Copy element?

html=BeautifulSoup(site.text,"html.parser")

parse the site

rose rampart
#

Ok got it

#

this is the part I have been getting confused about: tech_market_cap= soup.find('span', {'class': 'value svelte-e2k9sg'}).text

#

I'm not sure how to do it

exotic frost
#

it should be as simple as soup.find("div",_class='value svelte-e2k9sg').text

#

I keep getting 11 as the output when Im trying to get 15.581T

exotic frost
#

for me it gives an error bc it can find it

rose rampart
# 
import requests
from bs4 import BeautifulSoup

site = requests.get("https://finance.yahoo.com/sectors/technology/?guccounter=1")

html = BeautifulSoup(site.text, "html.parser")

tech_mctotal = html.find("div", class_='value svelte-e2k9sg').text

print(tech_mctotal)

I get 11
