I am trying to scrape the proxy list of this site . However I can't find the the value inside the textarea tag. Here is my code: import requests from bs4 import BeautifulSoup r = requests.get("https://openproxy.space/list/azneonYD26") soup = BeautifulSoup(r.text, "html.parser") results = soup.find('section', class_='data') rows =results.find('textarea') print(rows)

Actually, you can scrape that <script> tag and extract all proxy data (contry, count, all the IPs) with a bit of regex magic and some chained replace().

Here's how:

import json
import re

import requests
from bs4 import BeautifulSoup

page = requests.get("https://openproxy.space/list/azneonYD26").text
scripts = BeautifulSoup(page, "html.parser").find_all("script")
proxy_script = re.search(r"LIST\",data:(.*),code", scripts[2].string).group(1)

proxy_data = json.loads(
    (
        re.sub(r":([a-z])", r':"\1"', proxy_script)
        .replace("code", '"code"')
        .replace("count", '"count"')
        .replace("items", '"items"')
        .replace("active", '"active"')
    )
)

for proxy in proxy_data:
    print(proxy["code"], proxy["count"], proxy["items"][0])

Output:

If you want to view everything just print out the proxy_data variable.
