从 NBA.com 上抓取数据 [英] Scraping data off of NBA.com

问题描述

我正在尝试从

I'm trying to scrape data off roster data from http://stats.nba.com/team/#!/1610612742/. So far, I've tried RCurl and XML packages and the code I'v tried is as follows:

library(RCurl)
library(XML)
webpage <- getURL("http://stats.nba.com/team/#!/1610612742/")
webpage <- readLines(tc <- textConnection(webpage));
pagetree <- htmlTreeParse(webpage, useInternalNodes = TRUE)
x <- unlist(xpathApply(pagetree,"//*nba-stat-table_overflow/player",xmlValue))
Content <- gsub(pattern = "([\t\n])",
            replacement = " ", x = x, ignore.case = TRUE)

I believe that my xpathApply function is formatted wrong. What path should I give it to get to the roster table?

You could do this:

require(rvest)
require(httr)
require(purrr)


ses <- html_session("http://stats.nba.com/team/#!/1610612742/",
                    user_agent("Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh; Intel Mac OS X 10_12_3) AppleWebKit/537.36 (KHTML, like Gecko) Chrome/56.0.2924.87 Safari/537.36"))
doc <- ses %>% jump_to("http://stats.nba.com/stats/commonteamroster?LeagueID=00&Season=2016-17&TeamID=1610612742")
res <- content(doc$response, "parsed")

res$resultSets[[1]]$rowSet %>% 
  map_df(~as.data.frame(t(.)))

res$resultSets[[2]]$rowSet %>% 
  map_df(~as.data.frame(t(.)))

#          V1   V2        V3      V4        V5                V6                V7 V8                                     V9

How did i find this:

I inspected all the XHR calls that the website made and found that it needs a session (thats why i create one using html_session) and set a user agent (not sure this is really required...) without the UA my request got stuck for >30 sec...
