To loop through a list of API URLs using Scrapy, you can use the start_requests() method. This method allows you to generate multiple requests for the URLs in the list and makes it easy to iterate through them efficiently.
Here is an example code snippet:
import scrapy
class MySpider(scrapy.Spider):
name = "my_spider"
api_urls = [
'http://api.example.com/data1',
'http://api.example.com/data2',
'http://api.example.com/data3'
]
def start_requests(self):
for url in self.api_urls:
yield scrapy.Request(url, callback=self.parse)
def parse(self, response):
# process the API response here
pass
In this example, the list of API URLs is stored in the apiurls variable. The startrequests() method generates requests for each URL in the list and directs them to the parse() method. The parse() method then handles the API response and processes the data as required.
You can customize this code to suit your specific requirements, such as adding authentication, pagination, or other parameters to the API requests.
