How to find elements by class in BeautifulSoup

To find elements by class in BeautifulSoup in Python, you can use the .select() method and pass the class name as an argument.

For example, if you have a BeautifulSoup object named soup, you can find elements with the class my-class like this:

main.py

from bs4 import BeautifulSoup
soup = BeautifulSoup(html_doc, 'html.parser')

soup.select(".my-class")

This will return a list of all elements with the class my-class. You can then iterate over this list to work with the individual elements.

For example:

main.py

for element in soup.select(".my-class"): # do something with each element

You can also use the .select_one() method to find a single element with a given class, if you know that there is only one element on the page with that class.

For example:

main.py

element = soup.select_one(".my-class")

This will return the first element with the class my-class, or None if no such element exists.
