How to extract links from elements?

Question

I am trying to extract the links of every individual member but I am not getting output:

from bs4 import BeautifulSoup
import requests

r = requests.get('https://www.asklaila.com/search/Delhi-NCR/-/doctors/')
soup = BeautifulSoup(r.text,'lxml')

for link in soup.find_all('h2',class_='resultTitle'):
    link1 = link.find('a')
    print link1['href']

You need request url with header param. more details

Where resultContent top doctors in Delhi-NCR result div class, cardWrap every doctor cards div class.

from bs4 import BeautifulSoup
import requests

headers = {'User-Agent': 'Custom user agent'}
r = requests.get('https://www.asklaila.com/search/Delhi-NCR/-/doctors/',headers=headers)
soup = BeautifulSoup(r.text,'lxml')
resultContentArray = soup.find('div',{'class':'resultContent'}).find_all("div",{'class':'cardWrap'})

for rr in resultContentArray:
    title = rr.find('h2',{'class':'resultTitle'})
    link = rr.find("a",href=True)
    if link is not None:
        print(link['href'])

Use:

html.parser
custom header User-agent
soup.select feature

from bs4 import BeautifulSoup
import requests

headers = {'User-Agent': 'Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh; Intel Mac OS X 10_11_5) AppleWebKit/537.36 (KHTML, like Gecko) Chrome/50.0.2661.102 Safari/537.36'}
r = requests.get('https://www.asklaila.com/search/Delhi-NCR/-/doctors/', headers=headers)
soup = BeautifulSoup(r.content, 'html.parser')

for link in soup.select('h2[class="resultTitle"] > a'):
    print(link['href'])

The output:

The server is looking for User-Agent in header to prevent users from scraping the content you could set request headers as a work around.

from bs4 import BeautifulSoup
import requests

headers = dict()
headers['User-Agent']= "Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 10.0; Win64; x64; rv:67.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/67.0"


r = requests.get('https://www.asklaila.com/search/Delhi-NCR/-/doctors/',headers=headers)
soup = BeautifulSoup(r.text,'lxml')
# with open('h.html','w') as w:
#     w.write(soup.text)
for link in soup.find_all('h2',class_='resultTitle'):
    link1 = link.find('a')
    print link1['href']

Using **SoupStrainer

import httplib2
from bs4 import BeautifulSoup, SoupStrainer

http = httplib2.Http()
status, response = http.request('https://www.asklaila.com/search/Delhi-NCR/-/doctors/')

for link in BeautifulSoup(response, 'html.parser', parse_only=SoupStrainer('a')):
    if link.has_attr('href'):
        print(link['href'])

There are twenty correct links to retrieve for members. A concise way is to use css selector of parent class with child combinator to get a tag within

from bs4 import BeautifulSoup
import requests

r = requests.get('https://www.asklaila.com/search/Delhi-NCR/-/doctors/',headers= {'User-Agent' : 'Mozilla/5.0'})
soup = BeautifulSoup(r.content,'lxml')
links = [item['href'] for item in soup.select('.resultTitle > a')]
print(links)
