Easy steam scraping with BeautifulSoup

I wanted to make a sensor for my steam account to use for future projects. After some googling i found BeautifulSoup. I framework to search with in text/html and xml. After some fiddling i got it working. To get steam working you need a working public profile page.

Install BeautifulSoup

sudo apg-get update -y && sudo atp-get upgrade -y && sudo apt-get install python-bs4 -y

Steam scraper

	from bs4 import BeautifulSoup
	import urllib
	r = urllib.urlopen('http://steamcommunity.com/profiles/76561198024292709').read()
	soup = BeautifulSoup(r,"html.parser")
	for row in soup.find_all('div',attrs={"class" : "profile_in_game_name"}):
	print row.text

Will return blank if Im not playing anything or the name of the game if im playing.
