Problem: how to get a list of tag attribute values with beautifulsoup

Question

I want to scrape from the website of a local cinema and get all times, when a certain film is running.

I found the table in which the times are listed in the following form:

[<time datetime="2020-01-31T21:15:00+01:00">21:15</time>].

If I use beautifulsoup as x.find_all('time'). I get all the times in the form shown above. But I only want the 'datetime' so in this case 2020-01-31T21: 15: 00 + 01: 00. Now when I search for x.find_all('time')['datetime'] I get the following error:

TypeError: list indices must be integers or slices, not str

Can someone tell me how I use beautifulsoup to create a list in which all 'datetime' are collected?

thanks in advance

Oops -- stackoverflow.com/q/24197922 is the "deeper" duplicate. Still: just use print ([a.get('datetime') for a in soup.find_all('time')]) — Jongware

x.find_all('time')

will return a list. So you'll have to get an item from the list before you can get the "datetime" attribute.

x.find_all('time')[0]['datetime']

will probably do it.
