I used BeautifulSoup in Python for extract the previous price on an Amazon page, but the code that i used prints the current price and not the previous price.
I tryed:
priceold = soup.find(class_="a-span12 a-color-secondary a-size-base").get_text()
The page is this https://www.amazon.it/dp/B08LQ3WPWS/ and i need to extract 799,99€ (the previous price).
The HTML code on the page is:
<tr><td class="a-color-secondary a-size-base a-text-right a-nowrap">Prezzo consigliato:</td><td class="a-span12 a-color-secondary a-size-base"> <span class="a-price a-text-price a-size-base" data-a-size="b" data-a-strike="true" data-a-color="secondary"><span class="a-offscreen">799,99€</span><span aria-hidden="true">799,99€</span></span>
I need only one 799,99€. How can i select it correctly with BeautifulSoup?
I think i need to select class a-span12 a-color-secondary a-size-base and at the same time class a-offscreen.

Method 1
This should work:-
#get price block
price_block=soup.find('span',class_='a-price a-text-price a-size-base')
#get previous price within price block
previous_price=price_block.find('span',class_='a-offscreen')
print(previous_price.text)All methods was sourced from stackoverflow.com or stackexchange.com, is licensed under cc by-sa 2.5, cc by-sa 3.0 and cc by-sa 4.0
