zcbot-scrapy-redis 0.7.3.2110.2.2

Features

• Distributed crawling/scraping

  You can start multiple spider instances that share a single redis queue. Best suitable for broad multi-domain crawls.

• Distributed post-processing

  Scraped items gets pushed into a redis queued meaning that you can start as many as needed post-processing processes sharing the items queue.

• Scrapy plug-and-play components

  Scheduler + Duplication Filter, Item Pipeline, Base Spiders.

• In this forked version: added json supported data in Redis

  data contains url, `meta` and other optional parameters. meta is a nested json which contains sub-data. this function extract this data and send another FormRequest with url, meta and addition formdata.

  For example:

  { "url": "https://exaple.com", "meta": {"job-id":"123xsd", "start-date":"dd/mm/yy"}, "url_cookie_key":"fertxsas" }

  this data can be accessed in scrapy spider through response. like: request.url, request.meta, request.cookies
