In USCCANA/socnet: Web Scraping The Social Networks (SOCNET) Listserv
socnet
This R package is created to access the data available in the SOCNET website https://lists.ufl.edu/cgi-bin/wa?A0=SOCNET, which is hosted by The University of Florida in its Listserv website.
Installation
This package is currently under develoment and is only available by downloading the bleeding edge version. You can use devtools to get it:
devtools::install_github("USCCANA/socnet")
Example
Before starts, let's first load the package.
library(socnet)
Suppose that you want to look at the SOCNET archives, but you don't know from where to start. You can use the function socnet_list_archives to get a list of the archives that are available in the Listserv.
# Getting the URLs to the archives per month
archives <- socnet_list_archives(cached = TRUE)

#> 6 https://lists.ufl.edu/cgi-bin/wa?A1=ind1706&L=SOCNET June '17
Now that we have the list of archives, we can access one of them and list what are the subjects (emails) that show under that archive with the socnet_list_subjects function.
