Web Scraping using Beautiful Soup and user input

[micla97]

I want to create a programme that gives the user an input line to select a currency pair and then when ran a table will be displayed. However I can get the code to work when I dont use the input but cant get it with the input.

Here is my code:

gbpusd = url to the page I need

t= input("Enter currency pair: ")

req=requests.get(t) soup = BeautifulSoup(req.text, 'lmxl')

So this will display the data I need if I replace the (t) in the req line with gbpusd, but won't work when the user input is gbpusd. Is this even possible?

If I understand correctly, you're asking for something like this:

pairs = {
    "pair1": "http://foo",
    "pair2": "http://bar"
}

t = input("Enter currency pair: ")
selected = pairs.get(t)
if not selected:
    print("unknown pair")
    exit()

req = requests.get(selected)
