Python(新手)从API调用解析XML

时间:2010-12-15 15:26:12

标签: python xml parsing api

我在堆栈/文档上寻找一些教程/其他问题但仍无法解决。啊!

发出API请求和解析(想要分配给变量,但这是对这个问题的奖励),这就是我正在尝试的。为什么我不能列出项目的标题和链接?

#!/usr/bin/python

# Screen Scraper for Subs
import urllib
from xml.etree import ElementTree as ET

show = 'heroes'
season = '4'
language = 'en'
limit = '1'

requestURL = 'http://api.allsubs.org/index.php?' \
           + 'search=' + show \
           + '+season+' + season \
           + '&language=' + language \
           + '&limit=' + limit

root = ET.parse(urllib.urlopen(requestURL)).getroot()
print root
print '\n'

items = root.findall('items')
for item in items: 
     item.find('title').text # should print: <![CDATA[Heroes Season 4 Subtitles]]>
     item.find('link').text # Should print: http://www.allsubs.org/subs-download/heroes+season+4/1223435/

更新:

这很有效,感谢帮助并指出了我的错字

items = root.findall('items/item')
for item in items: 
     print item.find('title').text
     print item.find('link').text

3 个答案:

答案 0 :(得分:4)

items = root.findall('items')

应该是

items = root.findall('items/item')

答案 1 :(得分:3)

这对我有用。注意我正在使用urllib2来通过代理:

import urllib2
from xml.etree import ElementTree as ET

show = 'heroes'
season = '4'
language = 'en'
limit = '1'

requestURL = 'http://api.allsubs.org/index.php?' \
           + 'search=' + show \
           + '+season+' + season \
           + '&language=' + language \
           + '&limit=' + limit

root = ET.parse(urllib2.urlopen(requestURL)).getroot()
print root
print '\n'

items = root.findall('items')[0].findall('item')
for item in items: 
     print item.find('title').text # should print: <![CDATA[Heroes Season 4 Subtitles]]>
     print item.find('link').text # Should print: http://www.allsubs.org/subs-download/heroes+season+4/1223435/

请注意,findall('items')找到“items”标签,你想要循环的(我认为)是其中的“item”标签,所以我们找到那些()。此外,您需要打印才能从python中获取任何内容。

另外,如果我使用limit = 2,我得到一个:

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "heros.py", line 18, in <module>
    root = ET.parse(urllib2.urlopen(requestURL)).getroot()
  File "/usr/lib/python2.6/xml/etree/ElementTree.py", line 862, in parse
    tree.parse(source, parser)
  File "/usr/lib/python2.6/xml/etree/ElementTree.py", line 586, in parse
    parser.feed(data)
  File "/usr/lib/python2.6/xml/etree/ElementTree.py", line 1245, in feed
    self._parser.Parse(data, 0)
xml.parsers.expat.ExpatError: not well-formed (invalid token): line 24, column 95

我不确定从这个API返回的XML是否格式正确 - 开始时没有“xml”元素。我不相信它......

答案 2 :(得分:2)

您没有迭代'item'元素,实际上是在迭代'items'元素。

我认为应该是:

items = root.findall('items')
childItems = items.findall('item')
for childItem in childItems: 
    childItem.find('title').text # should print: <![CDATA[Heroes Season 4 Subtitles]]>
    childItem.find('link').text # Should print: http://www.allsubs.org/subs-download/heroes+season+4/1223435
