Is there a way how to extract data from response.content in python?

Question

I'm trying to figure out how to scrape/extract a image url out of response.content.

This is the url I'm trying to extract <img src="/Content/images/asos-logo-2022-93x28.png"

The problem is that everything after the /Content/images/ part can change...

Any help appreciated !!!

You can use Beautiful Soup for this:

>>> import requests
>>> from bs4 import BeautifulSoup
>>> r = requests.get("https://stackoverflow.com/q/71636643/1416672")
>>> html = r.text
>>> soup = BeautifulSoup(html, 'html.parser')
>>> for item in soup.find_all('img'): print(item['src'])
...

If you want to match a specific image then check the docs how to search by CSS class or any other CSS selectors.
