Web Scraping using rvest in R -


i have been trying scrap information url in r using rvest package: 

url <-'https://eprocure.gov.in/cppp/tendersfullview/id%3dnde4mty4ma%3d%3d/zmvhyzk5nwvimwm1ntdmzgmxywyzn2jkytu1ymq5nzu%3d/mtuwmjk3mtg4nq%3d%3d'

but not able correctly identity xpath after using selector plugin.

the code using fetching first table follows:

detail_data <- read_html(url) detail_data_raw <- html_nodes(detail_data, xpath='//*[@id="edit-t- fullview"]/table[2]/tbody/tr[2]/td/table') detail_data_fine <- html_table(detail_data_raw)

when try above code, detail_data_raw results in {xml_nodeset (0)} , consequently detail_data_fine empty list()

the information interested in scrapping under headers:

organisation details

tender details

critical dates

work details

tender inviting authority details

any or ideas in going wrong , how rectify welcome.

your example url isn't working anyone, if you're looking data particular tender, then:

library(rvest) library(stringi) library(tidyverse)  pg <- read_html("https://eprocure.gov.in/mmp/tendersfullview/id%3d2262207")  html_nodes(pg, xpath=".//table[@class='viewtablebg']/tr/td[1]") %>%    html_text(trim=true) %>%    stri_replace_last_regex("\ +:$", "") %>%    stri_replace_all_fixed(" ", "_") %>%    stri_trans_tolower() -> tenders_cols  html_nodes(pg, xpath=".//table[@class='viewtablebg']/tr/td[2]") %>%    html_text(trim=true) %>%    as.list() %>%    set_names(tenders_cols) %>%    flatten_df() %>%    glimpse() ## observations: 1 ## variables: 15 ## $ organisation_name            <chr> "delhi jal board" ## $ organisation_type            <chr> "state govt. , ut" ## $ tender_reference_number      <chr> "short nit. no.20 (item no.1) ee ... ## $ tender_title                 <chr> "short nit. no.20 (item no.1)" ## $ product_category             <chr> "civil works" ## $ tender_fee                   <chr> "rs.500" ## $ tender_type                  <chr> "open/advertised" ## $ epublished_date              <chr> "18-aug-2017 05:15 pm" ## $ document_download_start_date <chr> "18-aug-2017 05:15 pm" ## $ bid_submission_start_date    <chr> "18-aug-2017 05:15 pm" ## $ work_description             <chr> "replacement of settled deep sewe... ## $ pre_qualification            <chr> "please refer tender documents." ## $ tender_document              <chr> "https://govtprocurement.delhi.go... ## $ name                         <chr> "executive engineer (north)-ii" ## $ address                      <chr> "executive engineer (north)-ii\r\...

seems work fine w/o installing python , using selenium.

Is there a better way to structure post methods in Class Based Views -

i'm using class based views in django , never specify url in ajax calls , omit action parameter in form because know these requests go through post method of class based view. notice view - profile page make many requests depending on user updating on page - post method become convoluted , if/else mess example: def post(self, request, *args, **kwargs): # handle user changing available date if request.post.get('availabledate') != none: self.updateavailabledate(request) return jsonresponse({'result':'success'}) if request.post.get('newprojectname') != none: creative_user = creativeuserprofile.objects.get(id = request.user.id) project = project.create_project(creative_user, request.post['newprojectname']) project.save() return jsonresponse({'projectid': project.id }) if request.post.get('projectimage') != none , request.files['file']: proj

performance - Why is XCHG reg, reg a 3 micro-op instruction on modern Intel architectures? -

i'm doing micro-optimization on performance critical part of code , came across sequence of instructions (in at&t syntax): add %rax, %rbx mov %rdx, %rax mov %rbx, %rdx i thought had use case xchg allow me shave instruction , write: add %rbx, %rax xchg %rax, %rdx however, dimay found agner fog's instruction tables , xchg 3 micro-op instruction 2 cycle latency on sandy bridge, ivy bridge, broadwell, haswell , skylake. 3 whole micro-ops , 2 cycles of latency! 3 micro-ops throws off 4-1-1-1 cadence , 2 cycle latency makes worse original in best case since last 2 instructions in original might execute in parallel. now... cpu might breaking instruction micro-ops equivalent to: mov %rax, %tmp mov %rdx, %rax mov %tmp, %rdx where tmp anonymous internal register , suppose last 2 micro-ops run in parallel latency 2 cycles. given register renaming occurs on these micro-architectures, though, doesn't make sense me done way. why wouldn't register renamer

jquery - Responsive Navbar with Sub Navbar -

good day, forgive me nav vocabulary not best. if question confusing apologize. i'm working on navigation bar needs centered on page @ 768px , above. items in nav open (or perhaps toggle) subnav lives directly below. these nav should appear centered on page. i have been able work through responsive portion of nav bar, having main items align vertically , sub nav menu of each item roll out below, , gave them indent separation. working well. however, issue not responsive side, behavior @ width greater 768px. happens toggling menu's sub navigation pushes other main items down page below sub nav. here's code: $(document).ready(function () { //stick in fixed 100% height behind navbar don't wrap $('#slide-nav.navbar-inverse').after($('<div class="inverse" id="navbar-height-col"></div>')); $('#slide-nav.navbar-default').after($('<div id="navbar-height-col"></d
