BeautifulSoup: get tag name of element itself, not its children

September 11, 2023 by Tarik

ele is already a tag, try doing this:

soup = BeautifulSoup('<html><p>line 1</p><div><a>line 2</a></div></html>')
print(soup.find('p').nextSibling.name)

So in your example it would be just

print(ele.name)
