While using the pinterest scraper, I came across the following error: Obtained 550 results after 9 scrolls Scraping: http://www.pinterest.com/nealthegr8/detailed/ URL failed: http://www.pinterest.com/nealthegr8/detailed/ connections attempted: 1 exception message: 'NoneType' object has no attribute 'get' Traceback (most recent call last): File "pinterest.py", line 136, in process_whole_page results = process(soup) File "pinterest.py", line 420, in <lambda> for pin in soup.select('div.item') File "pinterest.py", line 388, in parse_pin pin.find('a', {'class': 'pinImageWrapper'}).get('href')), AttributeError: 'NoneType' object has no attribute 'get' I am not sure if the BeautifulSoup find() function has changed since this code was written, but using the current way of selecting class in a soup i.e. class_='myclass' as an argument to the find() function solved the problem for me.
