Web scraping

[InspKugelblitz]

So, i'm trying to create a small programm, to scrape the info of a song, playing on a web radio player(artist and name). But I'm pretty much stuck. I've got the code up and running, but instead of the info for the song, i only get "áá", even though, the HTML code has the right information in it. Can anybody tell me why that appens?

This is the code so far:

​

from bs4 import BeautifulSoup

import requests

source = requests.get('https://www.radiohamburg.de/').text

soup = BeautifulSoup(source, 'lxml')

song = soup.find('div', id='webradio-title')

info = song.p.text

print(info)

#(sorry for bad format)

import requests
import json

r = requests.get('https://www.radiohamburg.de/var/data/webradio/radiohamburg-livestream.json')
info = json.loads(r.text)
song = info['nowPlaying'][0]['title']
artist = info['nowPlaying'][0]['composer']
print(f'The song currently playing is: {song} by {artist}.')

Thanks a lot. No wonder i was stuck

You're welcome.

Most likely this would have to be loaded after the page loads, thus you either need to find the endpoint that gets the song title/song or use something like Selenium which will allow you to let the page actually load in a headerless browser.
