How to open a web page using Python and retrieve its content?

To open a web page using Python and retrieve its content, you can use the requests library. Here's an example of how you can do it:

First, you need to install the requests library if you don't already have it. You can use the following command in your terminal or command prompt to install it:

pip install requests

Once you have requests installed, you can use the following Python code to open a web page and retrieve its content:

import requests # Specify the URL of the web page you want to open url = "https://example.com" # Send a GET request to the URL and store the response response = requests.get(url) # Retrieve the content of the web page content = response.text # Print the content print(content)

Make sure to replace "https://example.com" with the actual URL of the web page you want to open.

The requests.get(url) function sends a GET request to the specified URL and returns a Response object. The response.text attribute retrieves the content of the web page in a string format.

You can then manipulate or process the content variable as per your requirements.
