Why Isn't Find_all() Returning Complete Results?
Trying to retrieve the 4 stats boxes on a Sports Reference page. The 4 stats boxes (two teams, basic & advanced stats) can be found under 'tfoot'. However, the following code
Solution 1:
Two of the tables are hidden inside an HTML comment, these can all be extracted as follows:
import requests
from bs4 import BeautifulSoup, Comment
r = requests.get("https://www.sports-reference.com/cbb/boxscores/2016-11-11-villanova.html")
soup = BeautifulSoup(r.content, 'html.parser')
boxes = list(soup.find_all("tfoot"))
for comment in soup.find_all(string=lambda text:isinstance(text, Comment)):
if'tfoot'in comment:
hidden_soup = BeautifulSoup(comment, 'html.parser')
boxes.extend(list(hidden_soup.find_all("tfoot")))
data = []
for box in boxes:
for tr in box.find_all('tr'):
data.append([td.text for td in tr.find_all('td')])
for row indata:
print row
Giving you the following data:
[u'200', u'19', u'65', u'.292', u'13', u'33', u'.394', u'6', u'32', u'.188', u'4', u'7', u'.571', u'4', u'22', u'26', u'12', u'3', u'0', u'13', u'15', u'48']
