I am able to scrape the infobox on any Wikipedia site using rvest but I want to do the same on a wiki page but can't get it working ...
The link: https://dc.fandom.com/wiki/Wonder_Woman_(Diana_Prince) On the page you have the infobox (which looks like a normal Wikipedia table) the CSS selector appears to be ".pi-layout-default"
I want a data frame that contains the real name, aliases etc..
Any idea on how to do this?
Use rvest and selectorgadet!
library(rvest)
library(tidyverse)
read_html("https://dc.fandom.com/wiki/Wonder_Woman_(Diana_Prince)") %>%
html_nodes(".pi-font , .pi-data-label") %>%
html_text() %>%
matrix(ncol = 2, byrow = TRUE) %>%
as_tibble()
