As a coder since the 80's I can pretty much guarantee you will never learn all the functions, libraries, plugins or imports or methodologies in a programming language. There are just too many and you use most so infrequently. Maybe old languages like basic and pascal might have a low ceiling on functions etc.. But that is what having another tab open on google is for, cos you will never be the first to face a given problem.
@@JohnWatsonRooney Hi John. Im trying to go thru this tutorial. But at around 15:30 mark, my code is exporting a blank file. I can't figure out why? Also the items scraped count (100) in your case < ---- this line is NOT available in my terminal output I am using the exact same code as you.
This is first time I came across John's channel. What an amazing beginners tutorial on Scrapy..., it is clear, straightforward with an actual example project!! What I really like is John's non-salesman's method of providing all the relevant information and professionally nav through the content. Thank you John. cheers mate and keep making quality content.
To anyone struggling with setting things up, for this to work in 2022 you'll need: - Python 3.8 - pip 22.2.2 - Scrapy==2.6.2 - requests==2.6.0 - pyOpenSSL==22.0.0 Than it'll work. Thanks for the awesome tutorial, really helpful.
Thank-you, thank-you, thank-you. I was reading a book on Web-Scraping but was totally lost as they short-circuited some of the vital steps in the process. This was a clear as day, and now I feel confident in pursuing the next level.
Again, excellent video! There are so many idiotic tutorials online where the authors seemingly do not understand neither terminology nor the process flow of what they are teaching. In this great example even the recursive scraping was made easy and elegant and John actually pointed out that this is recursive scraping which, in its nutshell, is a foundation of any real life spider. Thank you!
Man, what an amazing tutorial, honestly I watched some other videos about Scrapy but none of them could make their lessons clear I was having no progress at all, until I came across your video Thanks a lot and congratulations for your work
holy lol, this was exactly what I was looking for. Actually I was struggling with some paid online course using scrapy and I looked up your playlist but couldn't find any scraping via scrapy and now here it is.
I had already tried to learn scrapy and failed many times to follow the results from other videos, but I finally got similar resultsfollowing your steps, I felt I learned a lot, even with my mistakes, just had to use custom_settings and it runned perfectly.
I only finish the beginner guide for python and your tutorial is amazingly easy to understand. looking forward to more demonstration tutorial! Many thanks!
John, the content you produce is fantastic. I have learned a great deal from your videos. Thanks to this video in particular, I can now collect Major League Baseball scores quickly, easily, and accurately using a Python script that takes only a few seconds. Thank you!
This video on Scrapy is incredibly informative and helpful. It provided a clear understanding of the framework in a concise manner. Highly recommended!
Hey Buddy, I've been following your videos since last month. You are doing great. I really enjoy watching your videos and coding along with you. I was just thinking of learning scrapy boom and now the video is here. I haven't watched this but I'm saving for later it and leaving with a like and this comment. Just keep uploading few more videos and projects with scrapy. Thanks, Love from Nepal
Thanks, the best scrapy video by far!! PD: in your "if" statement you could just do: if nextpage: print("blablabla") Both work but I think this look cleaner.
Just getting started with scraping, using the "web scraper" plugin. It really is satisfying seeing the data in a usable way. Thank you for the basic tutorial, love your channel. Thanks to you, Scrapy will be another tool in the box, I might even try your BS tutorial?! You should do a video on "How it's done". Couldn't subscribe fast enough!
Hi John, I just made it. However there are even more products on the page, the spider was worked properly. Thanks a lot for this tutorial, you helped a lot.
As I understand now the site somehow disallow to scrawl it (Probably I have mistaken, but i get 403 instead of 200). So, What it is all about? How does that happen? How can I check if a site will allow me to scrawl or not? Could I bypass it? And if yes, Is this legal or not?
Excellent tutorial video!! Had issue setting up virtual environment earlier. This video cleared everything up for me. Very clear steps on Scrapy as well!
Good Work, John! I found them really useful. If I may suggest, I feel that numbering the videos is helpful. While I feel that your video naming is done well, it is not always clear to new students of the subject. Numbering gives me an idea of the flow of logic, tasks, and their difficulty that could/should be learned in what order. When someone like yourself has a good number of quality videos it is hard to know where to start. I know that free advice is worth every penny, but just food for thought. ;) Kudos!
Hi John please help, I using response.css('img::attr(data-src) ').extract() for finding url images of product which is 60 total in a page and in scrapy shell it is only finding my 35 in which only 4 are the product images and rest are other images I'm unable to get product images please help
Couldn’t get past the forbidden by robot message when trying to scrape. Even after changing the flag in my settings file to false. Why is no one else bringing this up?
trying to learn web scraping is there different steps if using pycharm? tried running in the terminal / python console no results reyed to run .py and got exit code 0? please help
i got a question please,I 'm working on another website and I can't get the text (product title) because the a tag is embedded under h2 tag. When I replace a with h2 and add ::text it returns nothing. can you please help?
I need to scrape products where the price is divided into 2 spans, 1 for the euro price and one for the cents. For example: 1 49 would show 1.49, how can i combine the 2 into one price source for the scraper?
Hi John, thanks for share your knowledge! I want to ask you if is it possible to use Scrapy Rule and pass a header to the request of the rule. I need to pass authorization credentials to connect with the API that I'm trying to scrap. Many thanks!
I get a problem while extracting the name, the a tag for the website has no class expect href but I can clearly see the text. So how do I extract the name?
Hallo John, Thanks for the amazing job. I have a question according to it. I have written the code in Jupyter notebook, it creates .ipynb instead .py. when I run scrapy crawl "name" it can not find the "name" od scrapy Spider that created, is it something to do with the file extension or is there other problems ? Thank you !
Hi! I think you will need to create your spider outside of the notebooks as it won’t work properly. You can export your code and create the spider again inside a scrapy project and it should be fine
please i need help , some of websites i want to scrape , i need to use xpath because the element i want to extract has no class name , how could i do this ?
What should i do if my Next button has no class? i can go to only one page after the first one, the xpath changes every time you change the page. Any idea? great tutorial
I struggle to understand all commands in Python, however John has opened the door to me with his videos on scraping, Thank you John
I’m glad I can help Graham

Great comment! Thank you.
@@valkiriaaquatica agreed. There needs to be respect for the speed at which you are querying the server. Too fast looks like a DDOS attempt.

Couldn’t get past the forbidden by robot message when trying to scrape. Even after changing the flag in my settings file to false. Why is no one else bringing this up?
Try adding a real user agent in, I believe there’s a setting in the scrapy settings file for one
Nice no-nonsense tutorial. Thanks ;)
Hi John! whatever is in the start_urls -- it'll automatically go through the parse function when the scraping starts right? Thanks!
trying to learn web scraping is there different steps if using pycharm? tried running in the terminal / python console no results reyed to run .py and got exit code 0? please help

@@JohnWatsonRooney no problem just trying to figure out this project and the sit is not layed out like any others. it really frustrating

Sorry one thing to ask, what to do if I just got a service 503 using Scrapy to fetch Amazon?
