Looking to Learn Web Scraping in R – Any Tips or Best Practices to Get Started?

16 Replies, 1466 Views

Wow, thanks so much, everyone! 🙌

I started with rvest and it’s been super smooth so far. I tried scraping a static site, and it worked like a charm.

I’m still a bit nervous about dynamic sites, though. Anyone have tips on setting up RSelenium? Like, is it tricky to get it running?

Also, thanks for the polite package suggestion—I’ll definitely check that out.

And shoutout to the tutorial links! I’ve bookmarked them all.

You guys are awesome! 🚀
