I'm trying to scrape information from different sites about some products. Here is the structure of my program:
product_list = [iPad, iPhone, AirPods, ...]
def spider_tmall:
self.driver.find_element_by_id('searchKeywords').send_keys(inputlist[a])
# ...
def spider_jd:
self.driver.find_element_by_id('searchKeywords').send_keys(inputlist[a])
# ...
if __name__ == '__main__':
for a in range(len(inputlist)):
process = CrawlerProcess(settings={
"FEEDS": {
"itemtmall.csv": {"format": "csv",
'fields': ['product_name_tmall', 'product_price_tmall', 'product_discount_tmall'], },
"itemjd.csv": {"format": "csv",
'fields': ['product_name_jd', 'product_price_jd', 'product_discount_jd'], },
})
process.crawl(tmallSpider)
process.crawl(jdSpider)
process.start()
Basically, I want to run all spiders for all inputs in product_list
. Right now, my program only runs through all spiders once (in the case, it does the job for iPad) then there is ReactorNotRestartable
Error and the program terminates. Anybody knows how to fix it? Also, my overall goal is to run the spider multiple times, the input doesn't necessarily have to be a list. It can be a CSV file or something else. Any suggestion would be appreciated!
When you call process.start()
Scrapy's CrawlerProcess
will start a Twisted reactor that by default will stop when the crawlers are finished and it's not supposed to be restarted. One possible solution you can try is executing with stop_after_crawl
param set to False
:
process.start(stop_after_crawl=False)
This will prevent the reactor to stop, bypassing the restart problem. Although I can't say it won't lead to other problems further, so you should test it to be sure.
In the documentation there is also an example to running multiple spiders in the same process, one of which actively runs/stops the reactor, but it uses CrawlerRunner
instead of CrawlerProcess
.
Finally, if the solutions above don't help, I would suggest trying this:
if __name__ == '__main__':
process = CrawlerProcess(settings={
"FEEDS": {
"itemtmall.csv": {"format": "csv",
'fields': ['product_name_tmall', 'product_price_tmall', 'product_discount_tmall'], },
"itemjd.csv": {"format": "csv",
'fields': ['product_name_jd', 'product_price_jd', 'product_discount_jd'], },
})
for a in range(len(inputlist)):
process.crawl(tmallSpider)
process.crawl(jdSpider)
process.start()
The point here is that the process is started only once outside the loop, and the CrawlerProcess
instantiation is also outside the loop , otherwise every iteration would overwrite the previous instance of the CrawlerProcess
.
The process should be started after all of the spiders are set up like it can be seen here:
https://docs.scrapy.org/en/latest/topics/practices.html#running-multiple-spiders-in-the-same-process
In your case scenario, a little bit more of code would've helped but I suppose that setting up all the crawl processes for both of the spiders for all of the prodcts and then firing up the start()
function.
if __name__ == '__main__':
for a in range(len(inputlist)):
process = CrawlerProcess(settings={
"FEEDS": {
"itemtmall.csv": {"format": "csv",
'fields': ['product_name_tmall', 'product_price_tmall', 'product_discount_tmall'], },
"itemjd.csv": {"format": "csv",
'fields': ['product_name_jd', 'product_price_jd', 'product_discount_jd'], },
})
process.crawl(tmallSpider)
process.crawl(jdSpider)
process.start()
Using class that should be easy, there are few things to notice when using scrapy.Request
callback
is a method that handles response
dont_filter=True
allows you to request same pages multiple times
errback
is a method that handles responses with errors
you can yield Request
anytime and it will be added to the pool
import scrapy
class GSMArenaSpider(scrapy.Spider):
name = "smartmania"
main_url = ['https://smartmania.cz/zarizeni/telefony/'] # you can put as many starting links as you want
def start_requests(self):
for url in GSMArenaSpider.main_url:
self.my_logger.debug(f"Starting Scrapy @ {url}")
yield scrapy.Request(url=url, callback=self.parse_pages, errback=self.errback_httpbin) # You can bind any parsing method you need
yield scrapy.Request(url=url, callback=self.parse_ipads, errback=self.errback_httpbin) # You can bind any parsing method you need
yield scrapy.Request(url=url, callback=self.parse_iphones, errback=self.errback_httpbin) # You can bind any parsing method you need
def parse_pages(self, response):
# parsing results
#
for url in result:
self.my_logger.info(f"Found pages: {url}")
yield scrapy.Request(url=url, callback=self.parse_phone_links, errback=self.errback_httpbin,
dont_filter=True)
yield scrapy.Request(url=url, callback=self.parse_pages, errback=self.errback_httpbin, dont_filter=False) # Be careful when doing recursion requests and not using filter
def errback_httpbin(self, failure):
""" Handling Errors """
url = failure.request.url
callback = failure.request.callback
errback = failure.request.errback # should work same way as callback... ?
status = failure.value.response.status
self.my_logger.error(f"Fail status: {status} @: {url}")
