I wrote a program that outputs only entire sentences containing specific words to the terminal when those words are found in Amazon Marketplace product condition comments.

This time, I took the case containing the word ‘新品’ (brand new) as an example from [Python] Tried Getting Product Condition Comments from Amazon API.

First, import the re module to use regular expressions.

import re

Next, use the re.search method to output the contents of conditionnote only when it contains the specific word ‘新品’ (brand new).

# Extract only conditionnote element information from soup
for item in soup.findAll("conditionnote"):
  # When conditionnote element contains the word '新品', condition is true
  if re.search(u'新品', item.contents[0]):
    print item.contents[0]  # Output contents of conditionnote element under item element

As shown below, only cases where condition comments contain ‘新品’ (brand new) are output.
