python - Retrive html tag content using beautifulSoup

Question

I'm trying to get the plain text of a website article using python. I've heard about the BeautifulSoup library, but how to retrieve a specific tag in html page?

This is what I have done:

base_url = 'http://www.nytimes.com'
r = requests.get(base_url)
soup = BeautifulSoup(r.text, "html.parser")

Answer 1

Look this:

import bs4 as bs
import requests as rq

html = rq.get('site.com')

s = bs.BeautifulSoup(html.text, features="html.parser")
div = s.find('div', {'class': 'yourclass'}) # or id

print(str(div.text)) # print text
