Scraping library to retrieve data from useful pages, such as Amazon wishlists

API
---

The API to use the library, scrape data and manage spiders is the following:

- ``scrape(SPIDER_NAME, URL)``: scrapes the given ``URL`` using the spider referenced on ``SPIDER_NAME``.
- ``spiders()``: list all spiders found by the library.


Custom Spiders
--------------

Using custom spiders is possible, as long as they:

- They must be implemented as a class, and inherit from ``BaseSpider``.

- The spider file need to be either on ``scraper_factory/spiders``, or in a custom location, as long as the environment variable ``$SPIDER_PATH`` is set to the directory where the spider is located.

Usage example
-------------

.. code-block:: python

    >>> import scraper_factory as SF
    >>> SF.scrape('amazon-wishlist', 'https://www.amazon.com/hz/wishlist/ls/24XY9873RPAYN')
