R programming

Hi,

Recently I've come across the R programming language and it's really interesting for SEO.
Does any one use it ?

I'm planning to make a bot that scraps the web using famous api and R, does anyone is currently working on a project like this or other ? I'm a programmer and I'm really interested in science of data but I don't know if in terms of time investment is worth ?

You could do web scraping almost in language... R used in data science mainly ... picking python instead will be better choice since python used in data science plus tons of other fields including web automation ...

As @thetrustedzone said, you can scrape the web with anything.

Go with your gut feeling. Look at different projects and try to understand the content as a layman.

Choose the language where you like the code most.


But note: there are programming languages that are more suitable for something than some Andre. FOR EXAMPLE : PHP is great for web pages, but c++ is very unsuitable for that.

Yeah Python was the first language I thought of for scraping.

Do you guys are you working or worked on such a project ? I'm really curious what those bots can bring for someone whos involved in IM.
I mean running a bot on a server that scraps the web all time and constantly looking for good niches / trends thus we can also use R to analyze those data and maybe predict ?
