Question
Getting a syntax error on line 29, which would be the following: links = parsed_body.xpath('//div[contains(@class, "b-thumb-128px")]/a/@href')] . I've written valid xpaths for the target site so I'm un-sure on why or how to fix this paticular error.
import requests
from lxml import html
from pprint import pprint
from urlparse import urljoin
from thready import threaded
import os
import math
import csv
CACHE_DIR = os.path.join(os.path.dirname(__file__), 'wanpy')
def get_links():
STARTING_URL = 'http://example.com/en/search/?h=3&k=&p=1&sid=wan'
results_per_page = 60
response = requests.get(STARTING_URL)
dive = html.fromstring(response.text)
div = dive.xpath("//div[contains(@class, 'b-tabs-utility')]")[0].text
last_pg = math.ceil(int(div.split()[-2]) / results_per_page)
BASE_URL = 'http://example.com/en/search/?h=3&k=&p=%d&sid=wanboo'
urls = []
for i in xrange(last_pg):
response = requests.get(BASE_URL % i)
parsed_body = html.fromstring(response.text)
links = parsed_body.xpath('//div[contains(@class, "b-thumb-128px")]//a/@href')]
for link in links:
urls.append(link)
threaded(urls, scrape_inventory, num_threads=10)
def scrape_inventory():
with open("data/wan.csv", "w") as f:
fieldnames = ("model", "title", "description", "price", "image","additional_image", "scrape_url")
output = csv.writer(f, delimiter="\t")
output.writerow(fieldnames)
print "scraping %s ..." % url
response = requests.get(url)
parsed_body = html.fromstring(response.text)
name = re.sub(r'\D\W\S', "", parsed_body.xpath("//h1[contains(@class, 'b-ttl-main')]/text()"))
#description = re.sub(r'\D\W\S', "", parsed_body.xpath("//div[contains(@class, 'b-container b-editable')]/text()"))
price = re.sub(r'\D\W\S', "", round(float(parsed_body.xpath("//span[contains(@class, 'b-text-xxlarge b-text-prime')]/text()")) * 2 + 15), 2)
output.writerow([name, price])
if __name__ == '__main__':
get_links()
