Scrapy is a fast, open source, high-level framework for crawling websites and extracting structured data from these websites. Portable and written in Python, it can run on Windows, Linux, macOS and BSD.
Scrapy is powerful, fast and simple, and also easily extensible. Simply write the rules to extract the data, and add new functionality if you wish without having to touch the core. Scrapy does the rest, and can be used in a number of applications. It can be used for data mining, monitoring and automated testing.
