asyncio web scraping: fetching multiple urls with aiohttp - doable?


Question

hello dear all,

 

i am fairly new to bs4for that matter, but im trying to scrape a little chunk of information from a site:

but it keeps printing "None" as if the title, or any tag if i replace it, doesn't exists.

 

The project consits of two parts:

 

the looping-part: (which seems to be pretty straightforward). the parser-part: where i have some issues - see below. I'm trying to loop through an array of URLs and scrape the data below from a list of wordpress-plugins. See my loop below-

 

 

from bs4 import BeautifulSoup

import requests

#array of URLs to loop through, will be larger once I get the loop working correctly

plugins = ['https://wordpress.org/plugins/wp-job-manager', 'https://wordpress.org/plugins/ninja-forms']

 

 

this can be done like so

 




ttt = page_soup.find("divclass":"plugin-meta"})
text_nodes = [node.text.strip() for node in ttt.ul.findChildren('li-1:2]]

 

the Output of text_nodes:

 

['Version: 1.9.5.12', 'Active installations: 10,000+', 'Tested up to: 5.6 ']

 

but if we want to fetch the data of all the wordpress-plugins and subesquently sort them to show the -let us say - latest 50 updated plugins. This would be a intereting task

 

- first of all we need to fetch the urls

- then we fetch the iformation and have to sort out the _newest_

    • Meta says you'll soon be getting ads on WhatsApp by David Uzondu No, the headline is not clickbait. WhatsApp is getting ads. For years, the messaging app has been the golden child, bought by Meta for $19 billion back in 2014 and left mostly untouched. That long, ad-free holiday is officially over. Your private chats with friends and family are safe for now, as the ads will not appear there. Instead, they will be sandwiched between Status updates, just like you already see them in Instagram Stories. Apart from ads in Statuses, Meta is also letting people pay to promote their Channels. This means businesses and creators can pay to get their broadcast channels discovered by more users. A few will even be able to charge for subscriptions to their channels for exclusive content. The company says it will not take a fee from these subscriptions at first, but that is probably not going to last forever. Meta is a business, after all, not a charity. Meta has tried to calm everyone down by saying your personal chats and calls will remain encrypted and untouched. The company claims it only uses general information like your country and language, plus the channels you follow, to figure out which ads to show you. However, if you have linked your WhatsApp to Meta's Account Center, then your ad preferences from Facebook and Instagram will follow you. This entire plan certainly excited Wall Street. After the news broke, Meta's stock climbed 2.8% in pre-market trading, as investors salivated over the prospect of finally monetizing WhatsApp's 2 billion+ users. Ads in messaging apps are not new at all. Take Telegram, for example. The app shows sponsored messages in large public channels, but it also gives users a way out. For a monthly fee, you can get Telegram Premium, and all those ads disappear (plus a bunch of advanced paid features). Maybe, in the future, WhatsApp will offer a similar premium service for people willing to pay to escape the ads.
    • To say that it's build in America, they can build it somewhere else and just put the back cover on the smartphone in America et put it in a box. On some country they put just the last screw to finish the product
    • "The T1 phone will be designed and built in America." I was looking for this information and wasn't disappointed! 👍🏻
