Scrapy爬虫无法跟随链接

Question

我正在编写一个scrapy爬虫，从今天的纽约时报主页爬取文章，但出于某种原因它不会跟随任何链接。当我在 scrapy shell http://www.nytimes.com 中实例化链接提取器时，使用 le.extract_links(response) 成功提取了文章url列表，但我无法让我的爬行命令 (scrapy crawl nyt -o out.json) 爬取除主页以外的任何内容。我已经束手无策了。这是因为主页没有从解析函数中产生文章吗？非常感谢您的帮助。

Answer 1

我已经找到了解决问题的方法。我做错了两件事:

1. 如果要自动爬取子链接，我需要继承CrawlSpider而不是Spider.
2. 当使用CrawlSpider时，我需要使用回调函数而不是覆盖parse。根据文档，覆盖parse会破坏CrawlSpider的功能。
