Features

--------

* Distributed crawling/scraping

    You can start multiple spider instances that share a single redis queue.

    Best suitable for broad multi-domain crawls.

* Distributed post-processing

    Scraped items gets pushed into a redis queued meaning that you can start as

    many as needed post-processing processes sharing the items queue.

* Scrapy plug-and-play components

    Scheduler + Duplication Filter, Item Pipeline, Base Spiders.

* In this forked version: added ``json`` supported data in Redis

    data contains ``url``, ```meta``` and other optional parameters. ``meta`` is a nested json which contains sub-data.

    this function extract this data and send another FormRequest with ``url``, ``meta`` and addition ``formdata``.

    For example:

    .. code-block:: json

        { "url": "https://exaple.com", "meta": {"job-id":"123xsd", "start-date":"dd/mm/yy"}, "url_cookie_key":"fertxsas" }

    this data can be accessed in `scrapy spider` through response.

    like: `request.url`, `request.meta`, `request.cookies`

    

.. note:: This features cover the basic case of distributing the workload across multiple workers. If you need more features like URL expiration, advanced URL prioritization, etc., we suggest you to take a look at the Frontera_ project.
