Web Scraping: Issues With Set_values and crawlr

QUESTION

Web Scraping: Issues With Set_values and crawlr

Asked 2018-Jun-26 at 15:24

My Goal: Using R, scrape all light bulb model #s and prices from homedepot. My Problem: I can not find the URLs for ALL the light bulb pages. I can scrape one page, but I need to find a way to get the URLs so I can scrape them all.

Ideally I would like these pages https://www.homedepot.com/p/TOGGLED-48-in-T8-16-Watt-Cool-White-Linear-LED-Tube-Light-Bulb-A416-40210/205935901

but even getting the list pages like these would be ok https://www.homedepot.com/b/Lighting-Light-Bulbs/N-5yc1vZbmbu

I tried crawlr -> Does not work on homedepot (maybe because https?)I tried to get specific pages I tried Rvest -> I tried using html_form and set_values to put light bulb in the search box, but the form comes back

...

You can do it through rvest and tidyverse.

You can find a listing of all bulbs starting in this page, with a pagination of 24 bulbs per page across 30 pages:

https://www.homedepot.com/b/Lighting-Light-Bulbs-LED-Bulbs/N-5yc1vZbm79

Take a look at the pagination grid at the bottom of the initial page. I drew a(n ugly) yellow oval around it:

You could extract the link to each page listing 24 bulbs by following/extracting the links in that pagination grid.

Yet, just by comparing the urls it becomes evident that all pages follow a pattern, with "https://www.homedepot.com/b/Lighting-Light-Bulbs-LED-Bulbs/N-5yc1vZbm79" as root, and a tail where the last digit characters represent the first lightbulb displayed, "?Nao=24"

So you could simply infer the structure of each url pointing to a display of the bulbs. The following command creates such a list in R:
