如何使用 R 从网页中提取所有可见文本

Question

我需要此页面的可见文本：https://www.americanexpress.com/ca/en/credit-cards/simply-cash-preferred/

起初，我认为 RSelenium 会起作用。但我无法弄清楚如何获得可见文本的 all。

library("RSelenium")
library("rvest")

remDr <- remoteDriver(port = 4445L)
remDr$open()

remDr$navigate("https://www.americanexpress.com/ca/en/credit-cards/simply-cash-preferred")
remDr$getPageSource(header = TRUE)[[1]] %>% read_html()
# or
remDr$findElement(using='css selector',"body")$getElementText()

接下来，我了解了 getURLContent

library("RCurl")
library("XML")

url <- "https://www.americanexpress.com/ca/en/credit-cards/simply-cash-preferred"
x <- getURLContent(url)
x

但在尝试时收到此消息：

[1] "Found. Redirecting to /ca/en/credit-cards/simply-cash-preferred/"
attr(,"Content-Type")
                  charset 
"text/plain"      "utf-8"

我不确定如何使用 getURLContent 获取此特定页面的内容。

由于该页面有很多 javascript，所以结合使用 Rselenium、rvest 和 htm2txt 会很有帮助。 htm2txt::htm2txt() 函数将处理（即解析或删除）大量 javascript 格式片段，使用普通 rvest 很难排除这些片段。

library(RSelenium)
library(rvest)
library(htm2txt)
library(tidyverse)

rD <- rsDriver(browser="firefox", port=4545L, verbose=TRUE)
remDr <- rD[["client"]]

remDr$navigate("https://www.americanexpress.com/ca/en/credit-cards/simply-cash-preferred")

captured_text <- 
  remDr$getPageSource()[[1]] %>% 
  read_html(encoding = "UTF-8") %>% 
  html_node(xpath = "//body") %>% 
  as.character() %>% 
  htm2txt::htm2txt()

captured_text
