I am trying to read and write all output from Mysql. When My spiders start scraping I want to get all URL from MySQL database so I try to make a function to read data.
readdata.py:
import mysql.connector
from mysql.connector import Error
from itemadapter import ItemAdapter
def dataReader(marketName):
try:
connection = mysql.connector.connect(host='localhost',
database='test',
user='root',
port=3306,
password='1234')
sql_select_Query = "SELECT shop_URL FROM datatable.bot_markets WHERE shop_name='"+marketName+"';"
cursor = connection.cursor()
cursor.execute(sql_select_Query)
records = cursor.fetchall()
return records
except Error as e:
print("Error reading data from MySQL table", e)
finally:
if (connection.is_connected()):
connection.close()
cursor.close()
print("MySQL connection is closed")
I want to call the this function from my spider as follow.
My Spider:
import scrapy
import re
import mysql.connector
from ..items import FirstBotItem
from scrapy.utils.project import get_project_settings
from first_bot.readdata import dataReader
class My_Spider(scrapy.Spider):
name = "My_Spider"
allowed_domains = ["quotes.toscrape.com/"]
start_urls = dataReader(name)
def parse(self, response):
location = "quotes"
for product in response.xpath('.//div[@class="product-card product-action "]'):
product_link = response.url
prices = product.xpath('.//div[@class="price-tag"]/span[@class="value"]/text()').get()
if prices != None:prices = re.sub(r"[\s]", "", prices)
title = product.xpath('.//h5[@class="title product-card-title"]/a/text()').get()
unit = product.xpath('.//div[@class="select single-select"]//i/text()').get()
if unit != None: unit = re.sub(r"[\s]", "", unit)
item = FirstBotItem()
item['LOKASYON'] = location
item['YEAR'] = 2020
item['MONTH'] = 8
yield item
I am doing something wrong with start_urls but I couldn't figure out. I am getting this error.
_set_url
raise TypeError('Request url must be str or unicode, got %s:' % type(url).__name__)
TypeError: Request url must be str or unicode, got tuple:

My main task is to get all URLs from the database. Because someone will write the URL on the same website and the spider will crawl automatically.
