Hi Python Tutors, I am currently able to strip down to the string I want. However, I have problems with the JSON script and I am not sure how to slice it into a dictionary.
import urllib import json import requests from bs4 import BeautifulSoup url = 'https://bochk.etnet.com.hk/content/bochkweb/eng/quote_transaction_daily_history.php?code=6881\ &time=F&timeFrom=090000&timeTo=160000&turnover=S&sessionId=44c99b61679e019666f0570db51ad932&volMin=0&turnoverMin=0' def web_scraper(url): response = requests.get(url) html = response.content soup = BeautifulSoup(html, 'lxml') stock1 = soup.findAll('script')[4].string stock2 = stock1.split() stock3 = stock2[3] # is stock3 sufficient to process as JSON or need further cleaning?? text = json.dumps(stock3) print(text) web_scraper(url) If it is possible, please give me some pointers. Thank you Regards, Henry _______________________________________________ Tutor maillist - Tutor@python.org To unsubscribe or change subscription options: https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/tutor
