There are few concurrency settings in Scrapy, like CONCURRENT_REQUESTS . Does it mean, that Scrapy crawler is multi-threaded? So if I run scrapy crawl my_crawler it will literally fire multiple simultaneous requests in parallel? Im asking because, I've read that Scrapy is single-threaded. Scrapy is single-threaded, except the interactive shell and some tests, see source . It's built on top of Twisted , which is single-threaded too, and makes use of it's own asynchronous concurrency capabilities, such as twisted.internet.interfaces.IReactorThreads.callFromThread , see source . Scrapy does most

I need to crawl and store locally for future analysis the contents of a finite list of websites. I basically want to slurp in all pages and follow all internal links to get the entire publicly available site. Are there existing free libraries to get me there? I've seen Chilkat, but it's for pay. I'm just looking for baseline functionality here. Thoughts? Suggestions? Exact Duplicate: Anyone know of a good python based web crawler that I could use? Use Scrapy . It is a twisted-based web crawler framework. Still under heavy development but it works already. Has many goodies: Built-in support for

What I want is to be able to tell it to hold back on taking requests once a certain amount goes into the scheduler. I have tried setting a DEPTH_LIMIT but that only lets it grab a large amount and then run the callback on the ones that it has grabbed. It seems like a

I am using Apache Nutch 2.3 for crawling. There were about 200 urls in seed at start. Now as the time elasped, number of documents crawler are going to decrease or atmost same as at start. How I can configure Nutch so that my documents crawled should be increased? Is there any parameter that can be used to control number of documents?
