To start, python is my first language I am learning.
I am scraping a website for rent prices across my city and I am using BeautifulSoup to get the price data, but I am unable to get the value of this

tag.

Here is the tag:

<p><strong class="hidden show-mobile-inline">Monthly Rent: </strong>2,450 +</p>

Here is my code:

text = soup.find_all("div", {"class", "plan-group rent"})
for item in text:
    rent = item.find_all("p")
    for price in rent:
        print(price.string)

I also tried:

text = soup.find_all("div", {"class", "plan-group rent"})
for item in text:
    rent = item.find_all("p")
    for price in rent:
        items = price.find_all("strong")
        for item in items:
            print('item.string')

and that works to print out "Monthly Rent:" but I don’t understand why I can’t get the actual price. The above code shows me that the monthly rent is in the strong tag, which means that the p tag only contains the price which is what I want.

>Solution :

As mentioned by @kyrony there are two children in your <p> – Cause you select the <strong> you will only get on of the texts.

You could use different approaches stripped_strings:

list(soup.p.stripped_strings)[-1]

or contents

soup.p.contents[-1]

or with recursive argument

soup.p.find(text=True, recursive=False)

Example

from bs4 import BeautifulSoup
html = '''<p><strong class="hidden show-mobile-inline">Monthly Rent: </strong>2,450 +</p>'''
soup = BeautifulSoup(html)

soup.p.contents[-1]
