Django Dynamic Scraper (DDS) is an app for Django build on top of the scraping framework Scrapy. While preserving many of the features of Scrapy it lets you dynamically create and manage spiders via the Django admin interface. With Django Dynamic Scraper (DDS) you can define your Scrapy scrapers dynamically via the Django admin interface and save your scraped items in the database you defined for your Django project. Since it simplifies things DDS is not usable for all kinds of scrapers, but it is well suited for the relatively common case of regularly scraping a website with a list of updated items (e.g. news, events, etc.) and then dig into the detail page to scrape some more infos for each item. Django Dynamic Scraper tries to keep its data structure in the database as separated as possible from the models in your app, so it comes with its own Django model classes for defining scrapers, runtime information related to your scraper runs and classes.
Features
- Create and manage scrapers for your Django models in the Django admin interface
- Many features of Scrapy like regular expressions, processors, pipelines (see Scrapy Docs)
