Scrapy How to scrape items from multiple pages?

I am trying to scrape data of # pages. I have already done a scraper which can scrape data from a single # page. But it suddenly finished the work after scraping of the first page
The whole file with parse function and scrapd function - Scraper.py
# -*- coding: utf-8 -*-
import scrapy
import csv
import os
from scrapy.selector import Selector
from scrapy import Request
class Proddduct(scrapy.Item):
price = scrapy.Field()
description = scrapy.Field()
link = scrapy.Field()
content = scrapy.Field()
class LapadaScraperSpider(scrapy.Spider):
name = 'lapada_scraper2'
allowed_domains = ['http://www.lapada.org']
start_urls = ['https://lapada.org/art-and-antiques/?search=antique']
def parse(self, response):
next_page_url = response.xpath("//ul/li[#class='next']//a/#href").get()
for item in self.scrape(response):
yield item
if next_page_url:
print("Found url: {}".format(next_page_url))
yield scrapy.Request(url=next_page_url, callback=self.parse)
def scrape(self, response):
parser = scrapy.Selector(response)
products = parser.xpath("//div[#class='content']")
for product in products:
item = Proddduct()
XPATH_PRODUCT_DESCRIPTION = ".//strong/text()"
XPATH_PRODUCT_PRICE = ".//div[#class='price']/text()"
XPATH_PRODUCT_LINK = ".//a/#href"
raw_product_description = product.xpath(XPATH_PRODUCT_DESCRIPTION).extract()
raw_product_price = product.xpath(XPATH_PRODUCT_PRICE).extract()
raw_product_link = product.xpath(XPATH_PRODUCT_LINK).extract_first()
item['description'] = raw_product_description
item['price'] = raw_product_price
item['link'] = raw_product_link
yield item
def get_information(self, response):
item = response.meta['item']
item['phonenumber'] = "12345"
yield item
How can I scrape all items in all pages?
Thanks

Change allowed_domains = ['http://www.lapada.org'] to allowed_domains = ['lapada.org']

How to use Scrapy for URL crawling

I want to crawl the link https://www.aparat.com/.
I crawl it correctly and get all the video links with header tag;like this :
import scrapy
class BlogSpider(scrapy.Spider):
name = 'aparatspider'
start_urls = ['https://www.aparat.com/']
def parse(self, response):
print '=' * 80 , 'latest-trend :'
ul5 = response.css('.block-grid.xsmall-block-grid-2.small-block-grid-3.medium-block-grid-4.large-block-grid-5.is-not-center')
ul5 = ul5.css('ul').css('li')
latesttrend = []
for li5 in ul5:
latesttrend.append(li5.xpath('div/div[1]/a').xpath('#onmousedown').extract_first().encode('utf8'))
print(latesttrend)
now my question is this:
How can I get all the links from the داغ ترین ها tag, more than 1000? Currently, I get only 60, more or less.

I did this with the following code :
import scrapy
from scrapy.linkextractors import LinkExtractor
from scrapy.spiders import CrawlSpider, Rule
from scrapy.http import Request
class aparat_hotnewsItem(scrapy.Item):
videourl = scrapy.Field()
class aparat_hotnewsSpider(CrawlSpider):
name = 'aparat_hotnews'
allowed_domains = ['www.aparat.com']
start_urls = ['http://www.aparat.com/']
# Xpath for selecting links to follow
xp = 'your xpath'
rules = (
Rule(LinkExtractor(restrict_xpaths=xp), callback='parse_item', follow=True),
)
def parse_item(self, response):
item = aparat_hotnewsItem()
item['videourl'] = response.xpath('your xpath').extract()
yield item

Getting data from multiple links using scrapy

I am new to Scrapy and Python. I was trying to retrive the data from https://in.bookmyshow.com/movies since i need the information of all the movies I was trying to extract the data .But there is something wrong with my code, I would like to know where I have gone wrong .
rules = ( Rule(SgmlLinkExtractor(allow=('https://in\.bookmyshow\.com/movies/.*', )), callback="parse_items", follow= True),)
def parse_items(self, response):
for sel in response.xpath('//div[contains(#class, "movie-card")]'):
item = Ex1Item()
item['Moviename'] = sel.xpath('.//a[#class="__movie-name"]/text()').extract()
item['Language'] = sel.xpath('/html/body/div[1]/div[2]/div/div[1]/div[2]/section[1]/div/div[2]/div[1]/div[1]/div/div/div[2]/div[2]/ul/li/text()').extract()
item['Info'] = sel.xpath('.//div[#class="__rounded-box __genre"]/text()').extract()
item['Synopsis'] = sel.xpath('/html/body/div[1]/div[2]/div[1]/div[2]/div[4]/div[2]/div[2]/blockquote/text()').extract()
item['Release'] = sel.xpath('.//span[#class="__release-date"]/text()').extract()
yield item

You code seems to be fine. Perhaps the problem is outside of the part you posted here.
This worked for me:
import scrapy
from scrapy.spiders import CrawlSpider, Rule
from scrapy.contrib.linkextractors.sgml import SgmlLinkExtractor
class BookmyshowSpider(CrawlSpider):
name = "bookmyshow"
start_urls = ['https://in.bookmyshow.com/movies']
allowed_domains = ['bookmyshow.com']
rules = (Rule(SgmlLinkExtractor(allow=('https://in\.bookmyshow\.com/movies/.*', )), callback="parse_items", follow= True),)
def parse_items(self, response):
for sel in response.xpath('//div[contains(#class, "movie-card")]'):
item = Ex1Item()
item['Moviename'] = sel.xpath('.//a[#class="__movie-name"]/text()').extract()
item['Language'] = sel.xpath('/html/body/div[1]/div[2]/div/div[1]/div[2]/section[1]/div/div[2]/div[1]/div[1]/div/div/div[2]/div[2]/ul/li/text()').extract()
item['Info'] = sel.xpath('.//div[#class="__rounded-box __genre"]/text()').extract()
item['Synopsis'] = sel.xpath('/html/body/div[1]/div[2]/div[1]/div[2]/div[4]/div[2]/div[2]/blockquote/text()').extract()
item['Release'] = sel.xpath('.//span[#class="__release-date"]/text()').extract()
yield item
EDIT: Version using the standard spider class scrapy.Spider()
import scrapy
class BookmyshowSpider(scrapy.Spider):
name = "bookmyshow"
start_urls = ['https://in.bookmyshow.com/movies']
allowed_domains = ['bookmyshow.com']
def parse(self, response):
links = response.xpath('//a/#href').re('movies/[^\/]+\/.*$')
for url in set(links):
url = response.urljoin(url)
yield scrapy.Request(url, callback=self.parse_movie)
def parse_movie(self, response):
for sel in response.xpath('//div[contains(#class, "movie-card")]'):
item = {}
item['Moviename'] = sel.xpath('.//a[#class="__movie-name"]/text()').extract()
item['Language'] = sel.xpath('/html/body/div[1]/div[2]/div/div[1]/div[2]/section[1]/div/div[2]/div[1]/div[1]/div/div/div[2]/div[2]/ul/li/text()').extract()
item['Info'] = sel.xpath('.//div[#class="__rounded-box __genre"]/text()').extract()
item['Synopsis'] = sel.xpath('/html/body/div[1]/div[2]/div[1]/div[2]/div[4]/div[2]/div[2]/blockquote/text()').extract()
item['Release'] = sel.xpath('.//span[#class="__release-date"]/text()').extract()
yield item
parse() parses all links to movie pages from the start page. parse_movie() is used as a callback for all Requests to the specific movie pages. With this version you certainly have more control over the spider behavior.

How to use scrapy to scrape google play reviews of applications?

I wrote this spider to scrape reviews of apps from google play. I am partially successful in this. I am able to extract the name, date, and review only.
My questions:
How to get all the reviews as I am only getting only 41.
How to get the rating from the <div>?
import scrapy
from scrapy.contrib.spiders import CrawlSpider, Rule
from scrapy.selector import Selector
from scrapy.contrib.linkextractors.sgml import SgmlLinkExtractor
from urlparse import urljoin
class CompItem(scrapy.Item):
rating = scrapy.Field()
data = scrapy.Field()
name = scrapy.Field()
date = scrapy.Field()
class criticspider(CrawlSpider):
name = "gaana"
allowed_domains = ["play.google.com"]
start_urls = ["https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.gaana&hl=en"]
# rules = (
# Rule(
# SgmlLinkExtractor(allow=('search=jabong&page=1/+',)),
# callback="parse_start_url",
# follow=True),
# )
def parse(self, response):
sites = response.xpath('//div[#class="single-review"]')
items = []
for site in sites:
item = CompItem()
item['data'] = site.xpath('.//div[#class="review-body"]/text()').extract()
item['name'] = site.xpath('.//div/div/span[#class="author-name"]/a/text()').extract()[0]
item['date'] = site.xpath('.//span[#class="review-date"]/text()').extract()[0]
item['rating'] = site.xpath('div[#class="review-info-star-rating"]/aria-label/text()').extract()
items.append(item)
return items

you have
item['rating'] = site.xpath('div[#class="review-info-star-rating"]/aria-label/text()').extract()
should it not be something like:
item['rating'] = site.xpath('.//div[#class="review-info-star-rating"]/aria-label/text()').extract()
?? dunno if it will work, but try :)

You can try this one out:
item['rating'] = site.xpath('.//div[#class="tiny-star star-rating-non-editable-container"]/#aria-label').extract()

scrapy: A tiny "spider" in a spider?

So when i try to scrape product review info from epinions.com, if the main review text is too long, it has a "read more" link to another page.
I took an example from "http://www.epinions.com/reviews/samsung-galaxy-note-16-gb-cell-phone/pa_~1" you'll see what i mean if you look at the first review.
I am wondering: is it possible to have a tiny spider in each iteration of the for loop to grab the url and scrape the review out of the new link? I have the following code, but it doesn't work for the tiny "spider".
Here is my code:
from scrapy.spider import BaseSpider
from scrapy.selector import HtmlXPathSelector
from epinions_test.items import EpinionsTestItem
from scrapy.http import Response, HtmlResponse
class MySpider(BaseSpider):
name = "epinions"
allow_domains = ["epinions.com"]
start_urls = ['http://www.epinions.com/reviews/samsung-galaxy-note-16-gb-cell-phone/pa_~1']
def parse(self, response):
hxs = HtmlXPathSelector(response)
sites = hxs.select('//div[#class="review_info"]')
items = []
for sites in sites:
item = EpinionsTestItem()
item["title"] = sites.select('h2/a/text()').extract()
item["star"] = sites.select('span/a/span/#title').extract()
item["date"] = sites.select('span/span/span/#title').extract()
item["review"] = sites.select('p/span/text()').extract()
# Everything works fine and i do have those four columns beautifully printed out, until....
url2 = sites.select('p/span/a/#href').extract()
url = str("http://www.epinions.com%s" %str(url2)[3:-2])
# This url is a string. when i print it out, it's like "http://www.epinions.com/review/samsung-galaxy-note-16-gb-cell-phone/content_624031731332", which looks legit.
response2 = HtmlResponse(url)
# I tried in a scrapy shell, it shows that this is a htmlresponse...
hxs2 = HtmlXPathSelector(response2)
fullReview = hxs2.select('//div[#class = "user_review_full"]')
item["url"] = fullReview.select('p/text()').extract()
# The three lines above works in an independent spider, where start_url is changed to the url just generated and everything.
# However, i got nothing from item["url"] in this code.
items.append(item)
return items
Why item["url"] returns nothing?
Thanks!

You should instantiate a new Request in the callback and pass your item in the meta dict:
from scrapy.http import Request
from scrapy.item import Item, Field
from scrapy.spider import BaseSpider
from scrapy.selector import HtmlXPathSelector
class EpinionsTestItem(Item):
title = Field()
star = Field()
date = Field()
review = Field()
class MySpider(BaseSpider):
name = "epinions"
allow_domains = ["epinions.com"]
start_urls = ['http://www.epinions.com/reviews/samsung-galaxy-note-16-gb-cell-phone/pa_~1']
def parse(self, response):
hxs = HtmlXPathSelector(response)
sites = hxs.select('//div[#class="review_info"]')
for sites in sites:
item = EpinionsTestItem()
item["title"] = sites.select('h2/a/text()').extract()
item["star"] = sites.select('span/a/span/#title').extract()
item["date"] = sites.select('span/span/span/#title').extract()
url = sites.select('p/span/a/#href').extract()
url = str("http://www.epinions.com%s" % str(url)[3:-2])
yield Request(url=url, callback=self.parse_url2, meta={'item': item})
def parse_url2(self, response):
hxs = HtmlXPathSelector(response)
item = response.meta['item']
fullReview = hxs.select('//div[#class = "user_review_full"]')
item["review"] = fullReview.select('p/text()').extract()
yield item
Also see documentation.
Hope that helps.
