html_nodes fail to get data, return xml_nodeset (0)

[isaid]

Hi, I'm trying to get data from this website:
UPMC Hospitals

I only want the names of each Hospitals in the Southwest Pa. (12 in total)
The SelectorGadget identiffy this node #accordion_920f1b98-2bd1-4afa-b9b2-4b1838a4ee91 .panel-title

I'm using this code

link <- 'https://www.upmc.com/locations/hospitals'
pg <- read_html(url(link))
node <- html_nodes(pg, "#accordion_920f1b98-2bd1-4afa-b9b2-4b1838a4ee91 .panel-title")
html_text(node)

And it return {xml_nodeset (0)}

I'm not sure why the SelectorGadget value is not working. Below is another (longer) route to get to the desired data.

library(rvest)
library(tidyverse)

my_region = "Southwest Pa."
link <- 'https://www.upmc.com/locations/hospitals'
pg <- read_html(url(link))

# scrape regions first
regions = html_nodes(pg, 'h2') %>% html_text()

# scrape regions and hospitals
node <- html_nodes(pg, "h2, .panel-title") %>% html_text()

# create data frame to filter to desired list
data.frame(node = node) %>%
  mutate(region = ifelse(node %in% regions, node, NA)) %>%
  fill(region) %>%
  filter(region == my_region & region != node) %>%
  pull(node)
#>  [1] "UPMC Children's Hospital of Pittsburgh: Pittsburgh, Pa. (Lawrenceville)"
#>  [2] "UPMC East: Monroeville, Pa."                                            
#>  [3] "UPMC Magee-Womens Hospital: Pittsburgh, Pa. (Oakland)"

#>  [9] "UPMC Presbyterian: Pittsburgh, Pa. (Oakland)"

# scrape regions and hospitals
node <- html_nodes(pg, "h2, .panel-title") %>% html_text()

Can you please tell how did you get the .panel-title in html_nodes function?

[scottyd22]

Using the SelectorGadget, I clicked on "Southwest PA." and the first hospital underneath. The tool returned "h2, .panel-title".

Aah I see, thank you!
