Iam a beginner to data scraping.I want to extract all the marathon events name from a website Wikipedia For this I have written a small code :-
from lxml import html
import requests
page = requests.get('https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_marathon_races')
tree = html.fromstring(page.text)
events = tree.xpath('//td/a[@class="new"]/text()')
print events
The problem is when I try to execute the following code,a blank array comes as an output.What is the problem with this code?It would be grateful if anyone can help me in correcting or finding mistakes my code.
