SHORT DESCRIPTION

Scrapy is a fast high-level screen scraping and web crawling framework, used to crawl websites and extract structured data from their pages. It can be used for a wide range of purposes, from data mining to monitoring and automated testing. Features

  • Scrapy was designed with simplicity in mind, by providing the features you need without getting in your way
  • Just write the rules to extract the data from web pages and let Scrapy crawl the entire web site for you
  • Scrapy is used in production crawlers to completely scrape more than 500 retailer sites daily, all in one server
  • Scrapy was designed with extensibility in mind and so it provides several mechanisms to plug new code without having to touch the framework core
  • Scrapy is completely written in Python and runs on Linux, Windows, Mac and BSD
  • Scrapy comes with lots of functionality built in. Check this section of the documentation for a list of them.
  • Scrapy is extensively documented and has an comprehensive test suite with very good code coverage
