I have a pretty specific question if anyone could help that would be awesome.
I am trying to scrape the songs from https://www.billboard.com/charts/hot-100/ and I am stuck on this code.
What should I put for tag = soup.find_all('???')
to get the title ‘About Damn Time.
import requests import bs4 url = 'https://www.billboard.com/charts/hot-100/' song_title = [] res = requests.get(url) soup = bs4.BeautifulSoup(res.text, 'lxml') tag = soup.find_all('???') print(tag)

Answer
Try to select the row containers, iterate the ResultSet
get your expected text from the <h3>
:
for e in soup.find_all(attrs={'class':'o-chart-results-list-row-container'}): print(e.h3.get_text(strip=True))
Example
If you try to store different information, avoid a bunch of differnet lists. Instead use one list with dict of each item and its information.
import requests import bs4 url = 'https://www.billboard.com/charts/hot-100/' res = requests.get(url) soup = bs4.BeautifulSoup(res.text) data = [] for e in soup.find_all(attrs={'class':'o-chart-results-list-row-container'}): data.append({ 'title':e.h3.get_text(strip=True), 'author':e.h3.find_next('span').get_text(strip=True) }) data
