SLC-RUG March - Web scraping in R with the tidyverse, rvest, and RSelenium

[@asolisca]

This is by far the best lesson I’ve seen on webscraping using R. Nailed the HTML and CSS parts!

I had good success with difficult tables using a) inspect to isolate the table and b) then use xpath to point to it. It is a lot of trial and error especially when there are no ids.

Super useful!!!

[@haraldurkarlsson1147]

Neat! However, I found xpath to work best overall.
