Question

I use this code:

from bs4 import BeautifulSoup

parser = BeautifulSoup(remote_data)
parse_data = parser.find_all('a')
for atag_data in parse_data:
    URL_list = atag_data.get('href')

When i try to split URL_list to array:

array = str.split(URL_list)

I give this 3 arrays:

['index1.html']
['example.exe']
['document.doc']

But i need only one array like:

['index1.html','example.exe','document.doc']

Any suggestions please?

Answer 1

You don’t get an array – its a list!
Also, you should avoid naming variables like builtins.

Regarding your question:

from bs4 import BeautifulSoup
parser = BeautifulSoup(remote_data)
link_list = [a['href'] for a in parser.find_all('a')]
