I'm using Scrapy to scrape a website that loads content via AJAX, but I'm getting errors. What should I do?
You can handle AJAX errors in Scrapy by using the scrapy-selenium
middleware or by inspecting the network requests to find the correct API endpoints.
How do I set up scrapy-selenium?
First, install the package using pip: pip install scrapy-selenium
. Then, configure it in your Scrapy settings to use a Selenium WebDriver.
What if the AJAX content is loaded after a delay?
You can use WebDriverWait
in Selenium to wait for specific elements to load before scraping the content.
Can I see an example of the code?
Sure! Here's a simple example:
from scrapy_selenium import SeleniumRequest
class MySpider(scrapy.Spider):
name = 'my_spider'
def start_requests(self):
yield SeleniumRequest(url='http://example.com', callback=self.parse)
def parse(self, response):
# Your parsing logic here
This will allow you to scrape the AJAX-loaded content.
