Automatic Web Scraping of Spanish Public TV Films

This is a repository to automate the collection of data on films shown in Spanish public TV, named TDT. We use the R package for web scraping rvest and GitHub Actions.

The data comes from the following website.

It is updated every day and provides the film title (both the original and the spanish version), the film genre, a brief film synopsis, the TV channel and the day and time.

In the workflows folder it is the .yaml file that calls GitHub to autoscrape the data, using a R Script.
