[FIXED] "TypeError: object of type 'Response' has no len()"

Issue

When I try to execute the code

BeautifulSoup(html, ...)

it gives the error message

TypeError: object of type 'Response' has no len()

I tried passing the actual HTML as a parameter, but it still doesn't work.

import requests

url = 'http://vineoftheday.com/?order_by=rating'
response = requests.get(url)
html = response.content

soup = BeautifulSoup(html, "html.parser")

Solution

You are getting response.content. But it return response body as bytes (docs). But you should pass str to BeautifulSoup constructor (docs). So you need to use the response.text instead of getting content.
