How to Scrape Product Pages using Python grequests and BeautifulSoup

from bs4 import BeautifulSoup
import grequests
import pandas as pd
    
# STEP 1: Create List of URLs from main archive page
def get_urls():
    urls = []
    for x in range(1,3):
        urls.append(f'http://books.toscrape.com/catalogue/page-{x}.html')
        print(f'Getting page url: {x}', urls)
    return urls

# STEP 2: Async Load HTML Content from page range in step 1
def get_data(urls):
    reqs = [grequests.get(link) for link in urls]
    print('AsyncRequest object > reqs:', reqs)
    resp = grequests.map(reqs)
    print('Status Code > resp (info on page):', resp, '\n')
    return resp

# Step 3: Extract title, author, date, url, thumb from asynch variable resp containing html elements of all scraped pages.
def parse(resp):
    productlist = []

    for r in resp:
        #print(r.request.url)
        sp = BeautifulSoup(r.text, 'lxml')
        items = sp.find_all('article', {'class': 'product_pod'})
        #print('Items:\n', items)

        for item in items:
            product = {
            'title' : item.find('h3').text.strip(),
            'price': item.find('p', {'class': 'price_color'}).text.strip(),
            'single_url': 'https://books.toscrape.com/catalogue/' + item.find(('a')).attrs['href'],
            'thumbnail': 'https://books.toscrape.com/' + item.find('img', {'class': 'thumbnail'}).attrs['src'],
            }
            productlist.append(product)
            print('Added: ', product)
            
    return productlist

urls = get_urls() # (Step 1)
resp = get_data(urls) # (Step 2)
df = pd.DataFrame(parse(resp)) # (Step 3)
df.to_csv('books.csv', index=False)

The above script works as expected by asynchronously scraping the main archive page or pages for the website https://books.toscrape.com/ using grequests and BeautifulSoup.

Within the archive page it extracts the following book information:

  • title
  • price
  • single product url
  • thumbnail url

Issue

I need a way to further extract information from the single product pages for information such as UPC and associate the information back to the main array productlist.

Single Product Page Example: https://books.toscrape.com/catalogue/a-light-in-the-attic_1000/index.html

ValueError: X has 10 features, but LinearRegression is expecting 1 features as input

So, I am trying to predict the model but its throwing error like it has 10 features but it expacts only 1. So I am confused can anyone help me with it? more importantly its not working for me when my friend runs it. It works perfectly fine dose anyone know the reason about it? cv = KFold(n_splits = 10) all_loss = [] for i in range(9): # 1st for loop over polynomial orders poly_order = i X_train = make_polynomial(x, poly_order) loss_at_order = [] # initiate a set to collect loss for CV for train_index, test_index in cv.split(X_train): print('TRAIN:', train_index, 'TEST:', test_index) X_train_cv, X_test_cv = X_train[train_index], X_test[test_index] t_train_cv, t_test_cv = t[train_index], t[test_index] reg.fit(X_train_cv, t_train_cv) loss_at_order.append(np.mean((t_test_cv - reg.predict(X_test_cv))**2)) # collect loss at fold all_loss.append(np.mean(loss_at_order)) # collect loss at order plt.plot(np.log(al...

Sorting large arrays of big numeric stings

I was solving bigSorting() problem from hackerrank: Consider an array of numeric strings where each string is a positive number with anywhere from to digits. Sort the array's elements in non-decreasing, or ascending order of their integer values and return the sorted array. I know it works as follows: def bigSorting(unsorted): return sorted(unsorted, key=int) But I didnt guess this approach earlier. Initially I tried below: def bigSorting(unsorted): int_unsorted = [int(i) for i in unsorted] int_sorted = sorted(int_unsorted) return [str(i) for i in int_sorted] However, for some of the test cases, it was showing time limit exceeded. Why is it so? PS: I dont know exactly what those test cases were as hacker rank does not reveal all test cases. source https://stackoverflow.com/questions/73007397/sorting-large-arrays-of-big-numeric-stings
