Visual scraping for Scrapy

Web Crawlingportia
Overview

Portia

Portia is a tool that allows you to visually scrape websites without any programming knowledge required. With Portia you can annotate a web page to identify the data you wish to extract, and Portia will understand based on these annotations how to scrape data from similar pages.

Running Portia

The easiest way to run Portia is using Docker:

You can run Portia using Docker & official Portia-image by running:

docker run -v ~/portia_projects:/app/data/projects:rw -p 9001:9001 scrapinghub/portia

You can also set up a local instance with Docker-compose by cloning this repo & running from the root of the folder:

docker-compose up

For more detailed instructions, and alternatives to using Docker, see the Installation docs.

Documentation

Documentation can be found from Read the docs. Source files can be found in the docs directory.

  • unable to deploy with scrapyd-deploy

    unable to deploy with scrapyd-deploy

    Hello,

    Could you please help me figure out what I'm doing wrong ? Here are the steps: i followed the portia install manual - all ok i created a new project, entered an url, tagged an item - all ok clicked "continue browsing", browsed through site, items were being extracted as expected - all ok

    Next i wanted to deploy my spider: 1st try : i tried to run, as the docs specified, scrapyd-deploy your_scrapyd_target -p project_name - got error - scrapyd wasn't installed fix: pip install scrapyd 2nd try : i launched scrapyd server (also missing from the docs), accessed http://localhost:6800/ -all ok after a brief reading of scrapyd docs i found out i had to edit the file scrapy.cfg from my project : slyd/data/projects/new_project/scrapy.cfg added the following : [deploy:local] url = http://localhost:6800/

    went back to the console, checked all is ok : $:> scrapyd-deploy -l local http://localhost:6800/

    $:> scrapyd-deploy -L local default

    seemed ok so i gave it another try : $scrapyd-deploy local -p default Packing version 1418722113 Deploying to project "default" in http://localhost:6800/addversion.json Server response (200): {"status": "error", "message": "IOError: [Errno 21] Is a directory: '/Users/Mihai/Work/www/4ideas/MarketWatcher/portia_tryout/portia/slyd/data/projects/new_project'"}

    What am I missing ?

    Support for JS

    Add support for JS based sites. It would be nice to have UI support for configuring instead of having to do it manually at the Scrapy level.

    Perhaps we can allow users to enable or disable sending requests via Splash.

  • Crawls duplicate/identical URLs

    Crawls duplicate/identical URLs

    If there are duplicate URLs on the page they will be crawled and exported as many times as you see the link.

    It is very unusual circumstances that you would need to crawl the same URL more than once.

    I have two proposals:

    1. Have a checkbox so you can tick "Avoid visiting duplicate links".
    2. Alternatively, add filtering options in the link crawler to filter by HTML markup too, that way only only links with certain classes.

  • Question: how to store data in json

    Question: how to store data in json

    Hi, recently I have installed portia and it's quite good. But since I'm not very familiar with it, I have met a problem: In my template I used variants to scrape the website and it worked well when I clicked continue browsing or turned to a similiar page. However, when I started running the portia spider in cmd, it could successfully scrape data yet failed to store the whole data scraped in the json file. I found that in the json file only the data in the page I annotated were stored. I guess the problem is "WARNING: Dropped: Duplicate product scraped at http://bbs.chinadaily.com.cn/forum-83-206.html, first one was scraped at http://bbs.chinadaily.com.cn/forum-83-2.html" (it appeared in cmd when the spider was running), but I don't know how to solve the problem. I hope someone can help me as soon as possible. Thanks very much!
