Scrapy的start_urls

剧本（下）来自this教程包含两个start_urls.

from scrapy.spider import Spider
from scrapy.selector import Selector

from dirbot.items import Website

class DmozSpider(Spider):
    name = "dmoz"
    allowed_domains = ["dmoz.org"]
    start_urls = [
        "http://www.dmoz.org/Computers/Programming/Languages/Python/Books/",
        "http://www.dmoz.org/Computers/Programming/Languages/Python/Resources/",
    ]

    def parse(self, response):
        """
        The lines below is a spider contract. For more info see:
        http://doc.scrapy.org/en/latest/topics/contracts.html
        @url http://www.dmoz.org/Computers/Programming/Languages/Python/Resources/
        @scrapes name
        """
        sel = Selector(response)
        sites = sel.xpath('//ul[@class="directory-url"]/li')
        items = []

        for site in sites:
            item = Website()
            item['name'] = site.xpath('a/text()').extract()
            item['url'] = site.xpath('a/@href').extract()
            item['description'] = site.xpath('text()').re('-\s[^\n]*\\r')
            items.append(item)

        return items

但为什么它只抓取这两个网页呢？我懂了allowed_domains = ["dmoz.org"]但这两个页面还包含指向其他页面的链接dmoz.org领域！为什么它不把它们也刮掉呢？

start_urlsclass 属性包含起始 url - 仅此而已。如果您提取了要抓取的其他页面的网址 - 收益parse使用 [another] 回调回调相应的请求：

class Spider(BaseSpider):

    name = 'my_spider'
    start_urls = [
                'http://www.domain.com/'
    ]
    allowed_domains = ['domain.com']

    def parse(self, response):
        '''Parse main page and extract categories links.'''
        hxs = HtmlXPathSelector(response)
        urls = hxs.select("//*[@id='tSubmenuContent']/a[position()>1]/@href").extract()
        for url in urls:
            url = urlparse.urljoin(response.url, url)
            self.log('Found category url: %s' % url)
            yield Request(url, callback = self.parseCategory)

    def parseCategory(self, response):
        '''Parse category page and extract links of the items.'''
        hxs = HtmlXPathSelector(response)
        links = hxs.select("//*[@id='_list']//td[@class='tListDesc']/a/@href").extract()
        for link in links:
            itemLink = urlparse.urljoin(response.url, link)
            self.log('Found item link: %s' % itemLink, log.DEBUG)
            yield Request(itemLink, callback = self.parseItem)

    def parseItem(self, response):
        ...

如果您仍然想自定义启动请求创建，请重写方法BaseSpider.start_requests()
