Write a Beautiful Soup parser for HTML I paste
Writes a Beautiful Soup parser for a pasted HTML sample that returns your named fields as a list of records, with safe handling of missing elements.
Task:
Write a Python function using Beautiful Soup that parses the HTML sample below and returns one record per [repeating item].
Context:
The fields I need per record are [field one], [field two] and [field three]. The HTML comes from a public page I am allowed to read, saved as a file, so the function does not fetch anything.
Rules:
- Read the HTML sample first and base the selectors on its real structure.
- Return a list of dictionaries and use None for a field that is missing, so one odd record does not crash the run.
- Prefer stable attributes over long chains of positions, and note which selector is most likely to break when the site changes.
- Tell me to check the current Beautiful Soup documentation if you are unsure of a method.
Result:
The function with a short docstring, then a 3-line example of calling it, then a list of at most 3 selectors that are fragile.
Material:
[paste a sample of the HTML here, at least 2 repeating items]
