scrapyduler

Scrapyd launcher module that schedules scrapy spiders by time.

Install

$ pip install scrapyduler

Config

To start using this library you just need to override the launcher option in your scrapyd.conf file:

[scrapyd]
launcher = scrapyduler.launcher.Launcher

and then add the schedulers configuration, e.g.:

[scheduler.1]
cron        = * * * * *
project     = quotesbot
spider      = toscrape-xpath
settings    = HTTPPROXY_ENABLED=True
args        = key1=value1 key2=value2 start_url=http://quotes.toscrape.com/

[scheduler.2]
interval    = weeks=0 days=0 hours=0 minutes=0 seconds=30
project     = quotesbot
spider      = toscrape-css
settings    = HTTPPROXY_ENABLED=True
args        = key1=value1 key2=value2 start_url=http://quotes.toscrape.com/

In the examples above, we set up two schedulers. The first scheduler uses cron syntax to run spiders. The second scheduler triggers on specified intervals, starting on start_date if specified, datetime.now() + interval otherwise. See https://github.com/agronholm/apscheduler for more information.
