Course Overview
Free and open source web crawling framework, written in Python
Scraping data from webpages can be a tedious job. But it doesn’t have to be.
With Scrapy, you can scrape using XPath or CSS. With the large number of examples from both techniques, you’re sure to find a solution that fits for you.
Whether your targeting data on a single page or multiple, Scrapy can handle the job. No matter if the data is within a list, you can scrape specific patterns right out of the list. Building up your specific Scrapy job isn't a difficult task.
Scrapy is a Python library. If you're familiar with Python, XPath or CSS, you'll feel right at home using Scrapy.
At the end of this course, you will understand:
- what Scrapy is used for
- how to install it
- how to use Scapy
In summary, you'll be able to target specific elements on a webpage, whether the element is stand along or in a list. Then you can retrieve a group of those elements or just one. This technique allows you to pull down specific types of data.
The course ends with a project to help solidify what you've learned. There is a full walk through included with the project solution.

I was expecting a real world example where the instructor will demonstrate how to login to website and then scrape data not only in html files may be pdf file, handling of javascript websites and so on..Then logout from site gracefully.

What he explained here (mostly) are available at scrapy docs. 10 bucks is nothing but this course is not even worth for 10 bucks. Sorry to say that dude, you must give more value on your course

Some of the examples where already at the Scrapy tutorial. Not much value added after completing the course if you have already done the Scrapy tutorial.

The lecture could explain more on how to login or search on a site and then parse the results
