What is this?

In this tutorial, James Balamuta demonstrates how to scrape both static and JavaScript-driven websites using R and the chromote package. The tutorial includes a video walkthrough covering:

  1. Scraping static content from r-project.org.

  2. Extracting dynamic weather data from Windy.com.

  3. Cleaning and summarizing the extracted data.

This resource is particularly useful for those looking to handle web content rendered by JavaScript, which traditional scraping methods might not capture effectively.
