Hello Everyone, I'm pretty new to lxml but I pretty much thought I'd understood the basics. However, for some reason, my first attempt at using it is failing miserably.
Here's the deal: I'm parsing specific page on Craigslist ( http://joplin.craigslist.org/search/rea) and trying to retreive the text of each link on that page. When I do an "inspect element" in Firefox, a sample anchor link looks like this: <a href="/reb/5185592209.html" data-id="5185592209" class="hdrlnk">FIRST OPEN HOUSE TOMORROW 2:00pm-4:00pm!!! (8-23-15)</a> The code I'm using to try to get the link text is this: from lxml import html import requests page = requests.get("http://joplin.craigslist.org/search/rea";) titles = tree.xpath('//a[@title="hdrlnk"]/text()') print titles The last line, where it supposedly will print the text of each anchor returns []. I can't seem to figure out what I'm doing wrong. lmxml seems pretty straightforward but I can't seem to get this down. Can anyone make any suggestions? Thanks!
