如何在python中抓取网页上的嵌入脚本

Question

例如，我有网页http://www.amazon.com/dp/1597805483。

我想用xpath来刮这句话Of all the sports played across the globe, none has more curses and superstitions than baseball, America’s national pastime.

page = requests.get(url)
tree = html.fromstring(page.text)
feature_bullets = tree.xpath('//*[@id="iframeContent"]/div/text()')
print feature_bullets

上面的代码没有返回任何内容。原因是浏览器解释的xpath与源代码不同。但我不知道如何从源代码中获取 xpath。

构建您正在抓取的页面涉及很多事情。

至于描述，具体来说，底层的HTML是在一个javascript函数内部构建的：

<script type="text/javascript">

    P.when('DynamicIframe').execute(function (DynamicIframe) {
        var BookDescriptionIframe = null,
                bookDescEncodedData = "%3Cdiv%3E%3CB%3EA%20Fantastic%20Anthology%20Combining%20the%20Love%20of%20Science%20Fiction%20with%20Our%20National%20Pastime%3C%2FB%3E%3CBR%3E%3CBR%3EOf%20all%20the%20sports%20played%20across%20the%20globe%2C%20none%20has%20more%20curses%20and%20superstitions%20than%20baseball%2C%20America%26%238217%3Bs%20national%20pastime.%3Cbr%3E%3CBR%3E%3CI%3EField%20of%20Fantasies%3C%2FI%3E%20delves%20right%20into%20that%20superstition%20with%20short%20stories%20written%20by%20several%20key%20authors%20about%20baseball%20and%20the%20supernatural.%20%20Here%20you%27ll%20encounter%20ghostly%20apparitions%20in%20the%20stands%2C%20a%20strangely%20charming%20vampire%20double-play%20combination%2C%20one%20fan%20who%20can%20call%20every%20shot%20and%20another%20who%20can%20see%20the%20past%2C%20a%20sad%20alternate-reality%20for%20the%20game%27s%20most%20famous%20player%2C%20unlikely%20appearances%20on%20the%20field%20by%20famous%20personalities%20from%20Stephen%20Crane%20to%20Fidel%20Castro%2C%20a%20hilariously%20humble%20teenage%20phenom%2C%20and%20much%20more.%20In%20this%20wonderful%20anthology%20are%20stories%20from%20such%20award-winning%20writers%20as%3A%3CBR%3E%3CBR%3EStephen%20King%20and%20Stewart%20O%26%238217%3BNan%3Cbr%3EJack%20Kerouac%3CBR%3EKaren%20Joy%20Fowler%3CBR%3ERod%20Serling%3CBR%3EW.%20P.%20Kinsella%3CBR%3EAnd%20many%20more%21%3CBR%3E%3CBR%3ENever%20has%20a%20book%20combined%20the%20incredible%20with%20great%20baseball%20fiction%20like%20%3CI%3EField%20of%20Fantasies%3C%2FI%3E.%20This%20wide-ranging%20collection%20reaches%20from%20some%20of%20the%20earliest%20classics%20from%20the%20pulp%20era%20and%20baseball%27s%20golden%20age%2C%20all%20the%20way%20to%20material%20appearing%20here%20for%20the%20first%20time%20in%20a%20print%20edition.%20Whether%20you%20love%20the%20game%20or%20just%20great%20fiction%2C%20these%20stories%20will%20appeal%20to%20all%2C%20as%20the%20writers%20in%20this%20anthology%20bring%20great%20storytelling%20of%20the%20strange%20and%20supernatural%20to%20the%20plate%2C%20inning%20after%20inning.%3CBR%3E%3C%2Fdiv%3E",
                bookDescriptionAvailableHeight,
                minBookDescriptionInitialHeight = 112,
                options = {};
    ...

</script>

这里的想法是获取脚本标签的文本，使用正则表达式提取描述值，取消引用 HTML，使用 lxml.html 解析它并获取 .text_content()：

import re
from urlparse import unquote

from lxml import html
import requests

url = "http://rads.stackoverflow.com/amzn/click/1597805483"
page = requests.get(url, headers={'User-Agent': 'Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh; Intel Mac OS X 10_10_0) AppleWebKit/537.36 (KHTML, like Gecko) Chrome/38.0.2125.111 Safari/537.36'})
tree = html.fromstring(page.content)

script = tree.xpath('//script[contains(., "bookDescEncodedData")]')[0]
match = re.search(r'bookDescEncodedData = "(.*?)",', script.text)
if match:
    description_html = html.fromstring(unquote(match.group(1)))
    print description_html.text_content()

类似的解决方案，但使用BeautifulSoup：

import re
from urlparse import unquote

from bs4 import BeautifulSoup
import requests

url = "http://rads.stackoverflow.com/amzn/click/1597805483"
page = requests.get(url, headers={'User-Agent': 'Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh; Intel Mac OS X 10_10_0) AppleWebKit/537.36 (KHTML, like Gecko) Chrome/38.0.2125.111 Safari/537.36'})
soup = BeautifulSoup(page.content)

script = soup.find('script', text=lambda x:'bookDescEncodedData' in x)
match = re.search(r'bookDescEncodedData = "(.*?)",', script.text)
if match:
    description_html = BeautifulSoup(unquote(match.group(1)))
    print description_html.text

或者，您可以采用高级方法并在selenium 的帮助下使用真正的浏览器：

from selenium import webdriver

url = "http://rads.stackoverflow.com/amzn/click/1597805483"

driver = webdriver.Firefox()
driver.get(url)

iframe = driver.find_element_by_id('bookDesc_iframe')
driver.switch_to.frame(iframe)

print driver.find_element_by_id('iframeContent').text

driver.close()
