As I am new to scraping, I would like to ask the question how I could scrape all tickets (stocks) and a couple of key stats, based on my wishes, from FinViz and save the output in a .csv or .xls file (stocks in each row and key stats in columns)?

  • SO is not a code-translation service. We're not here to do your projects for you. There are online coding-for-hire facilities for questions such as this. – IRTFM Mar 13 '18 at 20:06
  • @42- I don't ask for code-translation but how to scrape key stats. – Jonathan Mar 13 '18 at 20:11
  • Stack Overflow is for asking *specific* programming questions, not general "How do I...", there are plenty of answered questions on using R as a web scraping tool. Also see [How to make a great reproducible example in R](https://stackoverflow.com/questions/5963269/how-to-make-a-great-r-reproducible-example) – Mako212 Mar 13 '18 at 20:25
