How to export scraped data as readable json using Scrapy

Asked 2022-Mar-30 at 17:21

According to SO I wrote a spider to save each domain to a separate json file. I have to use CrawlSpider to use Rules for visiting sublinks.

But the file contains json data that cannot be read by pandas. It should have a nice and readable new line separated json. But Scrapy expects the exported json to be byte like.

The desired output format is:

Answered 2022-Mar-30 at 17:21

You should use JsonLinesItemExporter instead of JsonItemExporter to get every item in separated line.

And don't bother bytes because documentation mentions that it has to open file in bytes mode.

And in pandas.read_json() you can use option lines=True to read JSONL (multiline-JSON):

ANSWER

Answered 2022-Feb-24 at 02:49

You have two issues with your code. First, you have two Rules in your crawl spider and you have included the deny restriction in the second rule which never gets checked because the first Rule follows all links and then calls the callback. Therefore the first rule is checked first and therefore it does not exclude the urls you don't want to crawl. Second issue is that in your second rule, you have included the literal string of what you want to avoid scraping but deny expects regular expressions.

Solution is to remove the first rule and slightly change the deny argument by escaping special regex characters in the url such as -. See below sample.

ANSWER

Answered 2022-Jan-22 at 16:39

Taking a stab at an answer here with no experience of the libraries.

It looks like Scrapy Crawlers themselves are single-threaded. To get multi-threaded behavior you need to configure your application differently or write code that makes it behave mulit-threaded. It sounds like you've already tried this so this is probably not news to you but make sure you have configured the CONCURRENT_REQUESTS and REACTOR_THREADPOOL_MAXSIZE.

https://docs.scrapy.org/en/latest/topics/settings.html?highlight=thread#reactor-threadpool-maxsize

I can't imagine there is much CPU work going on in the crawling process so i doubt it's a GIL issue.

Excluding GIL as an option there are two possibilities here:

Your crawler is not actually multi-threaded. This may be because you are missing some setup or configuration that would make it so. i.e. You may have set the env variables correctly but your crawler is written in a way that is processing requests for urls synchronously instead of submitting them to a queue.

To test this, create a global object and store a counter on it. Each time your crawler starts a request increment the counter. Each time your crawler finishes a request, decrement the counter. Then run a thread that prints the counter every second. If your counter value is always 1, then you are still running synchronously.

QUESTION

My spawning in script is not working and I am unsure as to why this is happening

Asked 2022-Jan-14 at 22:46

How my spawning in script should work is there is a large cube (250 by 250 by 250) and it has a box collider with the trigger enabled. Each mob has a value which is their health/10. My goal is to make it so that each area has a value of 100 and if it has less than that it will randomly spawn in a new mob until it goes back to 100 value. I am getting an error on the line that I am instantiating the mob on that it is giving a null reference exception error. I have assigned the enemy gameobjects in the instpector. I am purposfully not spawning in the spiders because I am doing something special for them. If there is any code you need just comment and I should be able to give it to you. Thank you

Edit: I also got an null reference exception error on start on the line where I am adding the Alk to the Enemies list

Edit: In this scene there are no other objects that would interfere with the spawning in because I disabled all of the other objects one by one and I got no errors. All of the values in the enemy base script that are related to this have values that have been assigned to them. I hope that helps narrow it down

Here is my code:

Answered 2022-Jan-14 at 22:46

I realized that when enemies were spawning in the area value wouldnt go back up becuase there wasnt anything adding to the value when they spawned in. I also optimized the code a bit more.
