[Autogenerated] all right.
Time for a demo.
Let's get started with scrapie.
And to do that, we need to create a scaffold, a new scrapie project.
And once that's done, we need to understand how the project is structured.
So let's go ahead and explore that with visual
studio code and the terminal open.
Let's insult scrapie.
We can Do this by running the pip installed scrapie command.
One scrapie has been installed.
Let's create a scaffold.
Our project,
by running the scrapie start project quotes command
quote will be the name of our project.
Once the project has been created, let's CD into it.
It is called quotes because we will be scraping quotes from this website.
This side is owned by the makers of the scrapie framework,
and it is intended to be scraped.
So the goal is to later scrape each of the quotes from that site,
which we will do in a later demo back to the built in terminal in V s code.
Let's run the scrapie Gen Spider Command to create the spider
that will later used to scrape the site.
The quote spider parameter indicates the name of the spider,
and this other parameter indicates the name of the URL that
the spider will crawl with the spider created Let's Go and
said the quotes Working folder.
Envious code, which we can do is follows.
Now let's inspect the project structure and what files have been created.
Scrapie dot c F.
D.
Is a project configuration file,
which contains information for module settings for the project,
along with its deployment information.
The directory, where the scrappy dot CFB file resides,
is known as the Project Root Directory.
That file contains the name of the Python module
that defines the project settings.
The Project Root Directory, maybe shared by multiple scrapie projects,
each with its own settings module.
Then we have the settings do Pai file,
which customize is the behavior off all scraping components,
including the core extensions, pipelines and spider themselves.
It provides a global name,
space of key value mapping that the code can do use
to pull configuration values.
From then, we have the pipelines Python I'll after a night,
um, has been scraped by spider.
It is sent to the item pipeline,
which takes it through Several components there are executed sequentially.
Each item pipeline component is a python class,
which has to implement a method called process item to process scraped items.
The middle,
where DOM Python file is used to hook into scrapie spiders processing mechanism,
where you can plug custom functionality to process the
responses that are sent to spiders for processing,
and to process the request and items that are generated from spiders.
The items dot Python I'll is used for items which are
containers that will be loaded with a scrape data.
They are like python dictionaries.
Even though python dictionaries can be used with scrapie,
items provide additional protection against populating
under Claire fields and preventing typos.
They are created by declaring a scrappy dot item class and
defining its attributes as scrapie dot field objects.
Now let's go into the Spider's folder and there.
Let's open this file.
This file will contain the code for the spider that
we will write in our next demo.
Spiders is a directory which contains all the
spiders crawlers as python classes.
Whenever one runs or crawls any spider.
Then scrapie looks into this directory and tries to find the
spider with its name provider by the user.
Spiders defined how a certain site or a group of sites will be scraped,
including how to perform the crawl and how to extract the data from their pages.
In other words,
spiders are the place where one defines the custom
behavior for crawling and parsing pages.
For a site, spiders have to define three major attributes.
Start You RL's, which tells which you are else are two be scraped,
then the Allowed Domains Property,
which defines only the name of the domains which need to be scraped.
And the parts method,
which is called for any responses that comes from the blog request.
These attributes are important because these
constitute the base of spider definitions.
So to see how this quickly works, let's run the spider.
Executing the following command Scrapie crawl quote spider
Notice how the spider has executed and logged all the steps
it has taken to execute later.
Once we add specific logic,
we'll see how we can fetch specific information using it
