How to fix 'AttributeError: ResultSet object has no attribute 'find'. You're probably treating a list of elements like a single element. Did you call find_all() when you meant to call find()?'

With this error message the solution is given away in the message. It's like looping an entire list and not its elements or items. So for example;

for page in pages:
    name = pages.find('tr')

As the intent here is to loop through the list, you can't use a list to loop. In the example above 'pages' is the list and 'page' signifies the items, so code should rather read;

for page in pages:
    name = page.find('tr')

In some cases, you might be using the item variable to loop through the list but still get the error. In such a case you have to create a variable for the items and loop through that initialized variable to get what you want. See below;

for name in names:
    name_title = name.find('tr')

    for titles in name_title:
        print(titles)

I trust that helps. Happy scraping!
