POST 使用 R 和 httr 的表单

Question

我尝试使用 R 和包 httr 和 rvest 从本网站 https://www.finanssivalvonta.fi/en/capital-markets/issuers-and-investors/Managers-transactions/shortselling/ 的 csv link 自动导出数据。我尝试了以下代码但没有成功，我不明白我的错误。

当访问网站并使用 chrome 查看已完成的 POST 时，我看到以下 link https://www.finanssivalvonta.fi/api/shortselling/datatable/current/export。但是在 R 中使用相同的 link 时，我的状态代码为 500。我是否必须从 chrome POST 复制所有 header/body？如果是，我该怎么做？

library(httr)
library(rvest)
res <- POST("https://www.finanssivalvonta.fi/api/shortselling/datatable/current/export")
res$status_code
# 500

我也试过使用下面的代码直接导出table但是网页好像没有加载完成

url <- html_session("https://www.finanssivalvonta.fi/en/capital-markets/issuers-and-investors/Managers-transactions/shortselling/")

url %>% html_nodes("table") %>% .[[1]] %>% html_table(fill=T)

# Error in matrix(NA_character_, nrow = n, ncol = maxp) : 
#   invalid 'ncol' value (too large or NA)
# In addition: Warning messages:
#   1: In max(p) : no non-missing arguments to max; returning -Inf
# 2: In matrix(NA_character_, nrow = n, ncol = maxp) :
#   NAs introduced by coercion to integer range

非常感谢

library(rvest)
url<-"https://www.finanssivalvonta.fi/en/capital-markets/issuers-and-investors/Managers-transactions/shortselling/"

# Get the session of the URL
page<-html_session(url)

# RVEST POST the data to the export URL

writeBin(page$response$content , "data_table.csv")

我使用 CHROME 的高级工具来跟踪您单击 "EXPORT in the above URL" 时的网络流量。我使用相同的参数 POST 数据并将结果保存为 CSV。
