How to parse yahoo finance stock price using beautifulsoup?

For the learning purpose, I tried to extract the current stock price of AAPL using yahoo finance. However, I am getting empty outputs.

How to extract the stock value?

Required value: 134.69 (as shown in image below) (note this value changes with time, but this is just an example)

MWE

import numpy as np
import pandas as pd
import json
import requests

from bs4 import BeautifulSoup


ticker = 'aapl'
url = f"https://finance.yahoo.com/quote/{ticker.upper()}"

response = requests.get(url)
soup = BeautifulSoup(response.text, 'html.parser')

soup.find_all("div", class_="Trsdu(0.3s) Fw(b) Fz(36px) Mb(-4px) D(ib)")

Inspect

EDIT (13.06.2023): Updated to working version

To get current quote you can use next example (don't forget to set User-Agent HTTP header to get right response from the server):

import requests
from bs4 import BeautifulSoup


headers = {'User-Agent': 'Mozilla/5.0 (X11; Ubuntu; Linux x86_64; rv:109.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/114.0'}

ticker = "AAPL"
url = f"https://finance.yahoo.com/quote/{ticker}"

response = requests.get(url, headers=headers)
soup = BeautifulSoup(response.text, "html.parser")

current = soup.select_one(f'fin-streamer[data-field="regularMarketPrice"][data-symbol="{ticker}"]')
print(current['value'])

Prints:

183.79
