BeautifulSoup: object of type 'Response' has no len()

Question

Issue: when I try to execute the script, BeautifulSoup(html, ...) gives the error message \"TypeError: object of type \'Response\' has no len(). I tried passing

Answer 1

If you're using requests.get('https://example.com') to get the HTML, you should use requests.get('https://example.com').text.

Answer 2

import requests
from urllib.request import urlopen
from bs4 import BeautifulSoup
import re

url = "https://fortnitetracker.com/profile/all/DakshRungta123"
html = requests.get(url)

soup = BeautifulSoup(html)


title = soup.text
print(title.text)

Answer 3

you are getting only response code in 'response' and always use browser header for security otherwise you will face many issues

Find header in debugger console network section 'header' UserAgent

Try

import requests
from bs4 import BeautifulSoup

from fake_useragent import UserAgent

url = 'http://www.google.com'
headers = {'User-Agent': 'Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh; Intel Mac OS X 10_13_6) 
AppleWebKit/537.36 (KHTML, like Gecko) Chrome/71.0.3578.98 Safari/537.36'}

response = requests.get(quote_page, headers=headers).text

soup = BeautifulSoup(response, 'html.parser')
print(soup.prettify())

Answer 4

It worked for me:

soup = BeautifulSoup(requests.get("your_url").text)

Now, this code below is better (with lxml parser):

import requests
from bs4 import BeautifulSoup

soup = BeautifulSoup(requests.get("your_url").text, 'lxml')

Answer 5

you should use .text to get content of response

import  requests
url = 'http://www ... '
response = requests.get(url)
print(response.text)

or use with soap

import  requests
from bs4 import BeautifulSoup

url = 'http://www ... '
response = requests.get(url)
msg = response.text
print(BeautifulSoup(msg,'html.parser'))

Answer 6

You are getting response.content. But it return response body as bytes (docs). But you should pass str to BeautifulSoup constructor (docs). So you need to use the response.text instead of getting content.
