Gerapy Playwright
This is a package for supporting Playwright in Scrapy, also this package is a module in Gerapy.
Installation
pip3 install gerapy-playwright
Usage
You can use PlaywrightRequest to specify a request which uses playwright to render.
For example:
yield PlaywrightRequest(detail_url, callback=self.parse_detail)
And you also need to enable PlaywrightMiddleware in DOWNLOADER_MIDDLEWARES:
DOWNLOADER_MIDDLEWARES = {
'gerapy_playwright.downloadermiddlewares.PlaywrightMiddleware': 543,
}
Congratulate, you've finished the all of the required configuration.
If you run the Spider again, Playwright will be started to render every web page which you configured the request as PlaywrightRequest.
Settings
GerapyPlaywright provides some optional settings.
Concurrency
You can directly use Scrapy's setting to set Concurrency of Playwright, for example:
CONCURRENT_REQUESTS = 3
Pretend as Real Browser
Some website will detect WebDriver or Headless, GerapyPlaywright can pretend Chromium by inject scripts. This is enabled by default.
You can close it if website does not detect WebDriver to speed up:
GERAPY_PLAYWRIGHT_PRETEND = False
Also you can use pretend attribute in PlaywrightRequest to overwrite this configuration.
Logging Level
By default, Playwright will log all the debug messages, so GerapyPlaywright configured the logging level of Playwright to WARNING.
If you want to see more logs from Playwright, you can change the this setting:
import logging
GERAPY_PLAYWRIGHT_LOGGING_LEVEL = logging.DEBUG
Download Timeout
Playwright may take some time to render the required web page, you can also change this setting, default is 30s:
# playwright timeout
GERAPY_PLAYWRIGHT_DOWNLOAD_TIMEOUT = 30
Headless
By default, Playwright is running in Headless mode, you can also change it to False as you need, default is True:
GERAPY_PLAYWRIGHT_HEADLESS = False
Window Size
You can also set the width and height of Playwright window:
GERAPY_PLAYWRIGHT_WINDOW_WIDTH = 1400
GERAPY_PLAYWRIGHT_WINDOW_HEIGHT = 700
Default is 1400, 700.
Proxy
You can set a proxy channel via below this config:
GERAPY_PLAYWRIGHT_PROXY = 'http://tps254.kdlapi.com:15818'
GERAPY_PLAYWRIGHT_PROXY_CREDENTIAL = {
'username': 'xxx',
'password': 'xxxx'
}
Screenshot
You can get screenshot of loaded page, you can pass screenshot args to PlaywrightRequest as dict:
Below are the supported args:
type(str): Specify screenshot type, can be eitherjpegorpng. Defaults topng.quality(int): The quality of the image, between 0-100. Not applicable topngimage.full_page(bool): When true, take a screenshot of the full scrollable page. Defaults toFalse.clip(dict): An object which specifies clipping region of the page. This option should have the following fields:x(int): x-coordinate of top-left corner of clip area.y(int): y-coordinate of top-left corner of clip area.width(int): width of clipping area.height(int): height of clipping area.
omit_background(bool): Hide default white background and allow capturing screenshot with transparency.timeout(str): Maximum time in milliseconds, defaults to 30 seconds, pass 0 to disable timeout.
Check more from https://playwright.dev/python/docs/api/class-page#page-screenshot。
For example:
yield PlaywrightRequest(start_url, callback=self.parse_index, wait_for='.item .name', screenshot={
'type': 'png',
'full_page': True
})
then you can get screenshot result in response.meta['screenshot']:
Simplest save it to file:
def parse_index(self, response):
with open('screenshot.png', 'wb') as f:
f.write(response.meta['screenshot'].getbuffer())
If you want to enable screenshot for all requests, you can configure it by GERAPY_PLAYWRIGHT_SCREENSHOT.
For example:
GERAPY_PLAYWRIGHT_SCREENSHOT = {
'type': 'png',
'full_page': True
}
PlaywrightRequest
PlaywrightRequest provide args which can override global settings above.
- url: request url
- callback: callback
- wait_until: one of "load", "domcontentloaded", "networkidle" see https://playwright.dev/python/docs/api/class-page#page-wait-for-load-state, default is
domcontentloaded - wait_for: wait for some element to load, also supports dict
- script: script to execute
- actions: actions defined for execution of Page object
- proxy: use proxy for this time, like
http://x.x.x.x:x - proxy_credential: the proxy credential, like
{'username': 'xxxx', 'password': 'xxxx'} - sleep: time to sleep after loaded, override
GERAPY_PLAYWRIGHT_SLEEP - timeout: load timeout, override
GERAPY_PLAYWRIGHT_DOWNLOAD_TIMEOUT - ignore_resource_types: ignored resource types, override
GERAPY_PLAYWRIGHT_IGNORE_RESOURCE_TYPES - pretend: pretend as normal browser, override
GERAPY_PLAYWRIGHT_PRETEND - screenshot: ignored resource types, see https://playwright.dev/python/docs/api/class-page#page-screenshot, override
GERAPY_PLAYWRIGHT_SCREENSHOT
For example, you can configure PlaywrightRequest as:
from gerapy_playwright import PlaywrightRequest
def parse(self, response):
yield PlaywrightRequest(url,
callback=self.parse_detail,
wait_until='domcontentloaded',
wait_for='title',
script='() => { return {name: "Germey"} }',
sleep=2)
Then Playwright will:
- wait for document to load
- wait for title to load
- execute
console.log(document)script - sleep for 2s
- return the rendered web page content, get from
response.meta['screenshot'] - return the script executed result, get from
response.meta['script_result']
For waiting mechanism controlled by JavaScript, you can use await in script, for example:
js = '''async () => {
await new Promise(resolve => setTimeout(resolve, 10000));
return {
'name': 'Germey'
}
}
'''
yield PlaywrightRequest(url, callback=self.parse, script=js)
Then you can get the script result from response.meta['script_result'], result is {'name': 'Germey'}.
If you think the JavaScript is wired to write, you can use actions argument to define a function to execute Python based functions, for example:
async def execute_actions(page):
await page.evaluate('() => { document.title = "Hello World"; }')
return 1
yield PlaywrightRequest(url, callback=self.parse, actions=execute_actions)
Then you can get the actions result from response.meta['actions_result'], result is 1.
Also you can define proxy and proxy_credential for each Reqest, for example:
yield PlaywrightRequest(
self.base_url,
callback=self.parse_index,
priority=10,
proxy='http://tps254.kdlapi.com:15818',
proxy_credential={
'username': 'xxxx',
'password': 'xxxx'
})
proxy and proxy_credential will override the settings GERAPY_PLAYWRIGHT_PROXY and GERAPY_PLAYWRIGHT_PROXY_CREDENTIAL.
Example
For more detail, please see example.
Also you can directly run with Docker:
docker run germey/gerapy-playwright-example
