问题 I'm relatively new to R programming and I'm trying to put some of the stuff I'm learning in the Johns Hopkins Data Science track to practical use. Specifically, I would like to automate the process of downloading historical bond prices from the US Treasury website Using both Firefox and R, I was able to determine that the US Treasury website uses a very simple HTML POST form to specify a single date for the quotes of interest. It then returns a table of secondary market information for all

问题 I want to scrap a https website, but I failed. Here is my code: require(rvest) url <- "https://www.sunnyplayer.com/de/" content <- read_html(url) But I have error in console- "Error in open.connection(x, "rb") : Timeout was reached" How I can fix this problem? 回答1: The same thing happens to me on a proxy. To get around this, use download.file and specify a download location. You can then parse the file with read_html. download.file(url, destfile = 'C://whatever.html') content <- read_html('C:

Scraping with rvest - complete with NAs when tag is not present

由 和自甴很熟 提交于 2019-12-28 03:03:05
问题 I want to parse this HTML: and get this elements from it: a) p tag, with class: "normal_encontrado" . b) div with class: "price" . Sometimes, the p tag is not present in some products. If this is the case, an NA should be added to the vector collecting the text from this nodes. The idea is to have 2 vectors with the same length, and after join them to make a data.frame . Any ideas? The HTML part: <html> <head></head> <body> <div class="product_price" id="product_price_186251"> <p class=

问题 I am trying to read an HTML table from a publicly-accessible website into a data frame in R. The final column of the table contains hyperlinks, and I would like to read these hyperlinks into the table rather than the text that is displayed on the webpage. I've reviewed several posts here on StackOverflow and on other sites and have gotten almost there, but I haven't been able to read the hyperlinks themselves. The table I'm trying to read is here: http://mis.ercot.com/misapp/GetReports.do

Using R to scrape tables when URL does not change

由 爱⌒轻易说出口 提交于 2019-12-25 03:26:40
问题 I'm relatively new to scraping in R and have had great luck using "rvest", but I've run into an issue I cannot solve.

So, if I'm on page 1 of the table, the URL is www
