Getting class name from span tag in python

Question

I am new to data scraping and I am using BeautifulSoup to grap some data from a webpage. I'm trying to get the r100 in the span tag. I know r100 is the class name, but this data is required. Is it possible?

my code

st2=st1.find("span",attrs={"class":"rating"})
print(st2)

out

<span class="rating r100"></span>

Extract the class then index. It is a multi-valued class with 2 values i.e. 1 at index 0 and the other at index 1.

st2['class'][1]

One you have <span class="rating r100"></span> in st2. You can use text

Code st2.text

Also, you can use get_text() which will allow you to pass more arguments such as

(separator, strip, types)

When I write, I get it as a printout, unfortunately `st2.get_text() ` out `..` – Aygün Çalışkan Apr 04 '21 at 02:24
Try text instead. And look at this https://stackoverflow.com/questions/35496332/differences-between-text-and-get-text – Buddy Bob Apr 04 '21 at 02:25
