Webscraping in R

!! This video was recorded a while ago, and some of the examples no longer work. For the first example (on wikipedia), please check the updated code in this RMarkdown document:
https://github.com/ccs-amsterdam/r-co...

And yeah I know, the video is pretty long! It's actually 2 parts (in hindsight). Up till 40:00 it's mainly introducing how this works, and after 40:00 it's walking through 2 demo's. If you're the type of person that first wants to see something in action, you can skip straight to 40:00, and then see whether you want to spend time on learning understand what's happening there (for which you can either use the video or RMarkdown document).
