Hello Susanli, I tried to use your code but I received this error:

AttributeError                            Traceback (most recent call last)

    214 
    215     if not items:

     51

     66     num_reviews = num_reviews[1:-1]
     67     num_reviews = num_reviews.replace(',', '')

AttributeError: 'NoneType' object has no attribute 'text'

I'm university business professor but newbie with Python, could you help me to use your solution for scrap trip advisor hotel reviews ? Thanks in advance

Hello Susanli.

I am getting the same error message. I have already checked that bs4 module is installed in my system.

Are we missing something here?

Thank you very much!

replace line 65 with

num_reviews = soup.find('span', class_='hotels-hotel-review-community-content-TabBar__tabCount--37DbH').text # get text

note the class is changed to something else. I believe when she wrote it TA changed their website.

It was throwing a non type because you created a variable with Nothing inside then you tried using this nothing variable.

LOL, this is a moving target. Try replacing the suspect line as follows:

# num_reviews = soup.find('span', class_='reviews_header_count').text # get text    
numSpan = soup.select('span[class*="hotels-hotel-review-community-content-TabBar__tabCount--"]')
num_reviews = numSpan[0].text # get text

I had the same issue and I solved it by inspecting my target page's code. Probably the errors you get are requiring you to review the source code, which has changed.

# num_reviews = soup.find('span', class_='reviews_header_count').text # get text    
numSpan = soup.select('span[class*="hotels-hotel-review-community-content-TabBar__tabCount--"]')
num_reviews = numSpan[0].text # get text

Last line is giving error again. List index out of range

I am getting this error while running the code on jupytor notebook.
