Summary

This chapter introduced Scrapy, a web scraping framework with many high-level features to improve efficiency at scraping websites. Additionally, this chapter covered Portia, which provides a visual interface to generate Scrapy spiders. Finally, we tested Scrapely, the library used by Portia to scrape web pages automatically for a given model.

In the next chapter, we will apply the skills learned so far to some real-world websites.
