Requests-HTML: HTML Parsing for Humans™

This library intends to make parsing HTML (e.g. scraping the web) as
simple and intuitive as possible.
If you’re interested in financially supporting Kenneth Reitz open source, consider visiting this link. Your support helps tremendously with sustainability of motivation, as Open Source is no longer part of my day job.
When using this library you automatically get:

Full JavaScript support!
CSS Selectors (a.k.a jQuery-style, thanks to PyQuery).
XPath Selectors, for the faint at heart.
Mocked user-agent (like a real web browser).
Automatic following of redirects.
Connection–pooling and cookie persistence.
The Requests experience you know and love, with magical parsing abilities.
Async Support

Tutorial & Usage
Make a GET request to ‘python.org’, using Requests:
>>> from requests_html import HTMLSession
>>> session = HTMLSession()

>>> r = session.get('https://python.org/')
Try async and get some sites at the same time:
>>> from requests_html import AsyncHTMLSession
>>> asession = AsyncHTMLSession()

>>> async def get_pythonorg():
... r = await asession.get('https://python.org/')

>>> async def get_reddit():
... r = await asession.get('https://reddit.com/')

>>> async def get_google():
... r = await asession.get('https://google.com/')

>>> result = session.run(get_pythonorg, get_reddit, get_google)
Grab a list of all links on the page, as–is (anchors excluded):
>>> r.html.links

Select an element with a CSS Selector:
>>> about = r.html.find('#about', first=True)
Grab an element’s text contents:
>>> print(about.text)
About
Applications
Quotes
Getting Started
Help
Python Brochure
Introspect an Element’s attributes:
>>> about.attrs
{'id': 'about', 'class': ('tier-1', 'element-1'), 'aria-haspopup': 'true'}
Render out an Element’s HTML:
>>> about.html
'<li aria-haspopup="true" class="tier-1 element-1 " id="about">\n<a class="" href="/about/" title="">About</a>\n<ul aria-hidden="true" class="subnav menu" role="menu">\n<li class="tier-2 element-1" role="treeitem"><a href="/about/apps/" title="">Applications</a></li>\n<li class="tier-2 element-2" role="treeitem"><a href="/about/quotes/" title="">Quotes</a></li>\n<li class="tier-2 element-3" role="treeitem"><a href="/about/gettingstarted/" title="">Getting Started</a></li>\n<li class="tier-2 element-4" role="treeitem"><a href="/about/help/" title="">Help</a></li>\n<li class="tier-2 element-5" role="treeitem"><a href="http://brochure.getpython.info/" title="">Python Brochure</a></li>\n</ul>\n</li>'
Select Elements within Elements:
>>> about.find('a')
[<Element 'a' href='/about/' title='' class=''>, <Element 'a' href='/about/apps/' title=''>, <Element 'a' href='/about/quotes/' title=''>, <Element 'a' href='/about/gettingstarted/' title=''>, <Element 'a' href='/about/help/' title=''>, <Element 'a' href='http://brochure.getpython.info/' title=''>]
Search for links within an element:
>>> about.absolute_links
{'http://brochure.getpython.info/', 'https://www.python.org/about/gettingstarted/', 'https://www.python.org/about/', 'https://www.python.org/about/quotes/', 'https://www.python.org/about/help/', 'https://www.python.org/about/apps/'}
Search for text on the page:
>>> r.html.search('Python is a {} language')[0]
programming
More complex CSS Selector example (copied from Chrome dev tools):
>>> r = session.get('https://github.com/')
>>> sel = 'body > div.application-main > div.jumbotron.jumbotron-codelines > div > div > div.col-md-7.text-center.text-md-left > p'

>>> print(r.html.find(sel, first=True).text)
GitHub is a development platform inspired by the way you work. From open source to business, you can host and review code, manage projects, and build software alongside millions of other developers.
XPath is also supported:
>>> r.html.xpath('/html/body/div[1]/a')
[<Element 'a' class=('px-2', 'py-4', 'show-on-focus', 'js-skip-to-content') href='#start-of-content' tabindex='1'>]

JavaScript Support
Let’s grab some text that’s rendered by JavaScript:
>>> r = session.get('http://python-requests.org')

>>> r.html.render()

>>> r.html.search('Python 2 will retire in only {months} months!')['months']
'<time>25</time>'
Or you can do this async also:
>>> r = asession.get('http://python-requests.org/')

>>> await r.html.arender()

>>> r.html.search('Python 2 will retire in only {months} months!')['months']
'<time>25</time>'
Note, the first time you ever run the render() method, it will download
Chromium into your home directory (e.g. ~/.pyppeteer/). This only happens
once.

Using without Requests
You can also use this library without Requests:
>>> from requests_html import HTML
>>> doc = """<a href='https://httpbin.org'>"""

>>> html = HTML(html=doc)
>>> html.links
{'https://httpbin.org'}

Installation
$ pipenv install requests-html
✨🍰✨
Only Python 3.6 is supported.
