Answer 1

You can try gazpacho:

Install it using pip install gazpacho

Get the HTML and make the Soup using:

from gazpacho import get, Soup

soup = Soup(get("http://ip.add.ress.here/"))  # get directly returns the html

inputs = soup.find('input', attrs={'name': 'stainfo'})  # Find all the input tags

if inputs:
    if type(inputs) is list:
        for input in inputs:
             print(input.attr.get('value'))
    else:
         print(inputs.attr.get('value'))
else:
     print('No  tag found with the attribute name="stainfo")
