RStudio Webinars: # 50- La Quinta Webscraping

General
1

Source of the project is the below RStudio webinar on web scraping:

Hello, my reprex is below.

  1. I believe the paths_allowed() , base_url , pages , html_nodes() and html_attr() are all updated correctly (given the website design changes since recording of the webinar).
  2. My pages value shows all the individual property URLs in View(pages) . (They end in "overview" not .html)
  3. I've discarded a few properties in Canada.
  4. I changed quiet = F in the walk() command so I could see the progress in the console.
  5. You will have to create your own data_dir (I don't know how to reprex that?)
  6. I end up with a file in 00_data_html called "overview" that has the .html code for one property.
  7. There should be 30 separate files; one for each La Quinta location.

Issue/Questions

    1. I'm wondering #6 and #7 above outcomes are because my URLs end in "overview" and not .html? I've played around with arguments in the download.file() function to no avail.
    1. Can't figure out why the walk() command/function is not generating the separate files for each property like in the webinar example?
    1. I'm not sure why the walk() function output is not in the reprex ? I'll add it in a reply to this thread.

I hope this reprex is easy enough for you to use. I ran it separately and it did "reprex"!

# Load packages -----------------------------------------------------

# Step 0: Check bot permission --------------------------------------

paths_allowed("https://www.wyndhamhotels.com/laquinta/locations")
#> www.wyndhamhotels.com
#> 
#> [1] TRUE

# Step 1: Create list of links to hotels ----------------------------

base_url <- "https://www.wyndhamhotels.com"

pages <- read_html(file.path(base_url,"laquinta/locations")) %>%
  html_nodes(".headline-d~ .property-list a:nth-child(1)") %>% 
  html_attr("href") %>%

  discard(str_detect, "laquinta/richmond-british-columbia/la-quinta-inn-vancouver-airport/overview") %>%
  file.path(base_url, .)

pages <- head(pages, 30) # use a subset for testing code

# Step 2 : Save hotels pages locally ---------------------------------

# Create a directory to store downloaded hotel pages
data_dir <- "00_data-html/"
dir.create(data_dir, showWarnings = FALSE)

# Create a progress bar
p <- progress_estimated(length(pages))

# Download each hotel page
walk(pages, function(url){
  download.file(url, destfile = file.path(data_dir, basename(url)), quiet = F)
  p$tick()$print()
})

In breaking the code down, I get also get the below output when commenting out the p object and function.

# Create a directory to store downloaded hotel pages
data_dir <- "00_data-html/"
dir.create(data_dir, showWarnings = T)

# Create a progress bar
#p <- progress_estimated(length(pages))

# Download each hotel page
walk(pages, function(url) {
  download.file(url, destfile = file.path(data_dir, basename(url)), quiet = F)
  #p$tick()$print()
})
#> Error in walk(pages, function(url) {: could not find function "walk"

Yet it appears the pages are downloading somewhere, the below is the output, not shown in the second reprex. The dowloaded items seen below are not in the created directory 00_data-html/.
