使用 R 和 XML 包进行网页抓取 [英] Webscraping with R and the XML Package

问题描述

我正在尝试从此网页访问纬度和经度数据http://chicago.craigslist.org/search/apa?query=pilsen&zoomToPosting=&srchType=A&minAsk=&maxAsk=&bedrooms=&housing_type=

I am trying to access the latitude and longitude data from this webpage http://chicago.craigslist.org/search/apa?query=pilsen&zoomToPosting=&srchType=A&minAsk=&maxAsk=&bedrooms=&housing_type=

源看起来像这样:

<p class="row" data-latitude="41.8500405654737" data-longitude="-87.6500521703668"   data-pid="4005695169"> <a href="/chc/apa/4005695169.html" class="i"></a> <span class="pl">    <span class="star"></span> <span class="date">Aug 16</span>  <a href="/chc/apa/4005695169.html">UIC/ Medical Dist /Pilsen</a> </span> <span class="l2">  <span class="price">$850</span> / 1br -  <span class="pnr"> <small> (Pilsen)</small> <span class="px"> <span class="p"> <a href="#" class="maptag" data-pid="4005695169">map</a></span></span> </span>  </span></p>

我是 XPATH 的新手，我想知道是否可以使用它和 XML 包来获取数据.

I am new to XPATH and I am wondering if I can use it and the XML package to get the data.

我已经尝试过:

require(XML)
url <- "http://chicago.craigslist.org/search/apaquery=pilsen&zoomToPosting=&srchType=A&minAsk=&max  Ask=&bedrooms=&housing_type="

doc <- htmlParse(url)
latitude <- xpathApply(doc,path="//p[@data-latitude]",fun=xmlValue)

这给了我 p 标签的内容:

This gives me the content of the of the p tags:

[[1]]
[1] "Aug 16  AMAZING Pilsen 2bed SHOWING TODAY @6:30pm $695 / 2br - 725ft² -       

我想知道如何访问构成段落标记的信息，例如纬度(例如 41.8500405654737)感谢您的帮助！

I am wondering how to access information that forms the paragraph tag like the latitude (e.g. 41.8500405654737) Thanks for the help!

推荐答案

使用 xmlGetAttr 而不是 xmlValue with name = 'data-latitude'> 如果你只是想要一个特定的属性.如果你想要所有属性使用 xmlAttrs

Use xmlGetAttr rather then xmlValue with name = 'data-latitude' if you just want a specific attribute. If you want all attributes use xmlAttrs

latitude <- xpathSApply(doc,path="//p[@data-latitude]",fun = xmlGetAttr , name = 'data-latitude')
latitude
