  • Write Scrapy spiders with simple Python and do web crawls
  • Push your data into any database, search engine or analytics system
  • Configure your spider to download files, images and use proxies
  • Create efficient pipelines that shape data in precisely the form you want
  • Use Twisted Asynchronous API to process hundreds of items concurrently
  • Make your crawler super-fast by learning how to tune Scrapy's performance
  • Perform large scale distributed crawls with scrapyd and scrapinghub

About the Author

Dimitrios Kouzis-Loukas has over fifteen years experience as a topnotch software developer. He uses his acquired knowledge and expertise to teach a wide range of audiences how to write great software, as well.

He studied and mastered several disciplines, including mathematics, physics, and microelectronics. His thorough understanding of these subjects helped him raise his standards beyond the scope of "pragmatic solutions." He knows that true solutions should be as certain as the laws of physics, as robust as ECC memories, and as universal as mathematics.

Dimitrios now develops distributed, low-latency, highly-availability systems using the latest datacenter technologies. He is language agnostic, yet has a slight preference for Python, C++, and Java. A firm believer in open source software and hardware, he hopes that his contributions will benefit individual communities as well as all of humanity.
