How to only scrape link from webpage – Python

My goal is to get each link

My code prints the href/link, however it also prints other junk which i do not want.

I only want the href/

from selenium import webdriver
from bs4 import BeautifulSoup
import pandas as pd
import time
import requests
driver = webdriver.Chrome()
productlink=[]
for x in range (1,3):
    driver.get(f'https://meetinglibrary.asco.org/browse-meetings/2021%20Gastrointestinal%20Cancers%20Symposium?page={x}')
    time.sleep(3)
    page_source = driver.page_source
    soup = BeautifulSoup(page_source,'html.parser')
    productlist=soup.find_all('div',class_='session')
    for item in productlist:
        for link in item.find_all('a',class_='session__button ng-star-inserted',href=True):
            print(link)

Answer

Because href=True means get those tags with href attribute.There are still Tag. To get the href, you also need to use .get("href").Since there is only one button in each session tag, you could use find instead of find_all,and don’t forget to join the baseURL.Try code below:

from selenium import webdriver
from bs4 import BeautifulSoup
import pandas as pd
import time
import requests
driver = webdriver.Chrome()
productlink=[]
baseURL = 'https://meetinglibrary.asco.org'
for x in range (1,3):
    driver.get(f'https://meetinglibrary.asco.org/browse-meetings/2021%20Gastrointestinal%20Cancers%20Symposium?page={x}')
    time.sleep(3)
    page_source = driver.page_source
    soup = BeautifulSoup(page_source,'html.parser')
    productlist=soup.find_all('div',class_='session')
    for item in productlist:
        print(baseURL + item.find('a',class_='session__button ng-star-inserted',href=True).get("href"))

Print:
