How to give delay between each requests in scrapy?

Question

I don\'t want to crawl simultaneously and get blocked. I would like to send one request per second.

Answer 1

Delays Can we set in 2 says:-

We can specify the delay while running the crawler. Eg. scrapy crawl sample --set DOWNLOAD_DELAY=3 ( which means 3 seconds delay between two requests)

Or else we can specify Globaly in the settings.py DOWNLOAD_DELAY = 3

by default scrapy takes 0.25 seconds delay between 2 requests.
