Attributes & Contents of Multiple Elements

All the methods discussed in the previous chapter can be applied to all elements with a specific tag (i.e., to the result of the .find_all() method). However, it's essential to keep in mind that the outcome of applying the .find_all() method is a list, so you must use attributes and methods for each element individually. Just as we did previously, you should employ a for loop in this context as well. For example, let's retrieve all the attributes of all <div> elements.


              12345678910111213
            
# Importing libraries
from bs4 import BeautifulSoup
from urllib.request import urlopen

# Reading web page
url = "https://codefinity-content-media.s3.eu-west-1.amazonaws.com/18a4e428-1a0f-44c2-a8ad-244cd9c7985e/jesus.html"
page = urlopen(url)
html = page.read().decode("utf-8")

# Reading HTML with BeautifulSoup
soup = BeautifulSoup(html, 'html.parser')
for div in soup.find_all('div'):
  print(div.attrs)

The same approach applies to extracting text. For instance, let's obtain all the text from all the <p> elements.


              12345678910111213
            
# Importing libraries
from bs4 import BeautifulSoup
from urllib.request import urlopen

# Reading web page
url = "https://codefinity-content-media.s3.eu-west-1.amazonaws.com/18a4e428-1a0f-44c2-a8ad-244cd9c7985e/jesus.html"
page = urlopen(url)
html = page.read().decode("utf-8")

# Reading HTML with BeautifulSoup
soup = BeautifulSoup(html, 'html.parser')
for p in soup.find_all('p'):
  print(p.get_text())
