[FIXED] How to pull row from an html table by python

Issue

I'm trying to pull a number that is in a td, but this td has repeated classes, and the table doesn't contain class or tr, how can I do to get this number(1,00)?

this is the html:

my code:

import requests
from bs4 import BeautifulSoup as BS

sample_website = ('https://www.gov.br/receitafederal/pt-br/assuntos/orientacao-tributaria/pagamentos-e-parcelamentos/taxa-de-juros-selic#Taxa_de_Juros_Selic')

page=requests.get(sample_website)

soup = BS(page.content, "html.parser")

for row in soup.select('table')[1:]:
    taxa = soup.select('tr')[5:]
    valor_especifico = row.find_all('td')[5:]

print(valor_especifico)

This is output:

Solution

If I understand you correctly you want to select value 1,00 from the table Taxa de Juros Selic Acumulada Mensalmente:

import requests
from bs4 import BeautifulSoup


url = "https://www.gov.br/receitafederal/pt-br/assuntos/orientacao-tributaria/pagamentos-e-parcelamentos/taxa-de-juros-selic#Taxa_de_Juros_Selic"
soup = BeautifulSoup(requests.get(url).content, "html.parser")

# select correct table:
table = soup.select_one("#Selicmensalmente").find_next("table")

# select actual row (that contains "maio")
current_row = soup.select_one("tr:-soup-contains(maio)")

# get all non-empty values:
values = [s for td in current_row if (s := td.get_text(strip=True))]

# print last one:
print(values[-1])

Prints:

1,00
