Web scrapping Fbref for Pizza Chart #75

Closed Zakgas closed 2 years ago

Zakgas commented 2 years ago

When trying to web-scrape player stats from Fbref, I get the following error:

'Error in open.connection(x, "rb") : HTTP error 429'

I have installed the most stable version: v0.1.2: `devtools::install_github("abhiamishra/ggshakeR@0.1.2")

Issue has persisted since last week. Unless Fbref has denied web-scrapping of their website, I’m not sure why this has occurred.

Please re-run the template code in your ggshaker webpage/blog and see if this occurs at your end.

Thanks, Zakariah

Hi @Zakgas. An error with scraping data is not connected to our package as ggshakeR is a visualization library. I'd recommend you to create this same issue in the {worldfootballR} repository. They will be able to help you solve this. Thanks!
