Retreiving Data From A Website
I'm terribly sorry if this is unacceptable or answered elsewhere, but I've spent the last hour and a half looking for information on it, and have come up with nothing I can use. I'
Solution 1:
You have the site
variable pointed to the return value of urllib.request.urlopen
. In the next line, you call site.read()
, which returns a string. In short, site
is not referencing a string; it's referencing a response object which can be used to get the string content.
Since you already know site.read()
returns a string, why not capture that as a variable and use it?
content = site.read()
print(content)
Solution 2:
Instead of printing the results of site.read()
, store it in a variable, which will be a string containing all the text of the page, which you can then do with whatever you need to.
