(9.6.16 Update): It's very late and I'm going to upload this code just in case I lose it.
However if all you need is a straightforward scraping tool this might be the project for you.
This is all good and fine, however it still doesn't solve my problem, as I intend to scrape the contact information and descriptions as well from the job data. Look in the C:\Python27\Lib\site-packages\craigslist or similar directory for the _init_.py file, which holds some extra settings. It will allow you to scrape for all kinds of data. (9.5.16 Update): If you are looking to use a scraper to do many different things, I recommend using the module referred by /u/dante76, available here on GitHub. I'm soooo close - Please help me r/learnpython! I just want the power of python to help me find a job. I'm just trying to automate my own work, I don't work for a company or anything like that. I've been trying any sort of example I can find, reading every scrap of code on Github, and all I can do is pull the titles and the links. Next = driver.find_element_by_class_name('next') #Define link to the next page Item = titles.xpath("/html/body/section/section/section/section").extract() Item = titles.xpath("/html/body/section/section/header/div/div/div/ul/li/div").extract() Item = titles.xpath("/html/body/section/section/h2/span/span").extract()
Reply = driver.find_element_by_class_name('reply_button') #Define link for reply button to open Please see the newest code below: import timeįrom import Keysįrom scrapy.linkextractors import LinkExtractorįrom lector import HtmlXPathSelectorįirst_page_xpath = '/html/body/section/section/header/div/a'ĭriver = webdriver.Chrome('C:\Python27\Chrome Driver\chromedriver_win32\chromedriver.exe')įirst.click() #Clicks link for first page The only problem is getting the data loop to cooperate! After this its supposed to scrape the rest of the data, which is my current error, and then it clicks to the next ad. I feel like I'm on the last leg of this journey and I just need a bit more help.Ĭurrently, my code clicks from the search page into the first results which allows the next button to be unhidden, then it clicks the reply button to reveal the contact information elements (this wasn't really necessary, I just thought it was cool to see). If you comment out the def parse_items loop, everything goes swimmingly. (: I have create code that is capable of everything I need, except extracting the data the way I want 😡) I have referenced the following tutorials while trying to build this script: the documentation for Scrapy & this blog post by Michael Herman. I have read Learning Python the Hard Way as well as a good portion of Automating the hard stuff with Python, however I am still quite a novice. Ultimately I would like to have all of this data placed into a. Please Note: Make sure you rename the parsing function to something besides “parse” as the CrawlSpider uses the parse method to implement its logic.I am attempting to build a scrapy bot capable of ripping the data from my local craigslist for jobs as well as having a recursive functionality to allow for the contact data to be gathered as well.

In the first tutorial, I showed you how to write a crawler with Scrapy to scrape Craiglist Nonprofit jobs in San Francisco and store the data in a CSV file.
