web scraping error while using Beautiful soup and requests in python

I'm trying to write the code for tracking the amazon price of a product.The code is below 

import requests
from bs4 import BeautifulSoup
url='https://www.amazon.com/LunaJany-Womens-Striped-Office-Career/dp/B01DPLT4AC/ref=sxin_7_ac_d_rm?ac_md=2-2-ZHJlc3NlcyBmb3Igd29tZW4gd29yayBjYXN1YWw%3D-ac_d_rm&crid=1POYCFAFYAR8B&cv_ct_cx=dresses+for+women+casual+summer&dchild=1&keywords=dresses+for+women+casual+summer&pd_rd_i=B01DPLT4AC&pd_rd_r=0b613dda-1077-46d2-b403-af7e15840645&pd_rd_w=7Mp2P&pd_rd_wg=rNofK&pf_rd_p=a0516f22-66df-4efd-8b9a-279a864d1512&pf_rd_r=1P30PXW75XA27N3M6VDK&psc=1&qid=1592310609&sprefix=dre%2Caps%2C440&sr=1-3-12d4272d-8adb-4121-8624-135149aa9081'
        header={"user-agent":'Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 10.0; WOW64) AppleWebKit/537.36 (KHTML, like Gecko) Chrome/83.0.4103.97 Safari/537.36'}
        page=requests.get(url,headers=header)
        soup1=BeautifulSoup(page.content,"html.parser")
        soup2=BeautifulSoup(soup1.prettify(),"html.parser")
        title=soup2.find(id="productTitle").get_text()
        print(title)

While trying to print the title I'm getting error as 

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "C:/Users/Patterns/PycharmProjects/RUBI/Tracks amozon prices.py", line 8, in <module>
    title=soup2.find(id="productTitle").getText()
AttributeError: 'NoneType' object has no attribute 'getText'

Could anyone help me out??

Its because there is no such element like productTitle. When you use beautifull soup to load the page content there is a robot check page that loads instead. Like this one. Robot Check

Just try to print page content by - print(soup2) you will get to know the reason of error.

It says NoneType has no attribute "get_text", implying that no matching element with the id "productTitle" was found, hence returning None. None is a NoneType object has therefore has no "get_text" attribute.

Tip - Try tweaking productTitle. I am not sure, but it might not be the element for price of the item you are trying to track the price of.
