Web Scraping With Python (An Ultimate Guide)
Something I don't see discussed when this topic is brought up is that Scrapy's HTML parsing library, parsel, can be installed separately from scrapy itself. You can use it in place of beautifulsoup and, imo, it's much easier to use.

How to Crawl the Web with Scrapy
Rtila [1]
Created by an indy/solo developer-on-fire cranking out user-requested features quite quickly... check the releases page [2]
I have used (or at lelast trialled) the vast majority acraping tech and written hundreds of scrapers since my first VB5 controlling IE and dumping to SQLserver in the 90's and then moving to various php and python libs/frameworks and a handful of windows apps like ubot and imacros (both of which were useful to me at some point but I never use those nowadays)
A recent release of Rtila allows creating standalone bots you can run using it's built-in local Node.js server (which also has it's own locally hosted server API you can program anything else against using any language you like)
