Overview
Context
Have you ever come across a website that displays a lot of data such as statistics, product reviews, or prices in a format that’s not data analysis-ready? Often, authorities and other data providers publish their data in neatly formatted tables. However, not all of these sites include a download button, but don’t despair.
In this course in Web Scraping in R at Data Camp, you'll learn how to automate the scraping and parsing of Wikipedia using the rvest and httr packages.
Through hands-on exercises, you’ll also expand your understanding of HTML and CSS, the building blocks of web pages, as you make your data harvesting workflows less error-prone and more efficient.
