Web scraping using R with the rvest library to extract text from websites like IMDb, Yelp, and Wikipedia

Original Description

Web Scraping in R is super easy and useful, and in this video I scrape movies from IMDb into a data frame in R using the rvest library and then export the data frame as a csv, all in a few lines of code. This method works across many sites -- typically those that show static content -- such as Yelp, Amazon, Wikipedia, Google, and more.
