Hi, I'm trying to use the XML package to read an RSS feed. To get started, I was trying to use this post as an example:
http://www.r-bloggers.com/how-to-build-a-dataset-in-r-using-an-rss-feed-or-web-page/ I can replicate the beginning section of the post, but when I try to use another RSS feed I have an issue. The RSS feed I would like to use is: > URL <- > "http://www.sec.gov/cgi-bin/browse-edgar?action=getcurrent&type=&company=&dateb=&owner=include&start=0&count=40&output=atom"; > library(XML) > doc <- xmlTreeParse(URL) > src <- xpathApply(xmlRoot(doc), "//entry") I get an empty list rather than a list of each of the "entry": > src list() attr(,"class") [1] "XMLNodeSet" I'm not sure how to fix this. Any suggestions? Do I need to provide a namespace, or is the RSS malformed?
