I am learning Python and Scrapy and I am learning how to download images using it. I am kind of stuck right now and I cant figure out what the real problem is.
I am getting this error message when I run the spider
<None>: Unsupported URL scheme '': no handler available for that scheme
and
[imageflip] WARNING: File (unknown-error): Error downloading image from <GET
Please see my pipelines.py here
import scrapy
from scrapy.contrib.pipeline.images import ImagesPipeline
from scrapy.exceptions import DropItem
class PriceoflipkartPipeline(object):
def process_item(self, item, spider):
return item
class MyImagesPipeline(ImagesPipeline):
def get_media_requests(self, item, info):
for image_url in item['image_urls']:
yield scrapy.Request(image_url)
def item_completed(self, results, item, info):
image_paths = [x['path'] for ok, x in results if ok]
if not image_paths:
raise DropItem("Item contains no images")
item['image_paths'] = image_paths
return item
Please see my settings.py here
SPIDER_MODULES = ['PriceoFlipkart.spiders']
NEWSPIDER_MODULE = 'PriceoFlipkart.spiders'
ITEM_PIPELINES = ['scrapy.contrib.pipeline.images.ImagesPipeline']
IMAGES_STORE = 'D:\PriceoFlipkart\Images'
IMAGES_EXPIRES = 90
Please see my Spider here
import scrapy
from PriceoFlipkart.items import PriceoflipkartItem
class FlipkartSpider(scrapy.Spider):
name = "imageflip"
allowed_domains = ["flipkart.com"]
start_urls = [
"http://www.flipkart.com/moto-g-2nd-gen/p/itme5z8n9mt77ajr?pid=MOBDYGZ6SHNB7RFC&srno=b_1&ref=06f4e48c-9548-45fa-b3ac-fa5fdf0e0d22"
]
def parse(self, response):
for sel in response.xpath('//body'):
item = PriceoflipkartItem()
item['image_urls'] = sel.select('//img[@class="productImage current"]').extract()
yield item
and in my item.py I have added the following code
image_urls = scrapy.Field()
images = scrapy.Field()
Please advice me as to how to configure it correctly so that the image is downloaded. I am on a Windows 8 machine. Thank you in advance.
