This is what I did:

library(rvest)

list[[i]] <- read_html(link)

save(list, path = "path.Rdata")

Then I closed and reopened the environment.

load("path.Rdata")

list[[i]]

`Error in doc_type(x) : external pointer is not valid`

Can anyone explain the problem here? How can I solve it?

Saving tens of thousands of HTMLs took almost a day from me. I prefer a solution that uses the current local files.

I actually don’t know what to do now!
