How to get href with Python BeautifulSoup?

To get href with Python BeautifulSoup, we can use the find_all method.

For instance, we write

from BeautifulSoup import BeautifulSoup

html = '''<a href="some_url">next</a>
<span class="class"><a href="another_url">later</a></span>'''

soup = BeautifulSoup(html)

for a in soup.find_all('a', href=True):
    print(a['href'])

to create soup object with BeautifulSoup class called with the html string.

Then we find the a elements with the href attribute returned by calling find_all with 'a' and href set to True.

Then we print out the href attribute values of the a elements in the loop.
