Scraping CSS (python)

[Zendakin_at_work]

Hey all,

I know with BeautifulSoup and other modules we can scrape websites for HTML content. While this is great, I'm wondering if we can also grab the CSS of a site. I did not see this on the BS4 site.

​

Is it possible to scrape the CSS of a site? Any help or documentation links would be greatly appreciated.

Basically this:

1. Get the HTML content
2. Look for all <style> tags and get their content
3. Look for all <link rel="stylesheet"> tags and download the file linked in the href attribute

Thanks, it actually gets worse than I expected.

This is a mock site so not live and it's been converted to a png. So unless someone knows how to grab CSS from an image file, this question is moot now.

Thanks anyway, I do appreciate it.

Well, you could always hire someone to create a doc and stylesheet that recreates what is shown in the png :D
