Python web scraping: TypeError: 'int' object is not subscriptable

url = "https://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/hh135098(v=exchg.150).aspx"
r = requests.get(url)
soup = BeautifulSoup(r.content, 'lxml')
table = soup.find_all('table', attrs={"responsive": "true"})[0]
for rows in table.find_all('tr')[1]:
    item = []
    for val in rows.find('td'):
        item.append(val.text.strip())
        print (item)


Traceback (most recent call last):
    File "<stdin>", line 3, in <module>
TypeError: 'int' object is not interable

Line 4 refers to for val in rows.find('td'):

In for val in rows.find('td'): when there's no td found in the rows, it returns -1 an int object which you are trying to loop, hence the error.

The correct approach:

>>> for rows in table.find_all('tr'):
...   item = []
...   for val in rows.find_all('td'):
...     item.append(val.text.strip())
...   print(item)
... 
[]
