How diversely do we read? Web scrapping in R

In this workshop, we will provide an introduction to web scraping in R using the package {rvest}.

We'll go through some examples together, learning the basic structure of webpages and exploring different ways to extract data from a website.

The workshop is intended to be fun, and we'll be web scraping and web querying data about books and their authors to answer the question of how diversely do we read. Therefore it doesn't matter if you are a beginner or if you are an R expert, this workshop is for everyone!

Looking forward to see you!
