I’m trying to parse out some XML, where some tags aren’t always in the XML. I was getting an error when trying to get the text, as I can’t get .text when it’s None

Seems like there should be a better way to handle this? This is also just one value, I have many that I need to extract I don’t think repeating the XML Path is great solution

This returns “” if value is None and returns the actual text if exists:

value = "" if properties.find("link[@title='myTitle']/a:inline/feed/entry/content/b:properties/c:Id", namespaces) is None else properties.find("link[@title='myTitle']/a:inline/feed/entry/content/b:properties/c:Id", namespaces).text
