Using python requests and beautiful soup to pull text

14,045

Ok now we have code, it is as simple as:

import requests
from bs4 import BeautifulSoup


soup = BeautifulSoup(requests.get("https://e-com.secure.force.com/adidasUSContact/").content, "html.parser")

key = soup.select_one("#ncaptchaRecaptchaId")["data-sitekey"]

data-sitekey is an attribute, not a css class so you just need to extract it from the element, you can find the element by it's id as above.

You could also use the class name:

# css selector
key = soup.select_one("div.g-recaptcha")["data-sitekey"]
# regular find using class name
key = soup.find("div",class_="g-recaptcha")["data-sitekey"]
