Ebay API – How to scrape text with no specific class

How do I scrape text with no specific class? I have pulled up a past eBay listing that sold via auction. Here is the snippet of code from the heading section.

<h1 class="it-ttl" id="itemTitle" itemprop="name"><span class="g-hdn">Details about   </span>2018 Panini Contenders Josh Allen #105 No Feet RC Ticket Auto PSA 10 GEM

I want to be able to scrape just the text "2018 Panini Contenders Josh Allen #105 No Feet RC Ticket Auto PSA 10 GEM" with requests and beautiful soup, but there is no class assigned to that specific text.

Here is the code I have so far…

my work

Currently working on this line.

h1 = soup.find('h1', id="itemTitle")
    print(h1)

Any help would be appreciated.

    Try using the find_next() method with text=True, which will return the first text match, and than use .next to get the next text after that. For example:

    from bs4 import BeautifulSoup


html = '''
<h1 class="it-ttl" id="itemTitle" itemprop="name"><span class="g-hdn">Details about   </span>2018 Panini Contenders Josh Allen #105 No Feet RC Ticket Auto PSA 10 GEM
'''

soup = BeautifulSoup(html, "html.parser")

print(soup.find(id='itemTitle').find_next(text=True).next)

    Output:

    2018 Panini Contenders Josh Allen #105 No Feet RC Ticket Auto PSA 10 GEM

    You could index into a list comprehension based on stripped_strings generator, or itertools.islice into the generator. The latter I found out was possible from @cobbal

    from bs4 import BeautifulSoup

html = '''
<h1 class="it-ttl" id="itemTitle" itemprop="name"><span class="g-hdn">Details about   </span>2018 Panini Contenders Josh Allen #105 No Feet RC Ticket Auto PSA 10 GEM
'''

soup = BeautifulSoup(html, "html.parser")

print([s for s in soup.select_one('#itemTitle').stripped_strings][1])


from itertools import islice

next(islice(soup.select_one('#itemTitle').stripped_strings, 1, None))
