Hey everyone! đź‘‹

So, I’ve been diving into the world of scrape website R lately, and man, it’s been a wild ride. I’m trying to figure out what tools and techniques are actually worth using in 2023. Like, there’s so much out there, but not everything works as advertised, ya know?

I’ve been messing around with rvest and httr—pretty solid for basic stuff, but sometimes I hit a wall with dynamic content. Anyone else run into that? Also, heard RSelenium is a beast for scraping those tricky JS-heavy sites, but it feels like overkill for smaller projects.

What’s your go-to for scrape website R these days? Any hidden gems or tools I’m sleeping on? Would love to hear what’s working (or not) for y’all in 2023.

Cheers! 🍻
