The goal of partycoloR is to extract color information from Wikipedia
articles of political parties. Party colors are playing a crucial role
in visually identifying political parties. The function
wikipedia_party_color extracts the party color code (HEX/HTML color
codes / names) from webscraped English Wikipedia political party pages.
The input argument needs to be a list and the function generates a data
frame / tibble with all the extracted color codes / names.
You can install the released version of partycoloR from GitHub with:
devtools::install_github("lwarode/partycoloR")The input argument is a list of political party articles (URL) from English Wikipedia. The function returns a data frame / tibble with all party colors (as HEX color or HTML color code).
party_list <- list(
"https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Democratic_Party_(United_States)",
"https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Republican_Party_(United_States)"
)
party_color_df <- wikipedia_party_color(party_list)
