Overview

You can now check the Online application status of special fixed-amount benefits on the Ota Ward website. If you are applying online, use Beautiful Soup because you can know your application status from the reception number. I will try to get information such as application status.

Get HP update date

The modification date and time can be obtained from the Last-Modified response header.

print(res.headers['Last-Modified'])

Acquisition of application processing status

The application status can be obtained from the ul and li tags in id = "main". You can get a list including application status by specifying with select ().

If you have applied online, you will be issued a reception number so you can compare it with your own number to know the current status.

import requests, bs4
import re

res = requests.get('https://www.city.ota.tokyo.jp/cyuumokujoho/infection/kyufu/teigakukyuuhuonlinejokyo.html')
res.raise_for_status()
soup = bs4.BeautifulSoup(res.content, "html.parser")
elements = soup.select('#main ul li')

kyufu = 0
next = 0
for element in elements:
    text = element.getText()
    
    if 'Number of applications' in text:
        print(text)
    if 'Benefit decision status' in text:
        print(text)
        kyufu = re.findall('[0-9]+', text)[0]
    if 'Scheduled to be decided next time' in text:
        print(text)
        next = re.findall('[0-9]+', text)[0]

number = 200503009999999
if int(kyufu) > number:
    print("The application processing status is now the benefit decision status.")
elif int(next)  > number:
    print("The application processing status will be decided next time.")
else:
    print("The application processing status is awaiting examination.")

#output
Number of applications 23,848 cases
Benefit decision status Until reception number 200502004219879 Benefit decision
Scheduled to be decided next time Until reception number 200506012800746

The application processing status will be decided next time.

Get the status of the transfer date

A guideline for the transfer date is also provided from the application date. You can get it from the p tag in id = "main" as well as the application status.

elems = soup.select('#main p')

print(elems[4].getText().replace('。5', '。\n5'))

#output
