I'm trying to scrape football projections from accuscore.com for the different positions (right now the projections are set to zeros, but that will change). I can get the QB projections, but I can't get the projections for any of the other positions (e.g., RB). How can I get the RB projections?
I'm not sure what the actual website for the RB and other projections is. When I go to the main website for the football projections ( http://accuscore.com/fantasy-sports/nfl-fantasy-sports/), it displays the QB projections. When I click on another position (e.g., RB) it displays a new URL ( http://accuscore.com/fantasy-sports/nfl-fantasy-sports/Rest-of-Season-RB). When I enter this new URL into the readHTMLTable function, I receive the following error: Error in htmlParse(" http://accuscore.com/fantasy-sports/nfl-fantasy-sports/Rest-of-Season-RB/";) : error in creating parser for http://accuscore.com/fantasy-sports/nfl-fantasy-sports/Rest-of-Season-RB/ What's going on? Might this have something to do with Javascript? How can I scrape the RB projections ( http://accuscore.com/fantasy-sports/nfl-fantasy-sports/Rest-of-Season-RB)? Thanks in advance! library("XML") #this works fine (QB projections) qb <- readHTMLTable("http://accuscore.com/fantasy-sports/nfl-fantasy-sports/";, header=1)$fantasy_table #this produces an error (RB projections) rb <- readHTMLTable(" http://accuscore.com/fantasy-sports/nfl-fantasy-sports/Rest-of-Season-RB";, header=1)$fantasy_table [[alternative HTML version deleted]] ______________________________________________ R-help@r-project.org mailing list https://stat.ethz.ch/mailman/listinfo/r-help PLEASE do read the posting guide http://www.R-project.org/posting-guide.html and provide commented, minimal, self-contained, reproducible code.
