Research Paper On Webscraping And R

 The website the data is collected from must allow webscraping. There are numerous websites that offer directions on how to webscrape. Have you visited any of these sources? How many mention legality? 

After scraping data from a site write a research paper to describe:
  • The data collected, how you chose this data and how legality was confirmed
  • What issues you may have ran into in the data collection
  • How you may use webscraping in a practical setting, such as research or for an employer
  • Discuss the legality of webscraping outside the scope of this data, what problems can webscraping cause?
The following documents should be submitted for full credit:
  • The research paper
  • The .r file with your webscraping code

Your research paper should be at least 3 pages (and at least 800 words), double-spaced, saved in MS Word format. All research papers in this course should be written in APA format (no abstract is necessary). Properly cite and reference any websites or documents you include to support the requirements of this assignment.
