Tom Brady Data Analytics - Web Scraping NFL Data Using R

[@haraldurkarlsson1147]

Very instructive. I had a similar situation with a table (actually imported not scraped) that contained the same variable twice in the colums (e.g. Sample for one and then a, b, c etc. and sample with a, b, c). The way I handled this was to separate the data into two tables - clean up the tables and then rejoin them.

I notice that one can choose wide format for the columns on the website which eliminates the intermediate subheadings. However, I am not sure how to locate the html tags or css for that.

Amazing Samer. I really got a good case to implement those ideas and just did
however, I have couple of column names that have this at the beginning
"^cumulative_cumulative_"
how would I use across or something similar to replace all those column names with a single "cumulative_"

[@SamerHijjazi]

you could use str_replace_all to replace all the cumulative_cumulative_ instances with cumulative_

Please help I am getting the error "Error in UseMethod("html_table") :
no applicable method for 'html_table' applied to an object of class "xml_missing"

The janitor package might be able to deal with the column names.

[@SamerHijjazi]

I had discovered that package much later lol
