webscraping arxiv.org with python
I scraped Arxiv.org with python and a few other modules. I print all article titles and ask user for which title they want, then I send then to the link.
import requests
import urllib.request
import time
from bs4 import BeautifulSoup
import webbrowser
url = 'https://arxiv.org/'
response = requests.get(url)
soup = BeautifulSoup(response.text, "html.parser")
one_a_tag = soup.findAll('a')[12]
print(one_a_tag.text)
link = 'arxiv.org'+one_a_tag['href']
n=1
counter = 0
y={}
for i in soup.findAll('a'):
counter+=1
if counter > 12 and counter<237:
print(str(n))
print(i.text)
y.update({i.text:i['href']})
n+=1
z=input('what article title do you want to view')
print(y[z])
website='arxiv.org'+y[z]
webbrowser.open_new(website)
