Scraping multiple webpages with Python

from bs4 import BeautifulSoup
import urllib, time
class scrape(object):
    def __init__(self):
        self.urls = ['https://www.onthemarket.com/for-sale/property/wigan/', 'https://www.onthemarket.com/for-sale/property/wigan/?page=1', 'https://www.onthemarket.com/for-sale/property/wigan/?page=2', 'https://www.onthemarket.com/for-sale/property/wigan/?page=3', 'https://www.onthemarket.com/for-sale/property/wigan/?page=4', 'https://www.onthemarket.com/for-sale/property/wigan/?page=6']
        self.telephones = []
    def extract_info(self):
        for link in self.urls:
            data = urllib.request.urlopen(link).read()
            soup = BeautifulSoup(data, "lxml")
            for tel in soup.findAll("span", {"class":"call"}):
                self.telephones.append(tel.text.strip())
            time.sleep(1)
        return self.telephones

to = scrape()
print(to.extract_info())

What is wrong? This code is hanging after second website. It should extract phone numbers from each webpage in list self.urls

All you need to do is put a headers in your request parameter and make a go. Try this:

from bs4 import BeautifulSoup
import requests, time

class scrape(object):

    def __init__(self):
        self.urls = ['https://www.onthemarket.com/for-sale/property/wigan/', 'https://www.onthemarket.com/for-sale/property/wigan/?page=1', 'https://www.onthemarket.com/for-sale/property/wigan/?page=2', 'https://www.onthemarket.com/for-sale/property/wigan/?page=3', 'https://www.onthemarket.com/for-sale/property/wigan/?page=4', 'https://www.onthemarket.com/for-sale/property/wigan/?page=6']
        self.telephones = []

    def extract_info(self):
        for link in self.urls:
            data = requests.get(link,headers={"User-Agent":"Mozilla/5.0"}) #it should do the trick
            soup = BeautifulSoup(data.text, "lxml")
            for tel in soup.find_all("span",{"class":"call"}):
                self.telephones.append(tel.text.strip())
            time.sleep(1)
        return self.telephones

crawl = scrape()
print(crawl.extract_info())
