scrapy: Open a webpage in the default browser as Scrapy sees it (disable JavaScript for extra fidelity).
$ scrapy view ${url}
try on your machine
The command "scrapy view ${url}" is used with the Scrapy framework to open a web page in a browser for inspection and debugging purposes.
Here's what each part of the command means:
- "scrapy view": This is the command used to start the Scrapy spider and open the web page for viewing.
- "${url}": This is a placeholder that should be replaced with the specific URL of the web page you want to open.
When you execute this command with the actual URL, Scrapy will open the specified web page in your default web browser. This allows you to visually inspect the web page, check its structure, and understand how to extract data using Scrapy selectors or XPath expressions. It can be useful for debugging and understanding the layout of the page before writing a Scrapy spider to scrape or crawl it.

never run a command you are not sure if it is safe.
