Web Scraping Using Python And Beautiful Soup: Error "'page' Is Not Defined"

From a betting site, I want to collect the betting rates. After inspecting the page, I noticed that these rates were included into a eventprice class. Following the explanation fro

Solution 1:

If you print the exception details you will see what is happening:

try:
    page = urllib.request.urlopen(url)
except Exception as e:
    print(f"An error occurred: {e}")

Output

An error occurred: HTTP Error 403: Forbidden
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File ".../main.py", line 12, in <module>
    soup = BeautifulSoup(page, 'html.parser')
NameError: name 'page' is not defined

urlopen() is raising an Exception which results in an undefined 'page' variable. In this case it's a 403 which means you may need to add authentication in order to access this URL.

Update:

A 403 response means there is no way to access this URL in the way that you are trying to access it.
