rvest html_nodes() returns 空字符

Question

我正在尝试抓取网站 (https://genelab-data.ndc.nasa.gov/genelab/projects?page=1&paginate_by=281)。特别是，我试图抓取所有 281 个“发布日期”（第一个是“2006 年 10 月 30 日”）

为此，我使用了 R 包 rvest 和 SelectorGadget Chrome 扩展。我正在使用 Mac 版本 10.15.6.

我尝试了以下代码：

library(rvest)
library(httr)
library(xml2)
library(dplyr)

link = "https://genelab-data.ndc.nasa.gov/genelab/projects?page=1&paginate_by=281"
page = read_html(link)    
year = page %>% html_nodes("td:nth-child(4) ul") %>% html_text()

但是，这个 returns 'character(0)'.

我使用代码 td:nth-child(4) ul 因为这是 SelectorGadget 为 281 个发布日期中的每一个突出显示的内容。我也试过“查看源页面”，但在源页面上找不到这些年份。

我了解到 rvest 并不总是有效，具体取决于网站类型。在这种情况下，可能的解决方法是什么？谢谢。

此站点从 API 调用 https://genelab-data.ndc.nasa.gov/genelab/data/study/all returns JSON 数据中获取数据。您可以使用 httr 获取数据并解析 JSON :

library(httr)

url <- "https://genelab-data.ndc.nasa.gov/genelab/data/study/all"

output <- content(GET(url), as = "parsed", type = "application/json")

#sort by glds_id
output = output[order(sapply(output, `[[`, i = "glds_id"))]

#build dataframe
result <- list();
index <- 1
for(t in output[length(output):1]){
    result[[index]] <- t$metadata
    result[[index]]$accession <- t$accession
    result[[index]]$legacy_accession <- t$legacy_accession
    index <- index + 1
}

df <- do.call(rbind, result)
options(width = 1200)
print(df)

输出样本（不含所有列）
