在使用rvest进行抓取时输入缺少值的NA

我想在最近的一次会议上使用rvest来抓取一个有头衔和会话时间的页面,然后将这些值组合成一个单词

library(tibble)
library(rvest)

url <- "https://channel9.msdn.com/Events/useR-international-R-User-conferences/useR-International-R-User-2017-Conference?sort=status&direction=desc&page=14"

title <- page %>% 
      html_nodes("h3 a") %>% 
      html_text()

length <- page %>% 
      html_nodes(".tile .caption") %>% 
      html_text()

df <- tibble(title,length)

如果您查看该页面,您会看到其中一个会话没有任何价值 - 而在View源中,此话题没有class="caption"

我有什么方法可以替换NA来显示缺失值吗?

最简单的方法是选择一个节点,该节点包含每行所需的两个节点,然后迭代它们,同时拉出所需的两个节点。 purrr::map_df不仅可以迭代,还可以将结果组合成一个漂亮的元素:

library(rvest)
library(purrr)

url <- "https://channel9.msdn.com/Events/useR-international-R-User-conferences/useR-International-R-User-2017-Conference?sort=status&direction=desc&page=14"

page <- read_html(url)

df <- page %>% 
    html_nodes('article') %>%    # select enclosing nodes
    # iterate over each, pulling out desired parts and coerce to data.frame
    map_df(~list(title = html_nodes(.x, 'h3 a') %>% 
                     html_text() %>% 
                     {if(length(.) == 0) NA else .},    # replace length-0 elements with NA
                 length = html_nodes(.x, '.tile .caption') %>% 
                     html_text() %>% 
                     {if(length(.) == 0) NA else .}))

我遇到了同样的问题,但是我设法使其工作而没有涉及包围两个指定节点的节点。

使用您的代码将是:

library(tibble)
library(rvest)

url <- "https://channel9.msdn.com/Events/useR-international-R-User-conferences/useR-International-R-User-2017-Conference?sort=status&direction=desc&page=14"

title <- page %>% 
      html_nodes("h3 a") %>% 
      html_text() %>% 
                     {if(length(.) == 0) NA else .

length <- page %>% 
      html_nodes(".tile .caption") %>% 
      html_text() %>% 
                     {if(length(.) == 0) NA else .

df <- tibble(title,length)
