[FIXED] How to fix 'None' result whilst using bs4 for web scraping

Issue

Here I have a simple code that is not seeming to do what I am trying to do. The goal of this code is to retrieve the value of the stock that the user inputs.

ticker = input("What stock would you like to track?: (enter the ticker) ")
r = requests.get(f"https://www.marketwatch.com/investing/stock/{ticker}?mod=search_symbol").text
webpage = BeautifulSoup(r, 'html.parser')
locate = webpage.find('bq-quote', {'class': 'value'})
print(locate)

Although the value of the stock is inside the class value it does not seem to be returning anything. web.find_all() just returns '[]' so I am not sure what I am doing wrong here.

Solution

This works.

from bs4 import BeautifulSoup
import requests

ticker = input("What stock would you like to track?: (enter the ticker) ")
r = requests.get(f"https://www.marketwatch.com/investing/stock/{ticker}?mod=search_symbol",).text
webpage = BeautifulSoup(r, "html.parser")
locate = webpage.find(class_="value")
stock_price = locate.text
print(stock_price)
