Best Tools and Techniques to Scrape Website R: What Works in 2023?

16 Replies, 1846 Views

Hey there! Scraping website R can definitely be tricky, especially with dynamic content. I’ve had success using `rvest` and `httr` for simpler tasks, but for more complex sites, I’ve switched to Python with BeautifulSoup and Scrapy.

If you’re set on R, RSelenium is a good option, but it’s not the most user-friendly. Another tool worth checking out is `V8` for handling JavaScript directly in R.

For IP blocking, try using a headless browser with a proxy service. It’s saved me a ton of headaches.
