Your code seem to be correct but getting tcp ip block. I also tried alternative way where code is correct and pagination is working and this type of pagination is two times faster than others but gives me sometimes strange result and sometimes getting ip block.

I am trying to get scrapy-selenium to navigate a url while picking some data along the way. Problem is that it seems to be filtering out too much data. I am confident there is not that much data in there. My problem is I do not know where to apply dont_filter=True. This is my code

I run your code on a clean, virtual environment and it is working as intended. It doesn't give me a KeyError either but has some problems on various xpath paths. I'm not quite sure what you mean by filtering out too much data but your code hands me this output:

You can fix the text errors (on product category, part number and description) by changing xpath variables like this:

Is there any way to find the URL that you are currently scraping?

Asked 2021-Sep-05 at 15:56

I'm currently trying to create a spider which crawls each result and takes some info from each of them. The only problem is that I don't know how to find the URL that I'm currently on (I need to retrieve that too).

Is there any way to do that?

I know how to do that using Selenium and Scrapy-Selenium, but I'm only using a simple CrawlSpider for this project.

Answer found from @pcalkins comment

You have two ways to fix this:

Fastest one: Paste your chromedriver.exe file in the same directory that your spider is.

Best one: in SETTINGS.PY put your diver path in SELENIUM_DRIVER_EXECUTABLE_PATH = YOUR PATH HERE

This is you won't use which('chromediver')
