[FIXED] Python -BeautifulSoup - How to target nth child and print the text

Issue

I'm trying to scrape the "Biggest Gainers" list of coins on https://coinmarketcap.com/

How do I access the nth child (Biggest Gainers) in the div class_ = 'sc-1rmt1nr-0 sc-1rmt1nr-2 iMyvIy'

I managed to get the data from the "Trending" section but having trouble targeting the "Biggest Gainers" top 3 text items.

I get AttributeError: 'NoneType' object has no attribute 'p'

from bs4 import BeautifulSoup
import requests


source = requests.get('https://coinmarketcap.com/').text

soup = BeautifulSoup(source, 'lxml')

section = soup.find(class_='sc-1rmt1nr-0 sc-1rmt1nr-2 iMyvIy')

#List the top 3 Gainers 
for top_gainers in section.find_all(class_='sc-16r8icm-0 sc-1uagfi2-0 bdEGog sc-1rmt1nr-1 eCWTbV')[1]:
    top_gainers = top_gainers.find(class_='sc-1eb5slv-0 iworPT')
    top_coins = top_gainers.p.text
    print(top_coins)

Solution

You can use :nth-of-type to locate the "Biggest Gainers" parent div:

import requests
from bs4 import BeautifulSoup as soup
d = soup(requests.get('https://coinmarketcap.com/').text, 'html.parser')
bg = d.select_one('div:nth-of-type(2).sc-16r8icm-0.sc-1uagfi2-0.bdEGog.sc-1rmt1nr-1.eCWTbV')
data = [{'rank':i.select_one('span.rank').text, 
         'name':i.select_one('p.sc-1eb5slv-0.iworPT').text,
          'change':i.select_one('span.sc-27sy12-0.gLZJFn').text}
        for i in bg.select('div.sc-1rmt1nr-0.sc-1rmt1nr-4.eQRTPY')]

Output:

[{'rank': '1', 'name': 'Tenset', 'change': '1308.72%'}, {'rank': '2', 'name': 'Burn To Earn', 'change': '421.82%'}, {'rank': '3', 'name': 'Aigang', 'change': '329.63%'}]
