使用httr进行网络抓取时出现xml_nodeset错误

时间:2018-09-27 19:28:42

标签: r xml-parsing

我尝试复制网址进行抓取。它从给定的startDate到endDate循环,这是我的代码;

startDate <- as.Date("01-11-17", format="%d-%m-%y")
endDate <- as.Date("31-01-18",format="%d-%m-%y")
theDay <- startDate
while (theDay <= endDate)
{ 
  dy <- as.character(theDay, format="%d")
  month <- as.character(theDay, format = "%m")
  year <- as.character(theDay, format ="%Y")
  wyoming <- "http://weather.uwyo.edu/cgi-bin/sounding?region=seasia&TYPE=TEXT%3ALIST&YEAR="
  address <- paste0(wyoming,year,"&MONTH=",month,"&FROM=",dy,"00&T0=",dy,"00&STNM=48657")
  print(address)
 theDay = theDay + 1
} 

我不太了解html,但是我喜欢这段代码https://stackoverflow.com/a/52539658/7356308如何将数据转换为数据框,以便以后使用。它收集网页响应并将数据提取到实际的列名中。它的工作正常..直到我合并循环任务。说明;

Error in wx_dat[[1]] : subscript out of bounds

对此有何建议...谢谢

library(httr)
library(rvest)
startDate <- as.Date("01-11-17", format="%d-%m-%y")
endDate <- as.Date("31-01-18",format="%d-%m-%y")

theDay <- startDate
while (theDay <= endDate)
{ 
  dy <- as.character(theDay, format="%d")
  month <- as.character(theDay, format = "%m")
  year <- as.character(theDay, format ="%Y")
  httr::GET(
    url = "http://weather.uwyo.edu/cgi-bin/sounding",
    query = list(
      region = "seasia",
      TYPE = "TEXT:list",
      YEAR = year,
      MONTH = month,
      FROM = paste0(dy,"00"), #is this the root of problem?
      STNM = "48657"
    )
  ) -> res

  #becoming html document
  httr::content(res, as="parsed") %>% html_nodes("pre")-> wx_dat
  #extract data
  html_text(wx_dat[[1]]) %>%           # turn the first <pre> node into text
    strsplit("\n") %>%                 # split it into lines
    unlist() %>%                       # turn it back into a character vector
    { col_names <<- .[3]; . } %>%      # pull out the column names
    .[-(1:5)] %>%                      # strip off the header
    paste0(collapse="\n") -> readings  # turn it back into a big text blob
  readr::read_table(readings, col_names = tolower(unlist(strsplit(trimws(col_names),"\ +"))))

  #data <- read_table(readings, col_names = tolower(unlist(strsplit(trimws(col_names),"\ +"))))
  #to write csv..
  print(theDay)
  theDay = theDay + 1
}

事实证明,有些日子没有车站数据。 O_o

由于您可能真的想分析此数据,而是通过SO交互缓慢地达到了这一点(我不会怪您),因此,将前面的httr调用包装到一个不错的功能:

#'        values of the drop-down menu on the site)

以上内容已被广泛评论,因此我将不做进一步解释。

现在我们可以进行迭代:

# get the start/end range
startDate <- as.Date("01-11-17", format="%d-%m-%y")
endDate <- as.Date("31-01-18",format="%d-%m-%y")

# make a sequence
days <- seq(startDate, endDate, "1 day")

# apply the sequence — note that I am not going to hit the server >80x for 
# an example and *you* should add a Sys.sleep(5) before the call to 
# get_sounding_data() to be kind to their servers.
lapply(days[1:4], function(day) {
  get_sounding_data(
    region = "seasia",
    date = day,
    from_hr = "00",
    to_hr = "00",
    station_number = "48657"
  )
}) -> soundings_48657

如果某个站点在特定日期没有数据,则会有关于它的警告,因此您可以执行此操作以检查由于没有数据而缺少的天数。

warnings()
## Warning message:

这就是我们拥有的,请注意,第一个元素为空白b / c,该日没有数据:

请注意,^^中有日期/从/到(请看底行),因此您可以通过整洁的分析来发疯。

我还没有使用all / from_hr的{​​{1}}参数对它进行测试,因此可能会破坏它。如果是这样,请执行ping操作,然后我会做什么。

答案 1 :(得分:2)

我已经将该函数封装到non-CRAN package中。您可以:

devtools::install_git("https://gitlab.com/hrbrmstr/unsound.git")

然后:

library(tidyverse)

startDate <- as.Date("01-11-17", format="%d-%m-%y")
endDate <- as.Date("31-01-18",format="%d-%m-%y")

# make a sequence
days <- seq(startDate, endDate, "1 day")

# apply the sequence — note that I am not going to hit the server >80x for 
# an example and *you* should add a Sys.sleep(5) before the call to

我还添加了一个函数来检索预先生成的地图:

get_sounding_map(
  station_number = "48657", 
  date = Sys.Date()-1, 
  map_type = "skewt", 
  map_format = "gif", 
  region = "seasia", 
  from_hr = "00", 
  to_hr = "00"
)
