php spider 参数详解,Scrapy基础——CrawlSpider详解

写在前面

在Scrapy基础——Spider中，我简要地说了一下Spider类。Spider基本上能做很多事情了，但是如果你想爬取知乎或者是简书全站的话，你可能需要一个更强大的武器。

CrawlSpider基于Spider，但是可以说是为全站爬取而生。

简要说明

CrawlSpider是爬取那些具有一定规则网站的常用的爬虫，它基于Spider并有一些独特属性

rules: 是Rule对象的集合，用于匹配目标网站并排除干扰

parse_start_url: 用于爬取起始响应，必须要返回Item，Request中的一个。

因为rules是Rule对象的集合，所以这里也要介绍一下Rule。它有几个参数：link_extractor、callback=None、cb_kwargs=None、follow=None、process_links=None、process_request=None

其中的link_extractor既可以自己定义，也可以使用已有LinkExtractor类，主要参数为：

allow：满足括号中“正则表达式”的值会被提取，如果为空，则全部匹配。

deny：与这个正则表达式(或正则表达式列表)不匹配的URL一定不提取。

allow_domains：会被提取的链接的domains。

deny_domains：一定不会被提取链接的domains。

restrict_xpaths：使用xpath表达式，和allow共同作用过滤链接。还有一个类似的restrict_css

下面是官方提供的例子，我将从源代码的角度开始解读一些常见问题：

import scrapy

from scrapy.spiders import CrawlSpider, Rule

from scrapy.linkextractors import LinkExtractor

class MySpider(CrawlSpider):

name = 'example.com'

allowed_domains = ['example.com']

start_urls = ['http://www.example.com']

rules = (

# Extract links matching 'category.php' (but not matching 'subsection.php')

# and follow links from them (since no callback means follow=True by default).

Rule(LinkExtractor(allow=('category\.php', ), deny=('subsection\.php', ))),

# Extract links matching 'item.php' and parse them with the spider's method parse_item

Rule(LinkExtractor(allow=('item\.php', )), callback='parse_item'),

)

def parse_item(self, response):

self.logger.info('Hi, this is an item page! %s', response.url)

item = scrapy.Item()

item['id'] = response.xpath('//td[@id="item_id"]/text()').re(r'ID: (\d+)')

item['name'] = response.xpath('//td[@id="item_name"]/text()').extract()

item['description'] = response.xpath('//td[@id="item_description"]/text()').extract()

return item

问题：CrawlSpider如何工作的？

因为CrawlSpider继承了Spider，所以具有Spider的所有函数。

首先由start_requests对start_urls中的每一个url发起请求(make_requests_from_url)，这个请求会被parse接收。在Spider里面的parse需要我们定义，但CrawlSpider定义parse去解析响应(self._parse_response(response, self.parse_start_url, cb_kwargs={}, follow=True))

_parse_response根据有无callback,follow和self.follow_links执行不同的操作

def _parse_response(self, response, callback, cb_kwargs, follow=True):

##如果传入了callback，使用这个callback解析页面并获取解析得到的reques或item

if callback:

cb_res = callback(response, **cb_kwargs) or ()

cb_res = self.process_results(response, cb_res)

for requests_or_item in iterate_spider_output(cb_res):

yield requests_or_item

## 其次判断有无follow，用_requests_to_follow解析响应是否有符合要求的link。

if follow and self._follow_links:

for request_or_item in self._requests_to_follow(response):

yield request_or_item

其中_requests_to_follow又会获取link_extractor(这个是我们传入的LinkExtractor)解析页面得到的link(link_extractor.extract_links(response)),对url进行加工(process_links，需要自定义)，对符合的link发起Request。使用.process_request(需要自定义)处理响应。

问题：CrawlSpider如何获取rules？

CrawlSpider类会在__init__方法中调用_compile_rules方法，然后在其中浅拷贝rules中的各个Rule获取要用于回调(callback)，要进行处理的链接(process_links)和要进行的处理请求(process_request)

def _compile_rules(self):

def get_method(method):

if callable(method):

return method

elif isinstance(method, six.string_types):

return getattr(self, method, None)

self._rules = [copy.copy(r) for r in self.rules]

for rule in self._rules:

rule.callback = get_method(rule.callback)

rule.process_links = get_method(rule.process_links)

rule.process_request = get_method(rule.process_request)

那么Rule是怎么样定义的呢？

class Rule(object):

def __init__(self, link_extractor, callback=None, cb_kwargs=None, follow=None, process_links=None, process_request=identity):

self.link_extractor = link_extractor

self.callback = callback

self.cb_kwargs = cb_kwargs or {}

self.process_links = process_links

self.process_request = process_request

if follow is None:

self.follow = False if callback else True

else:

self.follow = follow

因此LinkExtractor会传给link_extractor。

有callback的是由指定的函数处理，没有callback的是由哪个函数处理的？

由上面的讲解可以发现_parse_response会处理有callback的(响应)respons。

cb_res = callback(response, **cb_kwargs) or ()

而_requests_to_follow会将self._response_downloaded传给callback用于对页面中匹配的url发起请求(request)。

r = Request(url=link.url, callback=self._response_downloaded)

如何在CrawlSpider进行模拟登陆

因为CrawlSpider和Spider一样，都要使用start_requests发起请求，用从Andrew_liu大神借鉴的代码说明如何模拟登陆：

##替换原来的start_requests，callback为

def start_requests(self):

return [Request("http://www.zhihu.com/#signin", meta = {'cookiejar' : 1}, callback = self.post_login)]

def post_login(self, response):

print 'Preparing login'

#下面这句话用于抓取请求网页后返回网页中的_xsrf字段的文字, 用于成功提交表单

xsrf = Selector(response).xpath('//input[@name="_xsrf"]/@value').extract()[0]

print xsrf

#FormRequeset.from_response是Scrapy提供的一个函数, 用于post表单

#登陆成功后, 会调用after_login回调函数

return [FormRequest.from_response(response, #"http://www.zhihu.com/login",

meta = {'cookiejar' : response.meta['cookiejar']},

headers = self.headers,

formdata = {

'_xsrf': xsrf,

'email': '1527927373@qq.com',

'password': '321324jia'

},

callback = self.after_login,

dont_filter = True

)]

#make_requests_from_url会调用parse，就可以与CrawlSpider的parse进行衔接了

def after_login(self, response) :

for url in self.start_urls :

yield self.make_requests_from_url(url)

理论说明如上，有不足或不懂的地方欢迎在留言区和我说明。

其次，我会写一段爬取简书全站用户的爬虫来说明如何具体使用CrawlSpider

最后贴上Scrapy.spiders.CrawlSpider的源代码，以便检查
