I've been working on a scraping project in Scrapy over the last month, using Selenium as well. My Python skills are mediocre (mostly a Java/Kotlin dev).

Not only has it been a blast to try out, but also surprisingly easy to setup.

I now have around 11 domains being scraped 4 times a day through a well defined pipeline + ETL then pipes it to Firebase Firestore for consumption.

Next step is to write the page on top of it.



Are you using Scrapy mainly for scraping, or do you do crawling, as well?


In my case I am only using it for direct scraping.
