extract informaton

[JayakumarMalla]

H Ashaywalke,

can you explain in detail about this

def extract_information(string):
string.replace (" ", "+")
query = string
soup = BeautifulSoup(urlopen("https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/" + query), "html.parser")
#creates soup and opens URL for Google. Begins search with site:wikipedia.com so only wikipedia
#links show up. Uses html parser.
for item in soup.find_all('div', attrs={'id' : "mw-content-text"}):
print(item.find('p').get_text())
print('\n')

Hey, Hi!

So this part of the code is a scrapper. What this does is that, it'll extract information about a given skillset which is the input and it'll print the first paragraph of it's Wikipedia article. So let's say the skill set you found is sklearn so what it'll do is, it'll print the first paragraph of sklearn's Wikipedia article.

@ashaywalke there is also an unofficial Wikipedia API available. You can use that for faster processing: https://pypi.org/project/wikipedia/
