Scrapy is a fast, open-source web crawling and data extraction framework written in Python, widely used for web scraping and mining structured data from websites. Unlike simple scraping libraries, Scrapy is a comprehensive framework that manages every aspect of the scraping processβfrom sending HTTP requests and handling responses to processing, cleaning, and storing the extracted data in formats such as JSON, CSV, or XML. In the example below, we have a Python scrapy script that crawls darkweb onion websites.
