There is no validation for wrong format or improper characters in the results (all input from textarea is included). It is possible to use only one string search operation at a time. String search operation MUST be included in the first line of textarea. Link objects represent an extracted link by the LinkExtractor.Search Operators: #=contains: - it will find all lines not ending with the searched string Link ( url, text = '', fragment = '', nofollow = False ) ¶ Only links that match the settings passed to the _init_ method ofĭuplicate links are omitted. if you’re extracting urlsįrom elements or attributes which allow leading/trailing whitespaces). Must be stripped from href attributes of, Īnd many other elements, src attribute of, Įlements, etc., so LinkExtractor strips space chars by default.

Strip ( bool) – whether to strip whitespaces from extracted attributes.Īccording to HTML5 standard, leading and trailing whitespaces search ( "javascript:goToPage\('(.*?)'", value ) if m : return m. Given, process_value defaults to lambda x: x.įor example, to extract links from this code:ĭef process_value ( value ): m = re. New one, or return None to ignore the link altogether. The tag and attributes scanned and can modify the value and return a Process_value ( ) –Ī function which receives each value extracted from Unique ( bool) – whether duplicate filtering should be applied to extracted Using LinkExtractor to follow links it is more robust to It can change the URL visible at server side, so the response can beĭifferent for requests with canonicalized and raw URLs. Note that canonicalize_url is meant for duplicate checking Tags ( str or list) – a tag or a list of tags to consider when extracting links.Īttrs ( list) – an attribute or list of attributes which should be considered when lookingįor links to extract (only for those tags specified in the tagsĬanonicalize ( bool) – canonicalize each extracted url (using Given, the link will be extracted if it matches at least one. Given (or empty), it will match all links. That the link’s text must match in order to be extracted. Restrict_text ( str or list) – a single regular expression (or list of regular expressions) Has the same behaviour as restrict_xpaths. Restrict_css ( str or list) – a CSS selector (or list of selectors) which defines If given, only the text selected by those XPath will be scanned for Regions inside the response where links should be extracted from. Restrict_xpaths ( str or list) – is an XPath (or list of XPath’s) which defines _EXTENSIONS.Ĭhanged in version 2.0: IGNORED_EXTENSIONS now includes

It is implemented using lxml’s robust HTMLParser. LxmlLinkExtractor is the recommended link extractor with handy filtering LxmlLinkExtractor ( allow = (), deny = (), allow_domains = (), deny_domains = (), deny_extensions = None, restrict_xpaths = (), restrict_css = (), tags = ('a', 'area'), attrs = ('href',), canonicalize = False, unique = True, process_value = None, strip = True ) ¶ Downloading and processing files and imagesįrom scrapy.linkextractors import LinkExtractor LxmlLinkExtractor ¶ class.Using your browser’s Developer Tools for scraping.
