Going through specified items in a page using scrapy










1















I'm running into some trouble trying to enter and analyze several items within a page.



I have a certain page which contains items in it, the code looks something like this



class Spider(CrawlSpider):

name = 'spider'
maxId = 20
allowed_domain = ['www.domain.com']
start_urls = ['http://www.startDomain.com']


In the start url, i have some items that all follow, in XPath, the following path (within the startDomain):



def start_requests(self):

for i in range(self.maxId):
yield Request('//*[@id="result_0"]/div/div/div/div[2]/div[1]/div[1]/a/h2'.format(i) , callback = self.parse_item)


I'd like to find a way to access each one of these links (the ones tied to resultnumber) and then scrape the contents of that certain item.

  • You'll need to be a bit more specific, which website are you trying to crawl? What are the items you are trying to get?
