Yesterday I successfully executed my first web scraping in R  It was my first time investigating a website so deeply. I also learned that dynamic pages are a pain to scrape from. Still, I'm curious to try other pages!

@hadleywickham You asked on Twitter last fall for #rvest examples that don't work. This used to pull the latest version of #RStudio but doesn't work anymore (unless I save the page first)

spans <- xml2::read_html("https://posit.co/download/rstudio-desktop/") |>
rvest::html_element(".mt-\\[40px\\].body-md-regular") |>
rvest::html_elements("span") |>
rvest::html_text() |>
stringr::str_extract("Version: .*")

rstudio_latest_version <- spans[!is.na(spans)] |>
stringr::str_extract("[0-9.\\+]+")

With the goal of learning my students’ names and faces faster, I wrote an R script that will convert a roster (“People” in a Canvas course) to a gt table for later customization
