To develop right mindset for fully utilizing async capabilities in Scrapy, probably this method should be the default one to be teached from the beginning, because when you make some coding/thinking habits later is much harder to change that state of the mind thinking differently.
Hi thank you for the video. In the Amazon scraper the range goes from 2 to int(total_pages)+1, shouldn't it go from current_page to int(total_pages)+1? thanks.
What a interesting video. I have some question 1. I'm just a beginner of Web Scraping, Do you show how we can scrape in cloud for free, I see some videos but they are all paid for 2. Can you make a video how to scrape by jupyter notebook
1. As a beginner, you can play around with www.zyte.com/scrapy-cloud/ However, I would like to challenge you to a different thought process. This thought process changed my earnings directly. Think about all the learning and freelancing work as business. If you are into any kind of business, you invest. Similarly, start thinking about learning as investing. Learning will bring you money. If you want to get good money, you need to invest. The moment you start to pay for things that can actually bring you money later, you will have access to far better resources. You will learn a lot and earn a lot. Good luck! 2. You can use tools like beautifulsoup4 selenium using Jupyter notebooks. You cannot use scrapy with it. Even though I experiment with lot of tools for web scraping, I always come back to Scrapy. It is simply wonderful!
Hi! I'm having problems scraping a page. I extract a different number of items each time I run the spider. When I use pagination it loses less items. Do you know what could be the reasons of this? Thank you in advance!
Hard to say without looking at the site. Some sites render static and dynamic content based on some triggers. Amz is one such example. Could be the same issue.
Hi, What if we dont know the page number, would it make sense to scan until faliure of next button presence in a page html and then do pagination on the number of pages available?
If you are visiting the page, then parse the data as well. Why to visit the same page two times. This approach is more suitable when you can determine the pages without actually visiting.
I think I figured out my issue how do you do this for crawl spiders? I'm new. Nvm if you get a chance could you do pagination for crawlers with websites using javascript.
I am not sure I get your question correctly. Anyways, the point is that the parse method is a callback method. So it is triggered when the response is available. If you can send 100 requests, the parse method will be called 100 times for each response. So it's better not to wait for a response but send more and more requests together.
@@codeRECODE my point is that scrapy doesnt wait for a Response to Start a new request, even When using pagination. When I use this pagination concept and log the requests, I can see that scrapy sends the requests before processing the previous ones.
why i unable to do this in this website ? error : url is not defined import scrapy class ThriftSpider(scrapy.Spider): name = 'thrift' allowed_domains = ['www.thriftbooks.com'] url = 'www.thriftbooks.com/browse/?b.search=comic#b.s=mostPopular-desc&b.p={}&b.pp=30&b.tile'
def start_requests(self): for i in range(1,15): yield scrapy.Request(url.format(i))
def parse(self, response): for s in response.xpath("//div[@class='AllEditionsItem-tile Recipe-default']"): title = s.xpath("//div[@class='AllEditionsItem-tileTitle']/a/text()").get()

This video is from my course on Scrapy.
I edited this for UA-cam. So watching this one video still makes sense. Hope its useful :-)
Sir what is the name of library which you developed, for converting headers to dict
Thank you sir, had a task at work today about pagination and I remembered to check this vid, code worked perfectly runtime reduced significantly.
Glad it helped!
Thanks for sharing this tip, its very useful for utilizing the real power of Scrapy async.

You are right. I will update my upcoming course to move this video from the advanced techniques section to the pagination section.:-)
Wow, I didn't know about that. I always thought that the next_page approach was best practice. Didn't realize there is a better one
Glad that it was useful :-)
Nice way to look at it! Thanks for the video
Thank you for making a video on this great topic !
My pleasure! It genuinely makes me happy if a video is helpful 🙂

Great idea, but, what about crawlspider?
Crawl Spiders have rules to extract links. That's already taken care of.
The Idea is to send requests in bulk rather than sending one by one.
I always use this approach when available... But didn't know it actually speed up the performance 😂 thanks for the explanation ❤️ love your content.
Thank you 🙂

very insightful sir
Hi,
While scraping I am facing 429 too many requests in scrapy
Can u pls advise on how to solve
If possible a video would be great on it
Looks like rate limiting. Use proxies.
Amazing, thank you good sir
which method is better this one or Linkextractor
Depends on site and your usecase. There is no general answer
Hello sir I have some doubts if the site has the growing list then how we avoid duplicates
Watch the video on infinite scroll

Interesting!
Very heelpfull thank you very much
Glad it helped
But even when parse method is using recursion, scrapy scheduler works asynchronously. Its still nice to Iterate the pages.

@@DeepDeepEast Cool! So you know what you are doing. That's the whole objective :-)
@@codeRECODE I don't know, but I just wanted to be Sure if am right.
Thanks
Welcome 🙂
That's good idea
Oh yes, it is a good. It took me quite a lot of thinking about how to explain as simple as possible. :-)
