scrapy-mosquitera 0.1.1

How it works

In the case where the dates are available in the URLs, you will just use the matcher function directly in your code:

from scrapy_mosquitera.matchers import date_matches

 date = scrape_date_from_url(url)

 if date_matches(data=date, after='5 days ago'):
    yield Request(url=url, callback=self.parse_item)

To handle the case when the date is only available at the time when you scrape the items, scrapy-mosquitera provides a PaginationMixin to control the crawl according to the dates scraped.

Head on to the remaining of the documentation for more details.

pip install scrapy-mosquitera
