QUESTION
I am trying to create a function that I can import into Google Sheets to view the latest bills from this website. A problem that I am having is that when I create only one variable to be appended to the Google Sheet this code will work and append the first cell. But when I create multiple variables using the same logic, but for different parts of the xml file that this link brings you to, it gives me this error even when I create completely different variables for the original document and root: TypeError: Cannot read property 'getValue' of null. Would anyone be able to show me what I am doing wrong so that I can at least get it so that all of these items can be appended to the Google Sheet through solving for this error and show me a way to do a loop to get all these items?
...ANSWER
Answered 2021-Jan-25 at 01:03I believe your goal as follows.
- You want to retrieve the values of
legislativeSession, title, category, pubDate, description, link
in order using Google Apps Script. - You want to put the retrieved values to Google Spreadsheet.
- In the case of
derss:legislativeSession
,derss
is the name space. So in this case, it is required to use the name space. - When I saw your XML data, there are many
item
tags. But in your script, 1stitem
is trying to be retrieved. - When the values from all
items
are retrieved, whenappendRow
is used in a loop, the process cost will become high.
When above points are reflected to your script, it becomes as follows.

I'm trying to make several requests to the BoardGameGeek (BGG) API and after a certain amount of requests within a certain time frame, I get timed out (status code 429). I've tried a couple of libraries to try and get this to work.
I've tried using the simple-rate-limiter library as below, but this didn't work because BGG seems pretty aggressive with their rate limiting and they don't publish official limits anyways.
...ANSWER
Answered 2020-Jul-29 at 00:14This solution is specifically for the BoardGameGeek API.
So instead of doing a bunch of individual requests such as:
/xmlapi2/thing?stats=1&id=188920
/xmlapi2/thing?stats=1&id=174476
You can batch them all into one request like this:
/xmlapi2/thing?stats=1&id=188920,174476
This means that you're only sending off 1 request and will not get rate limited.
I did find out that this still does fail if you attach over ~1200 game ids though. The server responds with 414 Request-URI Too Large
.
Here's an example of that error.
If you need more then 1200 then you'll probably have to split the game ids and make multiple requests so that you only request 1200 at a time.

QUESTION
I'm pretty much brand new to web scraping with rvest.. and really new to most everything except Qlik coding.
I am attempting to scrape data found at board game geek, see the below link. Using inspect, it certainly seems possible, but yet rvest is not finding the tags. I first thought I had to go through the whole javascript process using V8 (javascript is called at the top of the html), but when I just use html_text on the whole document, all the information I need is in there.
*UPDATE: It appears to be in JSON. I used a combination of notepad++ and web tool to clean it and load into R. Any recommendations on tutorials/demos for how to do this systematically? I have all the links I need to loop through, but not sure how to go from the html_text output to a clean JSON input via code. *
I provided examples below, but I need to scrape the majority of the data elements available, so not looking for code to copy and paste but rather the best method to pursue. See below.

HTML Example I am trying to pull from. Span returns nothing with html_nodes so I couldn't even start there.
...ANSWER
Answered 2020-Apr-06 at 11:53Are you aware, that BGG has an API? Documentation can be found here: URL
The code will be provided as XML file. So for your example you can get the ID of your game - your example is 63888 (its in the URL). So the xml file can be found at: https://www.boardgamegeek.com/xmlapi2/thing?id=63888
You can read the info with this code:
QUESTION
I know nothing about Ruby and have been trying to install the squib gem on Windows 10 with little success.
On my first attempt, I installed Ruby 2.6.5-1 using RubyInstaller.exe. I don't remember the error code, but squib did not install. (I believe it was "make failed, exit code 1")
Then, I found out that I did not install MSYS2. So, I uninstalled Ruby and reinstalled, making sure to install MSYS2. Squib refused to install properly yet again.
Therefore, I took to the help pages and found support in a thread called "Windows install issue?". I was sure that this was my saving grace.
It wasn't.
I also tried the fixes listed in "trouble downloading" even though the OP's OS did not match mine. It didn't work.
I tried to install squib with bundler as well, but it did not work. I was not surprised.
I read some random thing somewhere saying that there may be conflicts with the newest version of Ruby. (2.6.5-1 at the time) So I used some downgrade Ruby magic to get to Ruby 2.5.7-??. Then something baffling happened. Squib failed to install. (The post was old and squib had been updated long ago)
UPDATE: I have uninstalled and reinstalled Ruby again. This time around I used the optional MSYS2 Update after installing MSYS2 in the rubyinstaller.exe. Still no luck. I believe it has to do with "glib2" whatever that is.
I am looking for advice on what to do next as I am sure I am missing something.
Thanks, Edgar
(This is the regurgitation from my most recent attempt.)
...ANSWER
Answered 2020-Apr-01 at 16:23So it seems like the version of glib2 that squib is calling for is not installing correctly on my Windows 10 system. After multiple attempts I discovered a work around that can get squib installed. It requires you to have a "subsystem for Linux" not as bad as it sounds, follow me:
1. Head to this site
2. Scroll down to the "Using the Windows Subsystem for Linux" section.
3. Follow all instructions after "Using the Windows Subsystem for Linux" and before "Bonus points!".
4. Once ruby is installed. Type the code below into your terminal:

I am Scraping data using BeautifulSoup but getting an empty result when selecting any tag, here is my code.
...ANSWER
Answered 2020-Feb-21 at 16:44Some dynamic contents are not rendered when scraping with BeautifulSoup
. What you're seeing in browser vs what your scraper is getting is markedly different. (You can export page.content and compare). You'll need a different module like selenium
or request-html
that can handle dynamic contents
If you want some data from the web-page then you can get the java-script variable and extract data according to your need. You can go through this thread in stack-overflow for further help

The goal of the Scrapper is to analyze which board games got most thumbs up and print them out in sorted list. Basically a dictionary of "name: thumbs up". Here is the list of games I want to sort: https://boardgamegeek.com/geeklist/268396/20-most-anticipated-games-2020-11th-year-nominatio
