[FIXED] Use BeautifulSoup to return attribute

Issue

I am trying to get an attribute of an element but I got None for that element Here's my code

import requests
from bs4 import BeautifulSoup as bs

res = requests.get('https://services.paci.gov.kw/card/inquiry?lang=ar&serviceType=2')
#print(res.text)
with open('Output.txt', 'w') as f:
    f.write(str(res.text))


soup = bs(res.text, 'html.parser')
vToken = soup.find('input', attrs={'name': '__RequestVerificationToken'}, first=True)
print(vToken)
print(vToken['value'])

I checked the Output.txt file and I found that attribute implemented but couldn't get its attribute

Solution

Skip the first=True argument from your find(), it will throw:

 TypeError: 'NoneType' object is not subscriptable

Example:

import requests
from bs4 import BeautifulSoup as bs

res = requests.get('https://services.paci.gov.kw/card/inquiry?lang=ar&serviceType=2')

soup = bs(res.text, 'html.parser')
vToken = soup.find('input', attrs={'name': '__RequestVerificationToken'})

print(vToken['value'])

Output:
