Welcome to RequestSoup!

RequestSoup was created with the goal to make Python web-scraping easier. The package interfaces both requests and BeautifulSoup, making them easier to use in conjunction with one another.

Installation

The installation process for RequestSoup is pretty easy! Just enter the following command in your terminal:

pip install RequestSoup

Usage

Usage of the package is almost identical to the indiviual use of requests and BeautifulSoup. Here is an example:

import RequestSoup as scraper

r = scraper.get("https://google.com")
# The Variable r is a Request Response Object

elements = scraper.findAll("a",{"href":"/"})
#elements will now be a list of all "a" elements on the page with an herf that points to "/"

For more detailed usage check out: https://requestsoup.readthedocs.io/en/latest/

Sessions

The package also features the ability to create Request Sessions. An example of this is provided here:

import RequestSoup as scraper

session = scraper.Session()
session.get("https://google.com")
#The session object makes it much easier to work with and send multiple requests to the same website

Feedback

This is my first public python package and I would appreciate any user feedback. For feature requests or changes, feel free to create an issue or pull request on the GitHub repo.
