How to print the first google search result link using bs4?

I'm a beginner in python, I'm trying to get the first search result link from google which was stored inside a div with class='yuRUbf' using beautifulsoup. When I run the script output is 'None' what is the error here.

import requests
import bs4

url = 'https://www.google.com/search?q=site%3Astackoverflow.com+how+to+use+bs4+in+python&sxsrf=AOaemvKrCLt-Ji_EiPLjcEso3DVfBUmRbg%3A1630215433722&ei=CR0rYby7K7ue4-EP7pqIkAw&oq=site%3Astackoverflow.com+how+to+use+bs4+in+python&gs_lcp=Cgdnd3Mtd2l6EAM6BwgAEEcQsAM6BwgjELACECc6BQgAEM0CSgQIQRgAUMw2WPh_YLiFAWgBcAJ4AIABkAKIAd8lkgEHMC4xMC4xM5gBAKABAcgBCMABAQ&sclient=gws-wiz&ved=0ahUKEwj849XewdXyAhU7zzgGHW4NAsIQ4dUDCA8&uact=5'

request_result=requests.get( url )
soup = bs4.BeautifulSoup(request_result.text,"html.parser")
productDivs = soup.find("div", {"class": "yuRUbf"})
print(productDivs)

As you want first google search in which class name which you are looking for might be differ with name so first you can first find manually that link so it will be easy to identify

import requests
import bs4

url = 'https://www.google.com/search?q=site%3Astackoverflow.com+how+to+use+bs4+in+python&sxsrf=AOaemvKrCLt-Ji_EiPLjcEso3DVfBUmRbg%3A1630215433722&ei=CR0rYby7K7ue4-EP7pqIkAw&oq=site%3Astackoverflow.com+how+to+use+bs4+in+python&gs_lcp=Cgdnd3Mtd2l6EAM6BwgAEEcQsAM6BwgjELACECc6BQgAEM0CSgQIQRgAUMw2WPh_YLiFAWgBcAJ4AIABkAKIAd8lkgEHMC4xMC4xM5gBAKABAcgBCMABAQ&sclient=gws-wiz&ved=0ahUKEwj849XewdXyAhU7zzgGHW4NAsIQ4dUDCA8&uact=5'

request_result=requests.get( url )

soup = bs4.BeautifulSoup(request_result.text,"html.parser")

Using select method:

  1. I have used css selector method in which it identifies all matching divs and from list i have taken from index postion 1

  2. And than i have use select_one to get a tag and find href according to it!

main_data=soup.select("div.ZINbbc.xpd.O9g5cc.uUPGi")[1:]
main_data[0].select_one("a")['href'].replace("/url?q=","")

Using find method:

main_data=soup.find_all("div",class_="ZINbbc xpd O9g5cc uUPGi")[1:]
main_data[0].find("a")['href'].replace("/url?q=","")

Output [Same for Both the Case]:

Let's see:

    from bs4 import BeautifulSoup
import requests, json

headers = {
    'User-agent':
    "useragent"
}


html = requests.get('https://www.google.com/search?q=hello', headers=headers).text
soup = BeautifulSoup(html, 'lxml')
# locating div element with a tF2Cxc class
# calling for <a> tag and then calling for 'href' attribute
link = soup.find('div', class_='tF2Cxc').a['href']
print(link)

output:
