I've got a lot of html response code, at some part there's this part:

</td>
</tr>
    <input id="hiddenloginurl" type="hidden" name="loginurl" value="/sensor.htm?id=10240">
</table>

How can I parse the html code and get this id with python? The problem is, at every new api call, the id is changed.

BeautifulSoup

Beautiful Soup provides a few simple methods and Pythonic idioms for navigating, searching, and modifying a parse tree: a toolkit for dissecting a document and extracting what you need. It doesn't take much code to write an application

Beautiful Soup automatically converts incoming documents to Unicode and outgoing documents to UTF-8. You don't have to think about encodings, unless the document doesn't specify an encoding and Beautiful Soup can't autodetect one. Then you just have to specify the original encoding.

Beautiful Soup sits on top of popular Python parsers like lxml and html5lib, allowing you to try out different parsing strategies or trade speed for flexibility.

inputTag = soup.find(attrs={"name": "stainfo"})
output = inputTag['value']
