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

Hey!

I’d recommend starting with rvest—it’s super easy to use for static sites. For dynamic content, RSelenium is the way to go.

To avoid blocks, use httr with rotating user agents and proxies. Also, respect robots.txt!

For cleaning, tidyverse is a game-changer.

Here’s a tutorial I found super helpful: [R-bloggers](https://www.r-bloggers.com/).

Happy scraping!
