scrapy的Selector选择器其实也可以用来解析,今天主要总结下css和xpath的用法,其实我个人最喜欢用css
以慕课网嵩天老师教程中的一个网页为例,python123.io/ws/demo.html
解析是提取信息的一种手段,主要提取的信息包括:标签节点、属性、文本,下面从这三个方面来分别说明
一、提取标签节点
response = ”<html><head><title>This is a python demo page</title></head>
<body>
<p class="title"><b>The demo python introduces several python courses.</b></p>
<p class="course">Python is a wonderful general-purpose programming language. You can learn Python from novice to professional by tracking the following courses:
<a href="http://www.icourse163.org/course/BIT-268001" class="py1" id="link1">Basic Python</a> and <a href="http://www.icourse163.org/course/BIT-1001870001" class="py2" id="link2">Advanced Python</a>.</p>
</body></html>”
上面这个就是网页的html信息了,比如我要提取<p>标签
使用css选择器
selector = Selector(text=response) p = selector.css('p').extract() print(p)
#['<p class="title"><b>The demo python introduces several python courses.</b></p>', '<p class="course">Python is a wonderful general-purpose programming language. You can learn Python from novice to professional by tracking the following courses: <a href="http://www.icourse163.org/course/BIT-268001" class="py1" id="link1">Basic Python</a> and <a href="http://www.icourse163.org/course/BIT-1001870001" class="py2" id="link2">Advanced Python</a>.</p>']
这样就得到了所有p节点的信息,得到的是一个列表信息,如果只想得到第一个,实际上可以使用extract_first()方法,而不是使用extract()方法
对于简单的节点查找,这样就够了,但是如果同样的节点很多,而且我要查找的节点不在第一个,这样处理就不行。解决的方法是添加限制条件,添加class、id等等限制信息
比如我想提取class=course的p节点信息,使用p[class='course'],当然,如果有其他的属性,也可以用其他属性作为限定
selecor = Selector(text=result) response = selecor.css('p[class="course"]').extract_first() print(response)
#<p class="course">Python is a wonderful general-purpose programming language. You can learn Python from novice to professional by tracking the following courses:<a href="http://www.icourse163.org/course/BIT-268001" class="py1" id="link1">Basic Python</a> and <a href="http://www.icourse163.org/course/BIT-1001870001" class="py2" id="link2">Advanced Python</a>.</p>
使用xpath
使用xpath大体思路也是一样的,只不过语法有点不同
使用xpath实现上述第一个例子
selecor = Selector(text=result)
response = selecor.xpath('//p').extract_first()
print(response)
使用xpath实现上述第二个例子
selecor = Selector(text=result)
response = selecor.xpath('//p[@class="course"]').extract_first()
print(response)
细心点的可能会发现xpath选取标签节点,就比css多了个//和@,//代表从当前节点进行选择,@后面接的是属性
二、提取属性
有时候我们需要提取属性值,比如src、href
response = ”<html><head><title>This is a python demo page</title></head>
<body>
<p class="title"><b>The demo python introduces several python courses.</b></p>
<p class="course">Python is a wonderful general-purpose programming language. You can learn Python from novice to professional by tracking the following courses:
<a href="http://www.icourse163.org/course/BIT-268001" class="py1" id="link1">Basic Python</a> and <a href="http://www.icourse163.org/course/BIT-1001870001" class="py2" id="link2">Advanced Python</a>.</p>
</body></html>”
还是这段例子,为了方便观看,我拷过来
比如我现在要提取第一个a标签的href
使用css
直接在标签后面加上::attr(href),attr代表提取的是属性,括号内的href代表我要提取的是哪种属性
selecor = Selector(text=result) response = selecor.css('a::attr(href)').extract_first() print(response)
#http://www.icourse163.org/course/BIT-268001
如果要提取特性的a标签的href属性,比如第二个a标签的href,同样可以使用限制条件
selecor = Selector(text=result) response = selecor.css('a[class="py2"]::attr(href)').extract_first() print(response)
#http://www.icourse163.org/course/BIT-1001870001
使用xpath
实现上面第一个例子
selecor = Selector(text=result)
response = selecor.xpath('//a/@href').extract_first()
print(response)
实现上面第二个例子
selecor = Selector(text=result)
response = selecor.xpath('//a[@class="py2"]/@href').extract_first()
print(response)
三、提取文本信息
response = ”<html><head><title>This is a python demo page</title></head>
<body>
<p class="title"><b>The demo python introduces several python courses.</b></p>
<p class="course">Python is a wonderful general-purpose programming language. You can learn Python from novice to professional by tracking the following courses:
<a href="http://www.icourse163.org/course/BIT-268001" class="py1" id="link1">Basic Python</a> and <a href="http://www.icourse163.org/course/BIT-1001870001" class="py2" id="link2">Advanced Python</a>.</p>
</body></html>”
提取第一个a标签的文本
使用css选择器
只需要在标签后面加上::text,至于怎么选择标签参照上面
selecor = Selector(text=result) response = selecor.css('a::text').extract_first() print(response)
#Basic Python
选择特定标签的文本,比如第二个a标签文本,同样是加一个限制条件就好
selecor = Selector(text=result) response = selecor.css('a[class="py2"]::text').extract_first() print(response)
#Advanced Python
使用xpath来实现
首先是第一个例子,使用//a选择到a节点,再/text()选择到文本信息
selecor = Selector(text=result)
response = selecor.xpath('//a/text()').extract_first()
print(response)
实现第二个例子,添加xpath限制条件的时候前面一定不要忘记加@,而且text后面要加()
selecor = Selector(text=result)
response = selecor.xpath('//a[@class="py2"]/text()').extract_first()
print(response)
最后总结下:对于提取而言,xpath多了/和@符号,即使在添加限制条件时,xpath也需要在限制的属性前加@,所以这也是我喜欢css的原因,因为我懒。
