Custom arguments for throttled functions
Execute the following code in the console on the right:
throttled_read_html <- slowly(~ read_html("https://wikipedia.org"),
rate = rate_delay(0.5))
for(i in c(1, 2, 3)){
throttled_read_html("https://google.com") %>%
html_element("title") %>%
html_text() %>%
print()
}
Why does it print "Wikipedia"
three times rather than "Google"
?
