The other way to do it is by downloading package file, .whl
paste it in C:\python\Scripts
folder. Then run pip install {package_filename}.whl
I found the windows binaries here for anyone who needs them:

QUESTION
Is it possible to scrape links by the date associated with them? I'm trying to implement a daily run spider that saves article information to a database, but I don't want to re-scrape articles that I have already scraped before-- i.e yesterday's articles. I ran across this SO post asking the same thing and the scrapy-deltafetch plugin was suggested.
However, this relies on checking new requests against previously saved request fingerprints stored in a database. I'm assuming that if the daily scraping went on for a while, there would be a need for significant memory overhead on the database to store request fingerprints that have already been scraped.
So given a list of articles on a site like cnn.com, I want to scrape all the articles that have been published today 6/14/17, but once the scraper hits later articles with a date listed as 6/13/17, I want to close the spider and stop scraping. Is this kind of approach possible with scrapy? Given a page of articles, will a CrawlSpider
start at the top of the page and scrape articles in order?
Just new to Scrapy
, so not sure what to try. Any help would be greatly appreciated, thank you!

Install scrapy-deltafetch
You can use scrapy-deltafetch like any standard Python library. You will need to make sure that you have a development environment consisting of a Python distribution including header files, a compiler, pip, and git installed. Make sure that your pip, setuptools, and wheel are up to date. When using pip it is generally recommended to install packages in a virtual environment to avoid changes to the system.
