifulSoup
soup = BeautifulSoup(html, 'lxml')
for ul in soup.select('ul'):
	print(ul.select('li'))

获取属性

from bs4 import BeautifulSoup
soup = BeautifulSoup(html, 'lxml')
for ul in soup.select('ul'):
  print(ul['id'])# 用[ ]即可获取属性
  print(ul.attrs['id'])#另一种写法

获取内容

from bs4 import BeautifulSoup
soup = BeautifulSoup(html, 'lxml')
for li in soup.select('li'):
  print(li.get_text())

用get_text（）方法就能获取内容了。

总结

推荐使用lxml解析库，必要时使用html.parser

标签选择筛选功能弱但是速度快建议使用find()、find_all() 查询匹配单个结果或者多个结果

如果对CSS选择器熟悉建议使用select()

记住常用的获取属性和文本值的方法
