I can't seem to ever get html_table()
to work.
This is a perfect example: (Trying to scrape the 6 Games: table)
library(rvest)
hockey <- html("http://www.hockey-reference.com/boxscores/2015/3/6/")
hockey %>%
html_nodes("#stats .tooltip , #stats td , #stats a") %>%
html_table()
But I am getting a html_tag(x) == "table" is not TRUE
. It's so obviously a table.
How can I coerce rvest to recognize the node as a table?
Try either:
hockey %>% html_table(fill = TRUE)
to parse all the tables on the page, or
hockey %>% html_nodes("#stats") %>% html_table()
to parse just the first one you're after.
