I have this folder structure:
app.py # flask app app/ datafoo/ scrapy.cfg crawler.py blogs/ pipelines.py settings.py middlewares.py items.py spiders/ allmusic_feed.py allmusic_data/ delicate_tracks.jl
scrapy.cfg:
[settings] default = blogs.settings
allmusic_feed.py:
class AllMusicDelicateTracks(scrapy.Spider): # one amongst many spiders name = "allmusic_delicate_tracks" allowed_domains = ["allmusic.com"] start_urls = ["http://web.archive.org/web/20160813101056/http://www.allmusic.com/mood/delicate-xa0000000972/songs", ] def parse(self, response): for sel in response.xpath('//tr'): item = AllMusicItem() item['artist'] = sel.xpath('.//td[@class="performer"]/a/text()').extract_first() item['track'] = sel.xpath('.//td[@class="title"]/a/text()').extract_first() yield item
crawler.py:
from twisted.internet import reactor from scrapy.crawler import CrawlerProcess from scrapy.utils.project import get_project_settings def blog_crawler(self, mood): item, jl = mood # ITEM = SPIDER process = CrawlerProcess(get_project_settings()) process.crawl(item, domain='allmusic.com') process.start() allmusic = [] allmusic_tracks = [] allmusic_artists = [] try: # jl is file where crawled data is stored with open(jl, 'r+') as t: for line in t: allmusic.append(json.loads(line)) except Exception as e: print (e, 'try another mood') for item in allmusic: allmusic_artists.append(item['artist']) allmusic_tracks.append(item['track']) return zip(allmusic_tracks, allmusic_artists)
app.py :
@app.route('/tracks', methods=['GET','POST']) def tracks(name): from app.datafoo import crawler c = crawler() mood = ['allmusic_delicate_tracks', 'blogs/spiders/allmusic_data/delicate_tracks.jl'] results = c.blog_crawler(mood) return results
if simply run the app with python app.py
, I get the following error:
ValueError: signal only works in main thread
when I run the app with gunicorn -c gconfig.py app:app --log-level=debug --threads 2
, it just hangs there:

lastly, running with gunicorn -c gconfig.py app:app --log-level=debug --threads 2 --error-logfile server.log
, I get:

NOTE:
in this SO answer I've learned that in order to integrate Flask and Scrapy you can either use:
1. Python subprocess
2. Twisted-Klein + Scrapy
3. ScrapyRT
but I haven't had any luck adapting my specific code to these solutions.
I reckon a subprocess would be simpler and suffice, because user experience rarely requires a scraping thread, but am not sure.
could anyone please point me in the right direction here?

Here's a minimal example how you can do it with ScrapyRT.
This is the project structure:
project/ ├── scraping │ ├── example │ │ ├── __init__.py │ │ ├── items.py │ │ ├── middlewares.py │ │ ├── pipelines.py │ │ ├── settings.py │ │ └── spiders │ │ ├── __init__.py │ │ └── quotes.py │ └── scrapy.cfg └── webapp └── example.py
scraping
directory contains the Scrapy project. This project contains one spider quotes.py
to scrape some quotes from quotes.toscrape.com:
# -*- coding: utf-8 -*- from __future__ import unicode_literals import scrapy class QuotesSpider(scrapy.Spider): name = 'quotes' start_urls = ['http://quotes.toscrape.com/'] def parse(self, response): for quote in response.xpath('//div[@class="quote"]'): yield { 'author': quote.xpath('.//small[@class="author"]/text()').extract_first(), 'text': quote.xpath('normalize-space(./span[@class="text"])').extract_first() }
In order to start ScrapyRT and listen to requests for scraping, go to the Scrapy project's directory scraping
and issue scrapyrt
command:
$ cd ./project/scraping $ scrapyrt
ScrapyRT will now listen on localhost:9080.
webapp
directory contains simple Flask app that scrapes quotes on demand (using the spider above) and simply displays them to user:
from __future__ import unicode_literals import json import requests from flask import Flask app = Flask(__name__) @app.route('/') def show_quotes(): params = { 'spider_name': 'quotes', 'start_requests': True } response = requests.get('http://localhost:9080/crawl.json', params) data = json.loads(response.text) result = '\n'.join('<p><b>{}</b> - {}</p>'.format(item['author'], item['text']) for item in data['items']) return result
To start the app:
$ cd ./project/webapp $ FLASK_APP=example.py flask run
Now when you point the browser on localhost:5000, you'll the list of quotes freshly scraped from quotes.toscrape.com.
