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

16 Replies, 1854 Views

Hey! Scraping website R can be a real challenge, especially with dynamic content and IP blocks. I’ve been using `rvest` and `httr` for simpler tasks, but for more complex sites, I’ve switched to RSelenium.

Another tool worth checking out is `polite` package. It helps manage rate limits and avoids getting blocked.

For IP blocking, I’d recommend using a proxy service like ScraperAPI. It’s been a lifesaver for me.
