I am trying to replicate this same block of code with scrapy's default request library as it faster and much more efficient. I am trying to retrieve data from the steamstore api:
import requests
import json
url = "http://store.steampowered.com/api/appdetails/"
appid = 10
name = "Counter-Strike"
parameters = {"appids": appid}
response = requests.get(url=url, params=parameters)
json_data = response.json()
json_app_data = json_data[str(appid)]
if json_app_data['success']:
data = json_app_data['data']
else:
data = {'name': name, 'steam_appid': appid}
print(data)
CodePudding user response：
Actually, scrapy didn't know what's params? meaning it can't take params as parameter.So alternatively, you can do that is to inject the entire api url in scrapy Request method.
Example:
import scrapy
import json
from scrapy.crawler import CrawlerProcess
class TestSpider(scrapy.Spider):
name = 'test'
def start_requests(self):
headers= {
'User-Agent': 'Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 10.0; Win64; x64) AppleWebKit/537.36 (KHTML, like Gecko) Chrome/103.0.0.0 Safari/537.36'}
api_url='https://store.steampowered.com/api/appdetails/?appids=10'
yield scrapy.Request(
url= api_url,
method='GET',
headers=headers,
callback=self.parse
)
def parse(self, response):
json_app_data = json.loads(response.body)
print(json_app_data['10']['data'])
if __name__ == "__main__":
process = CrawlerProcess(TestSpider)
process.crawl()
process.start()
Output:
