Use of next sibling function in beautiful soup

This recipe helps you to understand the use of the next sibling function. The next sibling is used to find the next element of the given element.

Recipe Objective - Use of ".next_sibling" function in beautiful soup?

The ".next_sibling" is provided by the beautiful soup (bs4) python library to find out the next element of the given element.

 

Required Library - BeautifulSoup (bs4)

BeautifulSoup(bs4) is a Python web scraping library for pulling the data from HTML and XML files.

We can use the ".next_sibling" to navigate between tags that are on the same level of the tree.

This function is used to find the next element of the given element.

Steps to use this function:-

  1. Import necessary modules.
  2. Load an HTML document.
  3. Pass the HTML document into the Beautifulsoup() function.
  4. Find any tag or element in the document or HTML.
  5. Use .next_sibling iterator to print  the next element. e.g - soup.title.next_sibling

Example:-

import requests
from bs4 import BeautifulSoup as bs

# load the projectpro webpage content
r = requests.get('https://www.projectpro.io/')

# convert to beautiful soup
soup = bs(r.content)

# printing our web page
print(soup.prettify())

.next_sibling function:-

soup.title.next_sibling
