Hi, so I'm making a webscraping script to scrape the brand name, clothing type, and the percentage breakdown of materials from a clothing website.

This is a sample response:
{
"brand": "Primark",
"cloth_type": "t-shirt",
"materials": [
"56%: Viscose",
"40%: Nylon",
"4%: Elastane"
],
"sustainability_rating": 43.2
}

This works fine, but I'm trying to scrape the price of a certain product, but I'm not sure how because most sites have a lot of recommended products under a certain product that has prices on them and in the HTML code the tags are all near identical. How do I isolate the correct price of the main product on a webpage? Here is a webpage for reference: https://www.abercrombie.com/shop/us/p/athletic-straight-jeans-50635343?categoryId=61102441&faceout=model&seq=04

Sorry idk why my original message deleted

you need to target specific html elements that uniquely identify the main products price

so

use BeautifulSoup

yup, i've been using bs4 for the project

[polar prism]

yeah so look for unique html attributes or classes that identify the main product's price. use find() or find_all() with beautifulsoup to grab it
