The <title> tag is used to provide a text caption to the page that appears in the browser”s title bar. It is not a part of the main content of the web page. The title tag is always present inside the <head> tag.
We can extract the contents of title tag by Beautiful Soup. We parse the HTML tree and obtain the title tag object.
Example
html = ''''''
<html>
<head>
<Title>Python Libraries</title>
</head>
<body>
<p Hello World</p>
</body>
</html>
''''''
from bs4 import BeautifulSoup
soup = BeautifulSoup(html, "html5lib")
title = soup.title
print (title)
Output
<title>Python Libraries</title>
