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.
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.
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.
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!
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.
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.
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
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!
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
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!
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.
This video on Scrapy is incredibly informative and helpful. It provided a clear understanding of the framework in a concise manner. Highly recommended!
Excellent tutorial video!! Had issue setting up virtual environment earlier. This video cleared everything up for me. Very clear steps on Scrapy as well!
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?
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!
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?
This was my first ever project on webscraping with Scrapy. Thank you so much. Can you please share the resources you used to learn scrapy, beautifulsoup and selenium too? Again,thank you
Hey! thanks for watching. I learned Scrapy by just trying and doing, reading docs, googling errors. In itself it can be simple or complex, but it does require a higher level of Python skill. But its worth it
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
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
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?
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

@@Serpent-DCLXV Maybe the webpage you are trying to request has banned your IP, try using proxies to change your IP address
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.
yours isn't the first scrapy video I watched, but definitely the best one out there. Thank you very much
Thanks!
This video is quite "old" but still perfectly relevant. I discovered you channel recently and love it. Thank you.

Hello from Hong Kong, it is a good video, thank you.
Sorry one thing to ask, what to do if I just got a service 503 using Scrapy to fetch Amazon?
Does it mean I got blocked using Scrapy? Normal service using Google Chrome to browse.
Unforuantely amazon have changed the way they work and it now blocks more, i am working on a new amazon scraping video
Fantastic stuff. Your way of going through each step is awesome. Thank you for sharing this.
Great tutorial and example products 🙂

hi i am getting a 403 error , what do i do ?
Exactly what I was looking for, great video
Thank you so much. Very informative with just the essential stuff to use
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
really love your content , im a newbie here your vid is my inspiration. thank you for good content like this .
Hi John, I am following same steps as yours but program returns me empty array when I get items by css property
Very good video John! Thank you very much
Hi at 3:10 I'm getting RuntimeError: Spider 'default' not opened when crawling ? I've searched the internet but couldn't find anything, help!
At 3:05 , I am getting a response of Crawled (403) instead of Crawled (200). My URL is correct. What can I do to fix this error???
This was my first ever project on webscraping with Scrapy. Thank you so much.
Can you please share the resources you used to learn scrapy, beautifulsoup and selenium too?
Again,thank you
Hey! thanks for watching. I learned Scrapy by just trying and doing, reading docs, googling errors. In itself it can be simple or complex, but it does require a higher level of Python skill. But its worth it
Thank you so much the tutorial is very clear
Thank you for the world class content.
Very clear ! Thank you a lot 😊. This is exactly what I was looking for ✅

Thanks!
thank you for your course, it helps a lot！
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
amazing man!! thank you so much
