Description:
A quick yet reasonably thorough introduction to Scrapy, the high-level web crawling & scraping framework for Python. Includes a demo, cause I like living on the edge.
The "core concepts demo" is a hands-on introduction, starting from a simple example and progressively adding more features. It covers the following topics:
* Spiders (Spider, CrawlSpider, etc)
* Selectors (XPath, CSS, Regex, etc)
* Items & item loaders
* Input & output processors
* Pipelines
