This is the fourth script in 'Python Scripts' series.

You can have a look at previous scripts by following the links given below.

Python Script 1: Convert ebook from one format to another

As the title suggests, this script is used to open the top 10 Google search results in different tabs for the provided keyword.

Code:

"""
Author: Anurag Rana
Usage: python google.py <keyword>
Description: Script googles the keyword and opens top 10(max) search results in separate tabs in the browser
Usage: python filename.py keyword
Tested with Python3
"""

import webbrowser
import sys
import pyperclip
import requests
import bs4


def start():
	if len(sys.argv) > 1:
		keyword = ' '.join(sys.argv[1:])
	else:
		# if no keyword is entered, the script would 
		# search for the keyword copied in the clipboard
		keyword = pyperclip.paste()

	res = requests.get('https://google.com/search?q='+keyword)
	soup = bs4.BeautifulSoup(res.text,'lxml')
	links = soup.select('.r a')
	tab_counts = min(10, len(links))

	for i in range(tab_counts):
		webbrowser.open('https://google.com' + links[i].get('href'))


start()

I am using this same concept at my work. Every day I have to open 8 applications (slack, JIRA, Gitlab, Facebook, StackOverflow, Jenkins UI, Outlook and Personal Email) in my browser. So instead of opening each application one by one, I just run the script and all these applications are opened in different tabs saving a few seconds.
