Hey guys.
I was trying to create a list of all the add-on apps that exist for grasshopper in food4rhino, and since I’ve been doing some python coding lately (by creating simple things directly in Grasshopper) I thought, I might as well just write a short code, “a webcrawler” in pycharm to get the information all at once, and not manually 1 by 1.
I was looking to get, Title, Description and Link.
I was looking at this tutorial how to write a spider/webcrawler but something seems to not work, and I literally have no Idea what.
here is the code, if someone can help, thanks a lot.
import requests
from bs4 import BeautifulSoup
def addons_spider(max_pages):
page = 0
while page <= max_pages:
url = “http://www.food4rhino.com/browse?searchText=&page=0%2C” + str(page)
source_code = requests.get(url)
plain_text = source_code.text
soup = BeautifulSoup(plain_text)
for link in soup.findAll(‘a’, {‘class’: ‘f4r_list_content_title’}):
href = link.get(‘href’)
print(href)
page += 1
addons_spider(5)
