@scrapeops this example is extremely close to solving my problem. Thank you! I need to scrape a specific set of pages and pull back only 2 fields, the item name, and the 12 "related pages" (both text and urls) listed near the bottom of each item page. I've attempted to manipulate the code but haven't found a working solution yet.

awesome video! have a few questions ( I am just starting my scraping journey). When I run the scraper after installing everything and inpiutting the API key it runs but crawls 0 pages and scrapes 0 pages. What am I missing? Any help would be appreciated!

Great tutor for scrapy! Thanks for your selflessness. However, I did not understand this part of your code:


if max_pages>25:
max_pages=25

why is it necessary? why divide by 40? please help me understand
