如何使用循环从R中抓取多个网页的网站数据? [英] How can I use a loop to scrape website data for multiple webpages in R?

问题描述

我想应用循环从R中的多个网页中抓取数据.我能够为一个网页抓取数据，但是当我尝试对多个页面使用循环时，会出现令人沮丧的错误.我花了几个小时修补，无济于事.任何帮助将不胜感激！！！

I would like to apply a loop to scrape data from multiple webpages in R. I am able to scrape the data for one webpage, however when I attempt to use a loop for multiple pages, I get a frustrating error. I have spent hours tinkering, to no avail. Any help would be greatly appreciated!!!

这有效:

###########################
# GET COUNTRY DATA
###########################

library("rvest")

site <- paste("http://www.countryreports.org/country/","Norway",".htm", sep="")
site <- html(site)

stats<-
    data.frame(names =site %>% html_nodes(xpath="//*/td[1]") %>% html_text() ,
         facts =site %>% html_nodes(xpath="//*/td[2]") %>% html_text() ,
         stringsAsFactors=FALSE)

stats$country <- "Norway"
stats$names   <- gsub('[\r\n\t]', '', stats$names)
stats$facts   <- gsub('[\r\n\t]', '', stats$facts)
View(stats)

但是，当我尝试在一个循环中编写此代码时，会收到错误消息

However, when I attempt to write this in a loop, I receive an error

###########################
# ATTEMPT IN A LOOP
###########################

country<-c("Norway","Sweden","Finland","France","Greece","Italy","Spain")

for(i in country){

site <- paste("http://www.countryreports.org/country/",country,".htm", sep="")
site <- html(site)

stats<-
data.frame(names =site %>% html_nodes(xpath="//*/td[1]") %>% html_text() ,
         facts =site %>% html_nodes(xpath="//*/td[2]") %>% html_text() ,
       stringsAsFactors=FALSE)

stats$country <- country
stats$names   <- gsub('[\r\n\t]', '', stats$names)
stats$facts   <- gsub('[\r\n\t]', '', stats$facts)

stats<-rbind(stats,stats)
stats<-stats[!duplicated(stats),]
}

错误:

Error: length(url) == 1 is not TRUE
In addition: Warning message:
In if (grepl("^http", x)) { :
  the condition has length > 1 and only the first element will be used

推荐答案

最终工作代码:

###########################
# THIS WORKS!!!!
###########################

country<-c("Norway","Sweden","Finland","France","Greece","Italy","Spain")

for(i in country){

site <- paste("http://www.countryreports.org/country/",i,".htm", sep="")
site <- html(site)

stats<-
data.frame(names =site %>% html_nodes(xpath="//*/td[1]") %>% html_text() ,
     facts =site %>% html_nodes(xpath="//*/td[2]") %>% html_text() ,
       stringsAsFactors=FALSE)

stats$nm <- i
stats$names   <- gsub('[\r\n\t]', '', stats$names)
stats$facts   <- gsub('[\r\n\t]', '', stats$facts)
#stats<-stats[!duplicated(stats),]
all<-rbind(all,stats)

}
 View(all)
