Using python to get data (text) from wix

I'm making a python project in which I created a test wix website. I want to get the data (text) from the wix website using urllib so I did url.urlopen(ADDRESS).readlines() the problem is it did not give me anything from the text in the page and only information about the structure of the page in HTML. how would I extricate the requested text information from the website?

I think you'll need to end up parsing the html for the information you want. Check out this python library:

https://docs.python.org/3/library/html.parser.html

You could potentially do something like this:

from html.parser import HTMLParser
rel_data = []

class MyHTMLParser(HTMLParser):

    def handle_data(self, data):
         rel_data.append(data)


parser = MyHTMLParser()
parser.feed('<html><head><title>Test</title></head>'
            '<body><h1>Parse me!</h1></body></html>')
print(rel_data)

Output

["Test", "Parse me!"]
