Website section not appearing with BeautifulSoup
1
I'm trying to webscrape the abstract part of this website:
from bs4 import BeautifulSoup
urlLink = 'https://www.cfapubs.org/doi/abs/10.2469/faj.v74.n4.2'
page_response = requests.get(page_link, timeout=5, verify=False, headers={'User-Agent': 'Mozilla/5.0'})
soup2 = BeautifulSoup(page_response.content, 'html.parser')
and when I search for:
soup2.find_all("div", {"class": "abstractSection"})
I do not get anything, whereas this is the part i'm interested in.
Any idea?

I'm unsure where you found this page_link to make use of. Try the below approach to get the content you wanna parse.
from bs4 import BeautifulSoup
import requests
urlLink = 'https://www.cfapubs.org/doi/abs/10.2469/faj.v74.n4.2'
page_response = requests.get(urlLink,headers={'User-Agent':'Mozilla/5.0'})
soup = BeautifulSoup(page_response.content, 'html.parser')
name = soup.find(class_="hlFld-ContribAuthor").find("a").text
abstract = soup.find(class_="abstractSection").find("p").text
print(f'Name : {name}nAbstract : {abstract}')
If you want to use selector then try:
from bs4 import BeautifulSoup
import requests
urlLink = 'https://www.cfapubs.org/doi/abs/10.2469/faj.v74.n4.2'
page_response = requests.get(urlLink,headers={'User-Agent':'Mozilla/5.0'})
soup = BeautifulSoup(page_response.content, 'html.parser')
name = soup.select_one(".hlFld-ContribAuthor a").text
abstract = soup.select_one(".abstractSection p").text
print(f'Name : {name}nAbstract : {abstract}')
Output:
Name : Charles D. Ellis, CFA
Abstract : One of the consequences of the shift in corporate retirement plans from defined benefit to defined contribution is widespread retirement insecurity. Although most people in the top one-third of economic affluence will be fine, for the other two-thirds—particularly the bottom one-third—the problem is a serious threat. We can prevent this painful future if we act sensibly and soon by raising the alarm with our corporate and government leaders.
Finally, if you do not wish to see the gap between text within abstract then replace the line with abstract = ' '.join(soup.find(class_="abstractSection").find("p").text.split()).
