16 Replies, 1435 Views

Hey everyone!

So, I’ve been wanting to dive into web scraping in R for a while now, but I’m kinda lost on where to start. 😅

I’ve heard about packages like rvest and httr, but not sure which one’s better for beginners. Also, any tips on handling dynamic websites or avoiding getting blocked?

Would love to hear your experiences or any best practices you’ve picked up along the way. Like, how do you clean and organize the data after scraping?

Oh, and if there are any good tutorials or resources for web scraping in R, pls share!

Thanks in advance, y’all! 🙌
