I have been searching and reading number of rvest related articles on how to web scrape. Unfortunately, my attempts to learn various components involved has been unsuccessful. I understand some HTML syntax and am fluent in r but this is my first time working with rvest.

This is the source (inspect view):

I’m trying to extract various pieces of information. I started with a test case on ” title”. Here is my code so far…

read_html(x) %>% html_elements(xpath = "//*[@class = 'container']") %>% 
html_elements(xpath = ".//*[@class = 'searching row']") %>% 
html_elements(xpath = ".//*[@class = 'col-sm-8']")  %>% 
html_elements(xpath = ".//*[@class = 'results']") %>% 
html_text()

"n    "

As you can see, in the results class, I’m getting blank. What can I change to make this code work?

Thank you.
