Web Scraping - Get To Page 2

How to I get to page two of the data sets? No matter what I do, it only returns page 1. import bs4 from urllib.request import urlopen as uReq from bs4 import BeautifulSoup as soup

Solution 1:

The site actually uses JSON to return the HTML containing all of the entries. The API for this allows a page number to be specified and also the number of records to be returned for each page, increasing this will further increase the speed.

The JSON that is returned contains 3 keys. Filter information, the results HTML and a flag to indicate if jobs were returned. This last entry can be used to signal when you have reached the end of the pages.

You might want to look at the very popular Python requests library which simplifies generating the correct URLs for you and is also fast.

import bs4
import requests
from bs4 import BeautifulSoup as soup

params = {            
    "CurrentPage" : 1,
    "RecordsPerPage" : 100,
    "SearchResultsModuleName" : "Search Results",
    "SearchFiltersModuleName" : "Search Filters",
    "SearchType" : 5,
}

myURL = 'https://jobs.collinsaerospace.com/search-jobs/results'
page = 1
more_jobs = Truewhile more_jobs:
    print(f"\nPage {page}")
    params['CurrentPage'] = page
    req = requests.get(myURL, params=params)
    json = req.json()
    page_soup = soup(json['results'], "html.parser")
    container = page_soup.findAll("section", {"id":"search-results"}, {"data-current-page":"4"})

    for child in container:
        for heading in child.find_all('h2'):
            print(heading.text)

    more_jobs = json['hasJobs']  # Did this return any jobs?
    page += 1

Solution 2:

Try the following script to get the results from whatever pages you are interested in. All you need to do is change the range as per your requirement. I could have defined a while loop to exhaust the whole content but that is not the question you asked.

import requests
from bs4 import BeautifulSoup

link = 'https://jobs.collinsaerospace.com/search-jobs/results?'params = {
'CurrentPage': '',
'RecordsPerPage': 15,
'Distance': 50,
'SearchResultsModuleName': 'Search Results',
'SearchFiltersModuleName': 'Search Filters',
'SearchType': 5
}
for page inrange(1,5):  #This iswhere you change the range to get the results from whatever page you want
    params['CurrentPage'] = page
    res = requests.get(link,params=params)
    soup = BeautifulSoup(res.json()['results'],"lxml")
    for name in soup.select("h2"):
        print(name.text)

Solution 3:

try this :

import bs4
from urllib.request import urlopen as uReq
from bs4 import BeautifulSoup as soup


for letter in range(10):

    myURL = 'https://jobs.collinsaerospace.com/search-jobs/'+ str(letter) + ' '

    uClient = uReq(myURL)
    page_html = uClient.read()
    uClient.close()

    page_soup = soup(page_html, "html.parser")
    container = page_soup.findAll("section", {"id":"search-results"}, {"data-current-page":"4"})


    for child in container:
        for heading in child.find_all('h2'):
            print(heading.text)

output: of 3 first pages:
