Web Scraping with rvest
Details
Hi folks,
Thank you all for the great inputs regarding how to go virtual. Two types of event were preferred:
- hands-on session
- speaker diving into a specific subject
People also strongly preferred to have after-work sessions during the week.
Also thank you to the people who offered to lead a session. We will follow-up with you in the coming weeks. Feel free to reach out if you would like to lead a session.
We thus would like to invite you to a hands-on session on how to do web scraping using the rvest package on Tue July 21. After some time to socialize, I will do a short example of web scraping using rvest followed by an exercise to do in small groups. If you have your own example you would like to showcase, please feel free to reach out!
Please make sure you have installed a recent version of the tidyverse and rvest before joining. We also recommended using a headset.
See you there!
Julien and Chris
