By using from, you're directly importing the name CookieJar from either http.cookiejar or cookielib. Regardless, the line cj = cookielib.CookieJar() would never work, because you've not imported the name cookielib in either case. You just need to do cj = CookieJar().

QUESTION

Using ruby mechanize on forms not in tag?

Asked 2021-Dec-02 at 12:49

So I'm trying to web scrape a site which has what I would consider a form - several inputs to specialize search such as s and text inputs - that is not within tags. Rather, they seem to be grouped in s. The site queries using JavaScript from there, so essentially all I want to do is fill out the 'form' (various inputs) and then hit the submit button and safe the info returned. However, I can't find a way in mechanize to grab buttons, selects, etc. that aren't in forms. Is there a way?

Mechanize cannot work on JS interactive websites.

For web scraping, I would suggest using Kimurai framework. It is built on top of Mechanize.

Kimurai is a modern web scraping framework written in Ruby which works out of box with Headless Chromium/Firefox, PhantomJS, or simple HTTP requests and allows to scrape and interact with JavaScript rendered websites.

Use any of the JS engines available while scraping.

You can execute JS which triggers an event to show form and there on you can use capybara helpers to fill in the form and submit

All the power of Capybara: use methods like click_on, fill_in, select, choose, set, go_back, etc. to

Looked after that image on wikipedia and it renders just fine. Opened it in a new tab and compared the url from the browser to what mechanize has.

Unescaping the url, did the trick.

As you mention bs4 you can mimic the POST request the page makes. Extract the json item which contains the html the page would have been updated with (containing the results); parse that into BeautifulSoup object then reconstruct the results table as a dataframe:

R Shiny app loads, but radio buttons do not select values properly

Asked 2021-May-06 at 07:47

This is my first time using stack overflow so apologies if I do this wrong.

I'm fairly new to coding in R and I'm trying to make a simple Shiny app using a TidyTuesday dataset. I wanted to make a map with points showing the different types of water systems ("water_tech") and radio buttons to choose which type of water system is plotted on the map. I got the app to load without an error message, however no matter which button is selected, all of the different types of water systems are plotted on the map, not just the one I selected (essentially, the buttons don't work). If anyone has any ideas about what could be causing this to happen I would greatly appreciate it!
