Answer by Mauricio Cortazar for python Get a link from string

You can use regex for that with something like:

import rec = re.search("<a href=\".*?(?=\")", yourDict["body"].decode("utf-8"))print(c.group())

but is much better if you find a package like parsel because you extract the html with xpath and not with regex, check this

EDIT

I use the regular expression because is the shortest and the fastest way with no need of download a package, but if your response changes drastically I recommend parsel for that. Example:

from parsel import Selectorsel = Selector(text=yourDict["body"].decode("utf-8"))url = sel.xpath('//a[@target="_blank"]/@href').extract_first()
