Python getting all links from a google search result page
Question: i want to create a script that returns all the urls found in a page a google
for example , so i create this script : (using BeautifulSoup)

    
    
    import urllib2
    from BeautifulSoup import BeautifulSoup
    page = urllib2.urlopen("https://www.google.dz/search?q=see")
    soup = BeautifulSoup(page.read())
    links = soup.findAll("a")
    for link in links:
        print link["href"]
    

and it return this 403 forbidden result :

    
    
    Traceback (most recent call last):
      File "C:\Python27\sql\sql.py", line 3, in <module>
        page = urllib2.urlopen("https://www.google.dz/search?q=see")
      File "C:\Python27\lib\urllib2.py", line 126, in urlopen
        return _opener.open(url, data, timeout)
      File "C:\Python27\lib\urllib2.py", line 400, in open
        response = meth(req, response)
      File "C:\Python27\lib\urllib2.py", line 513, in http_response
        'http', request, response, code, msg, hdrs)
      File "C:\Python27\lib\urllib2.py", line 438, in error
        return self._call_chain(*args)
      File "C:\Python27\lib\urllib2.py", line 372, in _call_chain
        result = func(*args)
      File "C:\Python27\lib\urllib2.py", line 521, in http_error_default
        raise HTTPError(req.get_full_url(), code, msg, hdrs, fp)
    urllib2.HTTPError: HTTP Error 403: Forbidden
    

any idea to avoid this error or another methode to get the urls from of the
search result ?


Answer: No problem using [requests](http://docs.python-requests.org/en/latest/)

    
    
    import requests
    from BeautifulSoup import BeautifulSoup
    page = requests.get("https://www.google.dz/search?q=see")
    soup = BeautifulSoup(page.content)
    links = soup.findAll("a")
    

Some of the links have links are like `search%:http://` where the end of one
joins another so we need to split then using re

    
    
    from bs4 import BeautifulSoup
    page = requests.get("https://www.google.dz/search?q=see")
    soup = BeautifulSoup(page.content)
    import re
    links = soup.findAll("a")
    for link in  soup.find_all("a",href=re.compile("(?<=/url\?q=)(htt.*://.*)")):
        print re.split(":(?=http)",link["href"].replace("/url?q=",""))
