2. define a variable and put the link you are willing to extract data of that
3. use the Request library to download the url in another variable ex: sourcecode=Request.get(url)
4. parse the sourceCode using the BeautifulSoap library and save the parsed code in a variable 5.use findAll(‘div’) to find all the div in the parsed sourcecode
5. use a loop by the result that you have got of the step 5 to find heading ex: for div in result: R1=div.find(‘h1’)
6. print the content of the R1
