[FIXED] Extracting HTML tags Beautifulsoup

Issue

I am trying to figure out how to extract the only the title from the following article HTML attribute:

<a href="/wiki/Jammu_and_Kashmir_(union_territory)" title="Jammu and Kashmir (union territory)">Jammu and Kashmir< /a>

Currently I am able to extract all the whole article tag using:

print(soup.find_all('a'))

But how do I only extract the title in the attribute?

Solution

To access the title, use:

print(soup.find('a')['title'])

This will work only if there's one a on the page. Otherwise, find the tag by it's text:

print(soup.find(lambda t: t.name == 'a' and 'Jammu and Kashmir' in t.text)['title'])

Edit

To get all titles:

for tag in soup.find_all(lambda t: t.name == 'a' and 'title' in t.attrs):
    print(tag['title'])
