使用R接受cookie以下载PDF文件
|
我在尝试下载PDF时遇到了问题.
例如,如果我在考古数据服务上有一个DOI的PDF文档,它将解析为this landing page library(httr)将处理解析DOI,我们可以使用库(XML)从登陆页面中提取pdf URL但我仍然坚持获取PDF本身. 如果我这样做： download.file("http://archaeologydataservice.ac.uk/archiveDS/archiveDownload?t=arch-1352-1/dissemination/pdf/Dyfed/GL44004.pdf",destfile = "tmp.pdf")
然后我收到一个与http://archaeologydataservice.ac.uk/myads/相同的HTML文件 在How to use R to download a zipped file from a SSL page that requires cookies尝试答案让我想到这个： library(httr) terms <- "http://archaeologydataservice.ac.uk/myads/copyrights" download <- "http://archaeologydataservice.ac.uk/archiveDS/archiveDownload" values <- list(agree = "yes",t = "arch-1352-1/dissemination/pdf/Dyfed/GL44004.pdf") # Accept the terms on the form,# generating the appropriate cookies POST(terms,body = values) GET(download,query = values) # Actually download the file (this will take a while) resp <- GET(download,query = values) # write the content of the download to a binary file writeBin(content(resp,"raw"),"c:/temp/thefile.zip") 但是在POST和GET函数之后,我只是获得了与download.file相同的cookie页面的HTML： > GET(download,query = values)

看看http://archaeologydataservice.ac.uk/about/Cookies,这个网站的cookie情况似乎很复杂.似乎这种cookie复杂性对于英国数据提供商来说并不罕见：automating the login to the uk data service website in R with RCurl or httr 如何使用R来浏览本网站上的cookie？ 解决方法
你听到了
rOpenSci的请求！
这些页面之间有很多javascript,这使得尝试通过httr rvest解密有些烦人.试试RSelenium.这适用于OS X 10.11.2,R 3.2.3& Firefox已加载. library(RSelenium)
# check if a sever is present,if not,get a server
checkForServer()
# get the server going
startServer()
dir.create("~/justcreateddir")
setwd("~/justcreateddir")
# we need PDFs to download instead of display in-browser
prefs <- makeFirefoxProfile(list(
`browser.download.folderList` = as.integer(2),`browser.download.dir` = getwd(),`pdfjs.disabled` = TRUE,`plugin.scan.plid.all` = FALSE,`plugin.scan.Acrobat` = "99.0",`browser.helperApps.neverAsk.saveToDisk` = 'application/pdf'
))
# get a browser going
dr <- remoteDriver$new(extraCapabilities=prefs)
dr$open()
# go to the page with the PDF
dr$navigate("http://archaeologydataservice.ac.uk/archives/view/greylit/details.cfm?id=17755")
# find the PDF link and "hit ENTER"
pdf_elem <- dr$findElement(using="css selector","a.dlb3")
pdf_elem$sendKeysToElement(list("uE007"))
# find the ACCEPT button and "hit ENTER"
# that will save the PDF to the default downloads directory
accept_elem <- dr$findElement(using="css selector","a[id$='agreeButton']")
accept_elem$sendKeysToElement(list("uE007"))
现在等待下载完成. R控制台在下载时不会很忙,因此在下载完成之前很容易意外关闭会话. # close the session dr$close() （编辑：李大同） 【声明】本站内容均来自网络，其相关言论仅代表作者个人观点，不代表本站立场。若无意侵犯到您的权利，请及时与联系站长删除相关内容! |
