What happens?

You get output None be cause you wont find your expected data in the response.

Checking response, you will get this information:

HedgeHog is right that there is an issue with requesting the page. Here are some fixes to the scraping part of the program

name_box = soup.find("h1", attrs={"class": "companyName__99a4824b"})
name = name_box.text
print(name)
price_box = soup.find("span", attrs={"class": "priceText__1853e8a5"})
price = price_box.text
print(price)

  • it sent this error: name = name_box.text AttributeError: 'NoneType' object has no attribute 'text' – Heba Allah. Hashim Jan 13 '21 at 15:28
  • Have you gotten past the issue of Bloomberg blocking you for unusual activity? If not then maybe look at this post for getting Bloomberg stock data: https://stackoverflow.com/a/58070435. Does the data have to come from scraping Bloomberg? You could also scrape from google – James Jan 17 '21 at 04:14
