Complete changelog
Beautiful Soup’s support for Python 2 was discontinued on December 31,
2020: one year after the sunset date for Python 2 itself. From this
point onward, new Beautiful Soup development will exclusively target
Python 3. The final release of Beautiful Soup 4 to support Python 2
was 4. 9. 3.
If you use Beautiful Soup as part of your professional work, please consider a
Tidelift subscription.
This will support many of the free software projects your organization
depends on, not just Beautiful Soup.
If you use Beautiful Soup for personal projects, the best way to say
thank you is to read
Tool Safety, a zine I
wrote about what Beautiful Soup has taught me about software
development.
The bs4/doc/ directory contains full documentation in Sphinx
format. Run make html in that directory to create HTML
documentation.
Beautiful Soup supports unit test discovery from the project root directory:
$ nosetests
$ python3 -m unittest discover -s bs4

Beautiful Soup – Crummy

Beautiful Soup: We called him Tortoise because he taught us.
[ Download | Documentation | Hall of Fame | For enterprise | Source | Changelog | Discussion group | Zine]
You didn’t write that awful page. You’re just trying to get some
data out of it. Beautiful Soup is here to help. Since 2004, it’s been
saving programmers hours or days of work on quick-turnaround
screen scraping projects.
Beautiful Soup is a Python library designed for quick turnaround
projects like screen-scraping. Three features make it powerful:
Beautiful Soup provides a few simple methods and Pythonic idioms
for navigating, searching, and modifying a parse tree: a toolkit for
dissecting a document and extracting what you need. It doesn’t take
much code to write an application
Beautiful Soup automatically converts incoming documents to
Unicode and outgoing documents to UTF-8. You don’t have to think
about encodings, unless the document doesn’t specify an encoding and
Beautiful Soup can’t detect one. Then you just have to specify the
original encoding.
Beautiful Soup sits on top of popular Python parsers like lxml and html5lib, allowing you
to try out different parsing strategies or trade speed for
flexibility.
Beautiful Soup parses anything you give it, and does the tree
traversal stuff for you. You can tell it “Find all the links”, or
“Find all the links of class externalLink”, or “Find all the
links whose urls match “”, or “Find the table heading that’s
got bold text, then give me that text. ”
Valuable data that was once locked up in poorly-designed websites
is now within your reach. Projects that would have taken hours take
only minutes with Beautiful Soup.

Download Beautiful Soup
The current release is Beautiful Soup
4. 9. 3 (October 3, 2020). You can install Beautiful Soup 4 with
pip install beautifulsoup4.
In Debian and Ubuntu, Beautiful Soup is available as the
python-bs4 package (for Python 2) or the
python3-bs4 package (for Python 3). In Fedora it’s
available as the python-beautifulsoup4 package.
Beautiful Soup is licensed under the MIT license, so you can also
download the tarball, drop the bs4/ directory into almost
any Python application (or into your library path) and start using it
immediately. (If you want to do this under Python 3, you will need to
manually convert the code using 2to3. )
Beautiful Soup 4 works on both Python 2 (2. 7+) and Python
3. Support for Python 2 will be discontinued on or after December 31,
2020—one year after the Python 2 sunsetting date.
Beautiful Soup 3
Beautiful Soup 3 was the official release line of Beautiful Soup
from May 2006 to March 2012. It does not support Python 3 and it will
be discontinued on or after December 31, 2020—one year after the
Python 2 sunsetting date. If you have any active projects using
Beautiful Soup 3, you should migrate to Beautiful Soup 4 as part of
your Python 3 conversion.
Here’s
the Beautiful Soup 3 documentation.
The current and hopefully final release of Beautiful Soup 3 is 3. 2. 2 (October 5,
2019). It’s the BeautifulSoup package on pip. It’s also
available as python-beautifulsoup in Debian and Ubuntu,
and as python-BeautifulSoup in Fedora.
Once Beautiful Soup 3 is discontinued, these package names will be available for use by a more recent version of Beautiful Soup.
Beautiful Soup 3, like Beautiful Soup 4, is supported through Tidelift.
Hall of Fame
Over the years, Beautiful Soup has been used in hundreds of
different projects. There’s no way I can list them all, but I want to
highlight a few high-profile projects. Beautiful Soup isn’t what makes
these projects interesting, but it did make their completion easier:
“Movable
Type”, a work of digital art on display in the lobby of the New
York Times building, uses Beautiful Soup to scrape news feeds.
Jiabao Lin’s DXY-COVID-19-Crawler
uses Beautiful Soup to scrape a Chinese medical site for information
about COVID-19, making it easier for researchers to track the spread
of the virus. (Source: “How open source software is fighting COVID-19”)
Reddit uses Beautiful Soup to parse
a page that’s been linked to and find a representative image.
Alexander Harrowell uses Beautiful Soup to track the business
activities of an arms merchant.
The developers of Python itself used Beautiful Soup to migrate the Python
bug tracker from Sourceforge to Roundup.
The Lawrence Journal-World
uses Beautiful Soup to gather
statewide election results.
The NOAA’s Forecast
Applications Branch uses Beautiful Soup in TopoGrabber, a script for
downloading “high resolution USGS datasets. ”
If you’ve used Beautiful Soup in a project you’d like me to know
about, please do send email to me or the discussion
group.

Beautiful Soup – Installation – Tutorialspoint

As BeautifulSoup is not a standard python library, we need to install it first. We are going to install the BeautifulSoup 4 library (also known as BS4), which is the latest one.
To isolate our working environment so as not to disturb the existing setup, let us first create a virtual environment.
Creating a virtual environment (optional)
A virtual environment allows us to create an isolated working copy of python for a specific project without affecting the outside setup.
Best way to install any python package machine is using pip, however, if pip is not installed already (you can check it using – “pip –version” in your command or shell prompt), you can install by giving below command −
Linux environment
$sudo apt-get install python-pip
Windows environment
To install pip in windows, do the following −
Download the from or from the github to your computer.
Open the command prompt and navigate to the folder containing file.
Run the following command −
>python
That’s it, pip is now installed in your windows machine.
You can verify your pip installed by running below command −
>pip –version
pip 19. 2. 3 from c:\users\yadur\appdata\local\programs\python\python37\lib\site-packages\pip (python 3. 7)
Installing virtual environment
Run the below command in your command prompt −
>pip install virtualenv
After running, you will see the below screenshot −
Below command will create a virtual environment (“myEnv”) in your current directory −
>virtualenv myEnv
Screenshot
To activate your virtual environment, run the following command −
>myEnv\Scripts\activate
In the above screenshot, you can see we have “myEnv” as prefix which tells us that we are under virtual environment “myEnv”.
To come out of virtual environment, run deactivate.
(myEnv) C:\Users\yadur>deactivate
C:\Users\yadur>
As our virtual environment is ready, now let us install beautifulsoup.
Installing BeautifulSoup
As BeautifulSoup is not a standard library, we need to install it. We are going to use the BeautifulSoup 4 package (known as bs4).
Linux Machine
To install bs4 on Debian or Ubuntu linux using system package manager, run the below command −
$sudo apt-get install python-bs4 (for python 2. x)
$sudo apt-get install python3-bs4 (for python 3. x)
You can install bs4 using easy_install or pip (in case you find problem in installing using system packager).
$easy_install beautifulsoup4
$pip install beautifulsoup4
(You may need to use easy_install3 or pip3 respectively if you’re using python3)
Windows Machine
To install beautifulsoup4 in windows is very simple, especially if you have pip already installed.
>pip install beautifulsoup4
So now beautifulsoup4 is installed in our machine. Let us talk about some problems encountered after installation.
Problems after installation
On windows machine you might encounter, wrong version being installed error mainly through −
error: ImportError “No module named HTMLParser”, then you must be running python 2 version of the code under Python 3.
error: ImportError “No module named ” error, then you must be running Python 3 version of the code under Python 2.
Best way to get out of above two situations is to re-install the BeautifulSoup again, completely removing existing installation.
If you get the SyntaxError “Invalid syntax” on the line ROOT_TAG_NAME = u’[document]’, then you need to convert the python 2 code to python 3, just by either installing the package −
$ python3 install
or by manually running python’s 2 to 3 conversion script on the bs4 directory −
$ 2to3-3. 2 -w bs4
Installing a Parser
By default, Beautiful Soup supports the HTML parser included in Python’s standard library, however it also supports many external third party python parsers like lxml parser or html5lib parser.
To install lxml or html5lib parser, use the command −
$apt-get install python-lxml
$apt-get insall python-html5lib
$pip install lxml
$pip install html5lib
Generally, users use lxml for speed and it is recommended to use lxml or html5lib parser if you are using older version of python 2 (before 2. 7. 3 version) or python 3 (before 3. 2) as python’s built-in HTML parser is not very good in handling older version.
Running Beautiful Soup
It is time to test our Beautiful Soup package in one of the html pages (taking web page –, you can choose any-other web page you want) and extract some information from it.
In the below code, we are trying to extract the title from the webpage −
from bs4 import BeautifulSoup
import requests
url = ”
req = (url)
soup = BeautifulSoup(, “”)
print()
Output

One common task is to extract all the URLs within a webpage. For that we just need to add the below line of code −
for link in nd_all(‘a’):
print((‘href’))
….
/about/
Similarly, we can extract useful information using beautifulsoup4.
Now let us understand more about “soup” in above example.
