Get meta tag content property with BeautifulSoup and Python

Question

I am trying to use python and beautiful soup to extract the content part of the tags below:

&l         


        

Answer 1

Provide the meta tag name as the first argument to find(). Then, use keyword arguments to check the specific attributes:

title = soup.find("meta",  property="og:title")
url = soup.find("meta",  property="og:url")

print(title["content"] if title else "No meta title given")
print(url["content"] if url else "No meta url given")

The if/else checks here would be optional if you know that the title and url meta properties would always be present.
