[FIXED] BeautifulSoup findall get text but return empty

Issue

I am scraping a website and would like to find specific content based on style, so I do

soup.find_all('style')

and it does return some result/text, but once I use .text soup_name.find_all('style')[0].text to extract the text, it returns an empty string

What can I do to extract the text in the style tag?

Solution

Try .contents[0]:

from bs4 import BeautifulSoup


html_doc = """\
<style>
    th { border: none; }
</style>"""

soup = BeautifulSoup(html_doc, "html5lib")

print(soup.find("style").contents[0])

Prints:

    th { border: none; }
