Question

我试图使用rvest包从CABI invasive species compendium提取有关入侵植物物种位置的数据。

看了几个教程，我发现我应该能够很容易地从表中抓取数据。但是，我一直遇到困难。

我想说我想要物种Brassica tournefortii的位置数据。我应该能够使用这个代码，它使用outlined here技术来获取物种记录位置的详细信息。

 library(rvest)
 isc<-read_html("http://www.cabi.org/isc/datasheet/50069")
 isc %>% 
 html_node("#toDistributionTable td:nth-child(1)") %>%
 html_text()

但是，运行此代码我收到错误

Error: No matches

我是webscraping的新手。我做错了什么吗？

首先，我希望我能更多地投资你。最后一个刮刮问题不是$ SPORTSBALL或$ MONEY相关！： - ）

该网站是邪恶的。它使用需要处理的嵌入式命名空间，这也意味着使用xml2包：

library(rvest)
library(xml2)

isc <- read_html("http://www.cabi.org/isc/datasheet/50069")

ns <- xml_ns(isc)

xml_text(xml_find_all(isc, xpath="//div[@id='toDistributionTable']/table/tbody/tr/td[1]", ns))
