Alternatively to the regex-based approach, you can parse the javascript code using slimit module, that builds an Abstract Syntax Tree and gives you a way of getting all assignments and putting them into the dictionary:

from bs4 import BeautifulSoup
from slimit import ast
from slimit.parser import Parser
from slimit.visitors import nodevisitor


data = """
<html>
    <head>
        <title>My Sample Page</title>
        <script>
        $.ajax({
            type: "POST",
            url: 'http://www.example.com',
            data: {
                email: 'abc@g.com',
                phone: '9999999999',
                name: 'XYZ'
            }
        });
        </script>
    </head>
    <body>
        <h1>What a wonderful world</h1>
    </body>
</html>
"""

# get the script tag contents from the html
soup = BeautifulSoup(data)
script = soup.find('script')

# parse js
parser = Parser()
tree = parser.parse(script.text)
fields = {getattr(node.left, 'value', ''): getattr(node.right, 'value', '')
          for node in nodevisitor.visit(tree)
          if isinstance(node, ast.Assign)}

print fields

Prints:

{u'name': u"'XYZ'", u'url': u"'http://www.example.com'", u'type': u'"POST"', u'phone': u"'9999999999'", u'data': '', u'email': u"'abc@g.com'"}

Among other fields, there are email, name and phone that you are interested in.

Hope that helps.

You can get the script tag contents via BeautifulSoup and then apply a regex to get the desired data.

Working example (based on what you've described in the question):

import re
from bs4 import BeautifulSoup

data = """
<html>
    <head>
        <title>My Sample Page</title>
        <script>
        $.ajax({
            type: "POST",
            url: 'http://www.example.com',
            data: {
                email: 'abc@g.com',
                phone: '9999999999',
                name: 'XYZ'
            }
        });
        </script>
    </head>
    <body>
        <h1>What a wonderful world</h1>
    </body>
</html>
"""

soup = BeautifulSoup(data)
script = soup.find('script')

pattern = re.compile("(\w+): '(.*?)'")
fields = dict(re.findall(pattern, script.text))
print fields['email'], fields['phone'], fields['name']

Prints:

abc@g.com 9999999999 XYZ

I don't really like the solution, since that regex approach is really fragile. All sorts of things can happen that would break it. I still think there is a better solution and we are missing a bigger picture here. Providing a link to that specific site would help a lot, but it is what it is.

UPD (fixing the code OP provided):

soup = BeautifulSoup(data, 'html.parser')
script = soup.html.find_next_sibling('script', text=re.compile(r"\$\(document\)\.ready"))

pattern = re.compile("(\w+): '(.*?)'")
fields = dict(re.findall(pattern, script.text))
print fields['email'], fields['phone'], fields['name']

prints:

abcd@gmail.com 9999999999 Shamita Shetty
