scrapy: Fetch a webpage as Scrapy sees it and print the source to `stdout`.
$ scrapy fetch ${url}
try on your machine
The command "scrapy fetch ${url}" is typically used in the Scrapy web crawling and scraping framework.
Here's a breakdown of each component:
- "scrapy" refers to the Scrapy command-line tool.
- "fetch" is a Scrapy command that simulates an HTTP request to a specified URL.
- "${url}" is a placeholder for the actual URL you want to fetch. This stands for a variable or parameter that should be replaced with the desired URL.
When you run this command by replacing "${url}" with the specific URL you want to fetch, Scrapy will make a HTTP request to that URL and retrieve the corresponding HTML response. This command is useful for quickly testing and inspecting how a certain website responds to a request or troubleshooting issues related to website scraping.
