scrapy run spider from script

Question

I want to run my spider from a script rather than a scrap crawl

I found this page

http://doc.scrapy.org/en/latest/topics/practices.html

Answer 1

Why don't you just do this?

from scrapy import cmdline

cmdline.execute("scrapy crawl myspider".split())

Put that script in the same path where you put scrapy.cfg
