I was trying to import (scrape) sets of tables on a news blog post online using xml2's read_html(), hence html.table()
and XML::readHTMLTable()
functions.
I got no table or anything useful with
readHTMLTable("https://www.theabusites.com/197-nuc-approved-universities-in-nigeria-2021/",...,
header=TRUE, stringAsFactor=FALSE)
#Note: not CSV or html tag. It returns ? unable to find the inherited method for the function 'readHTMLTable' for signature " NULL"', also <XML contents does not seem to be XML.> What can I do? Also, rvest, too, returns the error flag, "Error in open.connection(x, "rb") : Couldn't connect to server" - What is causing this error message? Thanks in advance
