[FIXED] How to use BeautifulSoup to find data of a class within a class

Issue

Hi I am trying to test my knowledge on BeautifulSoup on the website https://pythonjobs.github.io/.

I want to be able to have each listing printed out with their job roles, location, company etc.

import requests
import json
from bs4 import BeautifulSoup

URL = "https://pythonjobs.github.io/"
page = requests.get(URL)

soup = BeautifulSoup(page.content, 'html.parser')

job = soup.find(id='container')
job_elements = job.find_all(class_='job')


for job_element in job_elements:
    location = job_element.find(class_='i-globe')
    date = job_element.find('i', class_='calendar')
    length = job_element.find('i', class_='i-chair')
    company_name = job_element.find('i', class_='i-company')
    description = job_element.find('p', class_='detail')

This is the code I have but it is all returning None.

For reference here is a snippet of the HTML on the website for 1 job listing. I have found that job_element.find('info') returns all the information but there's no way to isolate each bit such as company, location etc. How do I do this? Thanks

<section class="job_list">
            <div class="job" data-order="0" data-slug="datadog-open-source-software-engineer-python" data-tags="python,django,flask,falcon,celery">
            <a class="go_button"
                href="/jobs/datadog-open-source-software-engineer-python.html">
                Read more <i class="i-right"></i>
            </a>
                    <h1><a href="/jobs/datadog-open-source-software-engineer-python.html">Open Source Software Engineer - Python</a></h1>

    <span class="info"><i class="i-globe"></i> New York City or Remote</span>
    <span class="info"><i class="i-calendar"></i> Thu, 03 Jun 2021</span>
    <span class="info"><i class="i-chair"></i> permanent</span>
    <span class="info"><i class="i-company"></i> Datadog</span>

Solution

Cause texts are not in the <i> you should use .next or .next_sibling to get them, also check your selections there is a class class_='i-calendar' not class_='calendar':

jobs=[]
for job_element in job_elements:
    jobs.append({
        'location': job_element.find(class_='i-globe').next,
        'date': job_element.find('i', class_='i-calendar').next,
        'length': job_element.find('i', class_='i-chair').next,
        'company_name': job_element.find('i', class_='i-company').next,
        'description': job_element.find('p', class_='detail').text 
    })
    
jobs

Output

  'length': ' permanent',
