I’m going to walk through how to develop a basic spider using the Scrapy package. The purpose of this tutorial will be to introduce the basic concepts needed to understand and use the Scrapy package, and give you the tools to develop custom spiders for your data collection needs. Scrapy does have very good documentation, so I encourage you to look through the docs to dig a little deeper into what Scrapy has to offer.
