In hrbrmstr/decapitated: Headless 'Chrome' Orchestration

Description Usage Arguments Working around headless Chrome & OS security restrictions Note Examples

Read a URL via headless Chrome and return the raw or rendered <body> innerHTML DOM elements

1 2	chrome_read_html(url, render = TRUE, prime = TRUE, work_dir = NULL, chrome_bin = Sys.getenv("HEADLESS_CHROME"))

`url`	URL to read from
`render`	if `TRUE` then return an `xml_document`, else the raw HTML (invisibly)
`prime`	if `TRUE` preliminary URL retrieval requests will be sent to "prime" the headless Chrome cache. This seems to be necessary primarily on recent versions of macOS. If numeric, that number of "prime" requests will be sent ahead of the capture request. If `FALSE` no priming requests will be sent.
`work_dir`	See special Section.
`chrome_bin`	the path to Chrome (auto-set from `HEADLESS_CHROME` environment variable)

Security restrictions on various operating systems and OS configurations can cause headless Chrome execution to fail. As a result, headless Chrome operations should use a special directory for decapitated package operations. You can pass this in as work_dir. If work_dir is NULL a .rdecapdata directory will be created in your home directory and used for the data, crash dumps and utility directories for Chrome operations.

tempdir() does not always meet these requirements (after testing on various macOS 10.13 systems) as Chrome does some interesting attribute setting for some of its file operations.
If you pass in a work_dir, it must be one that does not violate OS security restrictions or headless Chrome will not function.

This only grabs the <body> innerHTML contents
