AttributeError: 'NoneType' object has no attribute 'text'

Hello @Muhammad Umer,

As per the Beautiful Soup Documentation:

AttributeError: 'NoneType' object has no attribute 'foo' - This usually happens because you called find() and then tried to access the .foo attribute of the result. But in your case, find() didn’t find anything, so it returned None, instead of returning a tag or a string. You need to figure out why your find() call isn’t returning anything.

It could not find an element you searched for at this line, and returned None: post_title = post.find(class_='a-section').text
