Honestly, I want to say you are the best. You explained it in a very simple way for those who have no in-depth knowledge in scripting. Thanks very much for this

This is amazing. As a newbie to R videos like these motivate me to learn more.

Why using xpath instead of css selector for classes? seems a bit tidius?

[Smile-bqmq]

Thank you so much! You just saved my butt for a class project! And excellent job explaining everything! As for further analysis, it'd be cool to see a video on extracting common words in reviews. Or extract user sentiment from comments on a social media site.

can be interested to start a tf-idf using the ratings as documents, and get the most meaningful words per rating

This is amazing.I have a Q, why you didnt write all cods for i==0?

Great video! Im having issues though, I am using a different link and have a different CSS element but same format. When I run the code I get some review dates but I also get other info like the city of the restaurant, and a photo count (i.e., [8])

Im kind of stumped as to why I am getting some other random info.

Thank you -- this is super helpful. By chance, do you have the code posted anywhere?

[KianaAshoftehfard]

Thank you for your excellent video 👌👌

What we do if click on page numbers don't change the address?

Great tutorial! Everything went well but Yelp suddenly banned my IP address. Any advice on how to remedy that?

Also, for the ratings, the number of star ratings was more than the text and dates. So I couldn't really consolidate everything in the df framework. :(
