The site r-bloggers is a team blog, with a lot of great how-to content on various R topics. The page http://www.r-bloggers.com/search/web%20scraping provides a list of topics related to web scraping, which is also the topic of this project!
The goal is to:
library(RCurl)
library(XML)
library(rvest)
library(knitr)
library(plyr)
library(stringr)
In order to facilitate scraping more than one page, we will use the following function:
scrape_r_bloggers_page <- function(page_data,page){
# Get all posts from within page by selecting DIVs where ID contains "post"
blog_posts<- page_data %>%
html_nodes(xpath='//div[contains(@id,"post")]')
# Pull out all the components within the blog post by xpath
titles<- blog_posts %>%
html_nodes(xpath='h2/a/text()')
descriptions<- blog_posts %>%
html_nodes(xpath='div[2]/p[1]')
dates<- blog_posts %>%
html_nodes(xpath='div[1]/div')
authors<- blog_posts %>%
html_nodes(xpath='div[1]/a')
urls<- blog_posts %>%
html_nodes(xpath='h2/a')
# Convert objects to array of values
descriptions<- sapply(descriptions,xmlValue)
titles<- sapply(titles,xmlValue)
dates<- sapply(dates,xmlValue)
authors<- sapply(authors,xmlValue)
authors <- gsub("\\/\\*.+\\*\\/","",authors) # cleanup comments
urls<- ldply(urls, function(x) xmlAttrs(x)["href"])
colnames(urls)<-"url"
# store it all into one dataframe
blog_posts_df <- data.frame(title=titles
,description=descriptions
,author=authors
,date=dates
,url=urls
,page=page)
return(blog_posts_df)
}
theURL <- "http://www.r-bloggers.com/search/web%20scraping"
page_data <- html(theURL)
#get the total number of pages
pages<- page_data %>%
html_nodes(xpath='//*[@id="leftcontent"]/div[11]/span[1]')
pages<-sapply(pages,xmlValue)
pages<-as.numeric(str_extract(pages,"[0-9]+$"))
#call the function to scrape the page
blog_posts_df<-scrape_r_bloggers_page(page_data,1)
#loop thru the remaining pages
for (page in c(2:pages)){
Sys.sleep(1)
theURL <- paste("http://www.r-bloggers.com/search/web%20scraping/page/",page,"/",sep="")
page_data <- html(theURL)
blog_posts_df<-rbind(blog_posts_df,scrape_r_bloggers_page(page_data,page))
}
kable(blog_posts_df[c("title","author","date","url","page")])
