I have an issue. I am trying to scrap the two tables from a non-html website.
This is the website:
https://www.datadictionary.nhs.uk/web_site_content/supporting_information/main_specialty_and_treatment_function_codes_table.asp
Yet, I am following something I should not but do not find any answer. This is what I have tried:
library(tidyverse)
library(rvest)
library(XML)
library(httr)
url <- "https://www.datadictionary.nhs.uk/web_site_content/supporting_information/main_specialty_and_treatment_function_codes_table.asp"
poptable <- readHTMLTable(url, which = 1)
And get this error:
Error in (function (classes, fdef, mtable) : unable to find an
inherited method for function ‘readHTMLTable’ for signature ‘"NULL"’
In addition: Warning message: XML content does not seem to be XML:
'https://www.datadictionary.nhs.uk/web_site_content/supporting_information/main_specialty_and_treatment_function_codes_table.asp'
I thought regardless of the asp website type, I still can use the function readHTMLTable. Is there any alternative to this. I haven't found any yet and struggled for hours to get something out.

Actually, that's pretty straightfoward (based on @lukeA's answer):
library(rvest)
url <- "https://www.datadictionary.nhs.uk/web_site_content/supporting_information/main_specialty_and_treatment_function_codes_table.asp"
page <- read_html(url)
nodes <- html_nodes(page, "table") # you can use Selectorgadget to identify the node
table <- html_table(nodes[[1]]) # each element of the nodes list is one table that can be extracted
head(table)

I guest that all websites are html-pages with various elements. The tricky part is to identify the "names" those elements that you are interested in. That's what you can use the Selectorgadget for. With Selectorgadget I figured out that the relevant tables are "table" nodes and that's what I put into thehtml_nodescommand. If you are not interested in tables, you might usehtml_textinstead ofhtml_tablein the next step.
