This code performs the following steps:
Purpose:
The script scrapes cheat information for a specific game from the "WeMod" website based on user input.
Detailed Steps:
-
Importing Libraries:
- The
BeautifulSoup
library from thebs4
package is used for parsing and scraping HTML content. - The
requests
library is used to send HTTP requests to the specified URL.
- The
-
User Input:
- The user is prompted to input the name of a game via the
input()
function. This value is stored in the variablenome
.
- The user is prompted to input the name of a game via the
-
URL Construction:
- The input
nome
is transformed: spaces are replaced with hyphens (-
), and the entire string is converted to lowercase. - A URL is constructed pointing to the specific game's cheat page on "https://www.wemod.com/pt/".
Example: If the user inputs "The Witcher 3", the URL becomes:
https://www.wemod.com/pt/cheats/the-witcher-3-trainers
- The input
-
Send HTTP GET Request:
- A GET request is sent to the constructed URL using
requests.get(url)
. - The response's content is parsed as HTML using
BeautifulSoup
.
- A GET request is sent to the constructed URL using
-
Finding Cheat Information:
- The
find_all()
method searches the HTML for all<li>
elements with the class attribute'cheat'
. These elements presumably contain information about cheats. - The results are stored in the
final
list.
- The
-
Extracting Text:
- The cheat information from each item in
final
is extracted using theget_text()
method with thestrip=True
argument to remove whitespace. - To avoid duplicates, the script checks if the extracted text is already present in the
textos
list, and if not, it appends it.
- The cheat information from each item in
-
Print Cheat Information:
- A numbered list of distinct cheats is printed, where each cheat is displayed on a new line.
- Example output might look like:
1. Unlimited Health 2. Unlimited Ammo 3. Max Resources
-
Print the URL:
- Finally, the constructed URL is printed to the console for reference.
Notes:
- If the URL does not exist or the page structure changes, this script may fail to find the required data (i.e.,
.find_all()
could return an empty list). - If the WeMod website has anti-scraping protections in place, the script may encounter problems loading or accessing the content.
