How to get the tag name of html using Python Beautiful Soup?

header = head.find_all('span')

[<span itemprop="name">Raj</span>, <span itemprop="street">24 Omni  Street</span>, <span itemprop="address">Ohio</span>, <span itemprop="Region">US</span>, <span itemprop="postal">40232</span>, <span class="number">334646344</span>]

print (header[0].tag)
print(header[0].text)

####output
None
Raj
...

####Expected output
Name
Raj
...

I could not able to extract all the value of span itemprop. It throws me None output. Am I doing something wrong?

Thanks, Raj

Yes, class 'bs4.element.Tag' does not have a tag attribute, as itself is a Tag. From the docs:

You can access a tag’s attributes by treating the tag like a dictionary.

So you've got the list of all the span tags, now just iterate the list and get their attribute that you want (i.e. 'itemprop'):

spans = head.find_all('span')

for span in spans:
    try:
        print(span['itemprop'].decode().title() + ': ' + span.text)
    except KeyError:
        continue

output:

Name: Raj
Street: 24 Omni  Street
Address: Ohio
Region: US
Postal: 40232

Format the output or store the data as needed
