List item
I am new to web scrapping and after a couple of Wikipedia pages I found this page where I wanted to extract the tables for all the portfolio managers. I am not able to use the things I found on the internet. I thought it would be easy since it's just a table but I am not able to extract even a single table after filling out the form. Can someone please tell me how I could get this done in R? I have added an image in this post but it seems to look like a link that says to enter image description here.
Lazy approach would be just using Copy as cURL in DevTools and heading to https://curlconverter.com/r/ to convert it to httr request.
library(rvest)
resp <- httr::POST("https://www.sebi.gov.in/sebiweb/other/OtherAction.do?doPmr=yes",
body = list(
pmrId="INP000004417@@INP000004417@@AEQUITAS INVESTMENT CONSULTANCY PRIVATE LIMITED",
year="2022",
month="8"))
tables <- resp %>%
read_html() %>%
html_elements("table") %>%
html_table()
