Extract string from tag with BeautifulSoup
<td class="flow">
<div class="heading" style="min-height: 63px;">Dornum</div>
<div class="data"><div class="value">61.5</div> MSm<sup>3</sup>/d</div>
</td>
<td class="flow">
<div class="heading" style="min-height: 63px;">Emden EMS</div>
<div class="data"><div class="value">56.43</div> MSm<sup>3</sup>/d</div>
</td>
try this out :
temp = soup.select('div[class="value"]')
result = []
for i in temp:
result.append(i.get_text())
Use soup.find_all()
to obtain a list of matching elements, then grab the text
attribute for each element:
from bs4 import BeautifulSoup
html = '''<td class="flow">
<div class="heading" style="min-height: 63px;">Dornum</div>
<div class="data"><div class="value">61.5</div> MSm<sup>3</sup>/d</div>
</td>
<td class="flow">
<div class="heading" style="min-height: 63px;">Emden EMS</div>
<div class="data"><div class="value">56.43</div> MSm<sup>3</sup>/d</div>
</td>'''
soup = BeautifulSoup(html)
data = [element.text for element in soup.find_all("div", "value")]
>>> data
[u'61.5', u'56.43']
Or, if you want them as floats:
data = [float(element.text) for element in soup.find_all("div", "value")]
>>> data
[61.5, 56.43]
