All the links in the same row - sql

Question

I'm doing a database where it has 2 columns: event_name and event_URL. It doesn't get the name and puts all the urls on the event_URL column. Print: https://prnt.sc/fru1tr
Code:
import urllib2
from bs4 import BeautifulSoup
import psycopg2
page = urllib2.urlopen('https://www.meetup.com/find/outdoors-adventure/?allMeetups=false&radius=50&userFreeform=London%2C+&mcId=c1012717&change=yes&sort=default')
soup = BeautifulSoup(page, 'lxml')
events = soup.find('ul', class_='j-groupCard-list searchResults tileGrid tileGrid--3col tileGrid_atMedium--2col tileGrid_atSmall--1col')
A = []
B = []
try:
conn = psycopg2.connect("dbname='meetup' user='postgres' host='localhost' password='root'")
except:
print 'Unable to connect to the database.'
cur = conn.cursor()
for event in events.findAll('li'):
text = event.findAll('h3')
if len(text) != 0:
A.append(text[0].find(text = True))
url = event.find('a', href=True)
if len(url) != 0:
B.append(url['href'])
cur.execute("""INSERT INTO outdoors_adventure(event_name,event_url) VALUES(%s,%s)""", (tuple(A),tuple(B)))
conn.commit()
del A[:]
del B[:]

Answer 1

If the indentation is right in the posted code, the problem might be in the nested for-loop: for every event, you append the "B" list with all the links on the page. You could try:
for event in events.findAll('li'):
text = event.findAll('h3')
if len(text) != 0:
A.append(text[0].find(text = True))
for link in events.findAll('li'):
url = link.find('a', href=True)
if len(url) != 0:
B.append(url['href'])
Or better, keep the event-name and event-URL search in a single for-loop, fetching first the text and then the url of event
EDIT: You can simplify the name extraction, by using:
for event in events.findAll('li'):
text = event.h3.string.strip()
if len(text) != 0:
A.append(text)
url = event.find('a', href=True)
...
Let me know if that does the trick for you (it does on my side).
EDIT2: The problem might be just the fact that the extracted string starts with tabs (maybe that's why your DB seems "not to show the name" - its there, but you only see the tabs in the preview?). Just use strip() to remove them.
