Scrapy is a fast high-level web crawling and web scraping framework.

ref:
https://doc.scrapy.org/en/latest/

Install

# on Ubuntu
$ sudo apt-get install libxml2-dev libxslt1-dev libffi-dev

# on Mac
$ brew install libffi

$ pip install scrapy service_identity

Usage

# interative shell
# http://doc.scrapy.org/en/latest/intro/tutorial.html#trying-selectors-in-the-shell
$ scrapy shell "http://www.wendyslookbook.com/2013/09/the-frame-a-digital-glossy/"
# or
$ scrapy shell --spider=seemodel
>>> view(response)
>>> fetch(req_or_url)

# create a project
$ scrapy startproject blackwindow

# create a spider
$ scrapy genspider fancy www.fancy.com

# run spider
$ scrapy crawl fancy
$ scrapy crawl pinterest -L ERROR

Spider
去爬資料的程式，用 parse() 定義你要 parse 哪些資料

Item
定義抓回來的資料欄位，可以想成是 django 的 model

Pipeline
對抓回來的資料進行加工，可能是清除 html 或是檢查重複之類的

scrapy 底層是用 lxml 和 Twisted

Tips

Debugging

from scrapy.shell import inspect_response
inspect_response(response, self)

These 2 lines will invoke the interative shell.

相對路徑 XPath

divs = response.xpath('//div')
for p in divs.xpath('.//p'):  # extracts all <p> inside
    print p.extract()

Access Django Model in Scrapy

def setup_django_env(django_settings_dir):
    import imp
    import sys

    from django.core.management import setup_environ

    django_project_path = os.path.abspath(os.path.join(django_settings_dir, '..'))
    sys.path.append(django_project_path)
    sys.path.append(django_settings_dir)

    f, filename, desc = imp.find_module('settings', [django_settings_dir, ])
    project = imp.load_module('settings', f, filename, desc)

    setup_environ(project)

# where Django settings.py placed
DJANGO_SETTINGS_DIR = '/all_projects/heelsfetishism/heelsfetishism'
setup_django_env(DJANGO_SETTINGS_DIR)

then you can import Django's modules in scrapy, like this:

from django.contrib.auth.models import User

from app.models import SomeModel

State

http://doc.scrapy.org/en/latest/topics/jobs.html#keeping-persistent-state-between-batches

def parse_item(self, response):
    # parse item here
    self.state['items_count'] = self.state.get('items_count', 0) + 1

Close Spider

from scrapy.exceptions import CloseSpider

# 只能在 spider 裡頭呼叫，不能用在 pipeline 裡
raise CloseSpider('Stop')

Login in Spider

            return

        self.log("Successfully logged in")

        return [Request(url=url, dont_filter=True) for url in self.start_urls]

    def parse_item(self, response):
        item = HeelsItem()
        item['comment'] = response.xpath('//*[@id="thread_subject"]/text()').extract()
        item['image_urls'] = response.xpath('//ignore_js_op//img/@zoomfile').extract()
        item['source_url'] = response.url

        return item
