TL;DR

scrapy

Web-crawling framework. More information: https://scrapy.org.

  • Create a project:

scrapy startproject project_name

  • Create a spider (in project directory):

scrapy genspider spider_name website_domain

  • Edit spider (in project directory):

scrapy edit spider_name

  • Run spider (in project directory):

scrapy crawl spider_name

  • Fetch a webpage as Scrapy sees it and print the source to stdout:

scrapy fetch url

  • Open a webpage in the default browser as Scrapy sees it (disable JavaScript for extra fidelity):

scrapy view url

  • Open Scrapy shell for URL, which allows interaction with the page source in a Python shell (or IPython if available):

scrapy shell url
