Python Beautiful Soup - Getting Input Value
My plan is to be able to grab the _AntiCsrfToken by using Bs4. I have this HTML where my HTML comes from and what I have written in the code is token = soup.find('input', {'name
Solution 1:
I am not sure where the error lies for you but I have made a little html file and put it on my server and I have no problem copying and pasting your code..
The only noticeable difference (if you have not done it) is that I am using requests to parse the html to BS4
I think maybe it is a parsing problem.
HTML
<html><formaction="process"><inputtype="hidden"name="_AntiCsrfToken"value="5435434354353453545"></form></html>Python:
from bs4 import BeautifulSoup as bs4
import requests
r = requests.get('http://maffaz.com/so.html')
html_bytes = r.text
soup = bs4(html_bytes, 'lxml')
token = soup.find('input', {'name':'_AntiCsrfToken'})['value']
print(token)
returns:
5435434354353453545
Also you do not need
{'name':'_AntiCsrfToken'}
so:
token = soup.find('input')['value']
Will work
Solution 2:
Maybe try using CSS selectors?
from bs4 import BeautifulSoup
html = """
<html>
<input type="hidden" name="_AntiCsrfToken" value="5435434354353453545">
</html>
"""
soup = BeautifulSoup(html, 'lxml')
csrf = soup.select_one('input[name=_AntiCsrfToken]')['value']
print(csrf)
Output: 5435434354353453545
