Unofficial Python port of puppeteer JavaScript (headless) chrome/chromium browser automation library. Before undertaking any sort of developement, it is highly recommended that you take a look at #16 for the ongoing effort to update this library to avoid duplicating efforts. Image_file.write(response.Note: this is a continuation of the pyppeteer project. With open('image.png', 'wb') as image_file: png captured will be added to the response `meta`: When used, puppeteer will take a () of the page and the binary data of the. Will be passed to the () parameter of puppeteer. The `scrapy_puppeteer.PuppeteerRequest` accept 2 additional arguments: The `selector` response attribute work as usual (but contains the html processed by puppeteer).ĭef parse_result(self, Additional arguments The request will be then handled by puppeteer. Yield PuppeteerRequest('', self.parse_result) Use the `scrapy_puppeteer.PuppeteerRequest` instead of the Scrapy built-in `Request` like below:įrom scrapy_puppeteer import PuppeteerRequest 'scrapy_puppeteer.PuppeteerMiddleware': 800 If you are running your spiders from a script, you will have to make sure you install the asyncio reactor before importing scrapy or doing anything else:įrom twisted.internet import asyncioreactorĪsyncioreactor.install(asyncio.get_event_loop())Īdd the `PuppeteerMiddleware` to the downloader middlewares: That's why you **cannot** use the buit-in `scrapy` command line (installing the default reactor), you will have to use the `scrapyp` one, provided by this module. Luckily, we can use the Twisted's () to make the two talking with each other.

The main issue when running Scrapy and Puppeteer together is that Scrapy is using () and that () (the python port of puppeteer we are using) is using () for async stuff.

The design is strongly inspired of the Scrapy (). This is an attempt to make Scrapy and Puppeteer work together to handle Javascript-rendered pages.

# ⚠ IN ACTIVE DEVELOPMENT - READ BEFORE USING ⚠ Scrapy middleware to handle javascript pages using ().
