Question

I am working on fetching the data from an <iframe>.
Then I want to get the data from <iframe> using lxml.

I did not found any resource from which we can fetch <iframe> from lxml.

Can anyone help me to let me know how can I achieve it?

Answer 1

You can extract src attribute from iframe, then fetch data from url by urllib and finally parse this data again using lxml.

Example code (not tested):

from lxml.etree import fromstring
data = urllib.urlopen(url) # fetching url with iframe
tree = fromstring(data.read()) # parsing tree to get src attribute
src_url = tree.cssselect("iframe").attrib['src']
data = urllib.urlopen(src_url) # open iframe src url
tree = fromstring(data.read()) # parsing iframe tree
