You have a number of options here.
Either RCurl or RSelenium will work.
The key point is to generate the correct URL:
> library(XML)
> library(RCurl)
> search.term <- "china"
> quotes=FALSE
> start=0
> getGoogleURL <- paste('http://www.google.com',
+ '/search?hl=en&gl=kr&tbm=nws&authuser=0&q=',
+ search.term, "&start=",start,sep='')
> getGoogleURL
[1] "http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&gl=kr&tbm=nws&authuser=0&q=china&start=0"
>
at this point, you can dereference the URL and create the HTML parse tree and extract the node data. The start reference allows you to set the return page of the result. i.e. I want to return the forth page (counting from zero)
Working Code Example:
library(XML)
library(RCurl)
getGoogleURL <- function(search.term, start=0, quotes=FALSE) {
search.term <- gsub(' ', '%20', search.term)
if(quotes) search.term <- paste('%22', search.term, '%22', sep='')
getGoogleURL <- paste('http://www.google.com',
'/search?hl=en&gl=kr&tbm=nws&authuser=0&q=',
search.term, "&start=",start,sep='')
getGoogleURL <- URLencode(getGoogleURL)
}
getGoogleNews <- function(search.term="China",
start=0,
quotes=FALSE ){
google.url <- getGoogleURL(search.term=search.term,
start, quotes=quotes)
print(google.url)
doc <- getURL(google.url,
httpheader = c("User-Agent" = "R(3.0.3)"))
html <- htmlTreeParse(doc, useInternalNodes = TRUE,
error=function(...){}, asText = TRUE)
nodes <- getNodeSet(html, "//*/h3/a[@href]")
title <- sapply(nodes, function(x) x <- xmlValue(x))
url <- unname(sapply(nodes, function(x) x <- xmlAttrs(x)))
url <- gsub("\\/url\\?q=", "", url)
nodes <- getNodeSet(html, "//div[@class='slp']")
source <- sapply(nodes, function(x) x <- xmlValue(x))
nodes <- getNodeSet(html, "//div[@class='st']")
summary <- sapply(nodes, function(x) x <- xmlValue(x))
data.frame(title=title, source=source, url=url, summary=summary)
}
getGoogleNews("China")
getGoogleNews("China", 1)
getGoogleNews("China", 2)
Runtime:
> library(XML)
