In this section, we are going to see an example of a list of dance forms from Wikipedia. We are going to list all classical Indian dances. For that, create a extract_from_wikipedia.py script and write the following content in it:

import requests
from bs4 import BeautifulSoup

page_result = requests.get('https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Portal:History')
parse_obj = BeautifulSoup(page_result.content, 'html.parser')

h_obj = parse_obj.find(class_='hlist noprint')
h_obj_a_content = h_obj.find_all('a')

print(h_obj)
print(h_obj_a_content)

Run the script and you will get the following output:

student@ubuntu:~/work$ python3 extract_from_wikipedia.py
Output:
<div class="hlist noprint" id="portals-browsebar" style="text-align: center;">

<dd><a href="/wiki/Portal:Contents/Portals#People_and_self" title="Portal:Contents/Portals">People</a></dd>
In the preceding example, we extracted the content from Wikipedia. In this example also, we extracted the content from class as well as tag.
