scrapeops-scrapy-sdk VS scrapydweb

My favourite scrapingtool is Scrappy, requires some Python knowledge but there are some very good tutorials about it on https://scrapeops.io

Part 5: Deployment, Scheduling & Running Jobs - Deploying our spider on a server, and monitoring and scheduling jobs via ScrapeOps. Article

You could use a free tool like ScrapeOps that integrates directly into a server/VM or a Scrapyd server and allows you to schedule, run and monitor your jobs from a single dashboard.

Proxy APIs: The middle ground is using a smart proxy provider like ScrapeOps which aggregates lots of different proxy providers together and manages the entire proxy stack and request optimization for you. With these, you only pay for successful requests and works out much cheaper than residential proxies, and much less hassle than managing your own datacenter IPs.

FYI - if you want to see all your errors on a dashboard then you can checkout ScrapeOps which monitors your scrapers stats and errors. Just a 3 line install into your settings.py file. Live demo here

Just letting you know that we've updated the ScrapeOps Scrapy extension so it now monitors your errors & warnings in real-time and displays them on your dashboard. It allows you to:

For monitoring jobs and getting alerts then the ScrapeOps extension is a good option. Currently, just for Scrapy but will have Python Requests SDK in the next week. https://github.com/ScrapeOps/scrapeops-scrapy-sdk

Cool. You should check out ScrapeOps if you would like a free monitoring tool for your Scrapy spiders.

The ScrapeOps extension is free and designed for monitoring your jobs, checking data quality, getting alerts, and scheduling jobs.

It's seems like there are a lot of more recently updated forks https://github.com/my8100/scrapydweb/network

You also have this as a managment tool https://github.com/my8100/scrapydweb

There are many different Scrapyd dashboard and admin tools available, from ScrapeOps (Live Demo) to ScrapydWeb, SpiderKeeper, and more.

ScrapydWeb is the most popular open source Scrapyd admin dashboards. Boasting 2,400 Github stars, ScrapydWeb has been fully embraced by the Scrapy community.

While I am aware that we could use Scrapyd to host your spiders and actually send requests, alongside with ScrapydWeb, I personally prefer to keep my scraper deployment simple, quick, and free. If you are interested in this alternative instead, check out this post written by Harry Wang.

If you're looking for an interactive scrapyd webinterface integrated with scrapyd, you can check https://github.com/my8100/scrapydweb. It is rich in features and can save your time in building your own web interface.
