# Scraping Etsy

This project was built using [Scrapy](https://scrapy.org/) (Scraping and Web Crawling Framework).

It contains a set of Spiders to gather product's data from [Etsy Website](https://www.etsy.com).

## Prerequisites

To run the Spiders, download Python 3 from [Python.org](https://www.python.org/). 
After install, you need to install some Python packages:
```
pip install -r requirements.txt

```
## Usage

### Spider: search_products.py

This Spider access the Etsy website and search for products based on a given search string.

Supported parameters:
* *search* - set the search string
* *count_max* - limit the number of items/products to be scraped
* *reviews_option* - set the method to get the product's reviews

For example, to search for '3d printed' products go to the project's folder and run:
```
scrapy crawl search_products -a search='3d printed' 
```
To save the results, use -o parameter:
```
scrapy crawl search_products -a search='3d printed' -o products.csv
```
The Spider will create a CSV and Excel files.

To limit the number of products scraped, use the *count_max* parameter:
```
scrapy crawl search_products -a search='3d printed' -a count_max=10 -o products.csv
```

The *product reviews* data can be obtained in three ways:
* 1 - Spider will get only the reviews in the product's page, that is, 4 reviews. This is the default and fastest option for scraping.
* 2 - Spider will produce an Ajax request to get all reviews in the product's page (simulate the click in the *+More* button to load more reviews). In this option, the Spider will usually get 10 reviews.
* 3 - Spider will visit the page with all store reviews (click in the *Read All Reviews* button) and get all the reviews for this specific product. As the Spider will visit several pages to get the reviews, this is the slower scraping option and there is a chance to get temporarily blocked by Etsy because of the high number of requests.

To choose the option to scraping the reviews use the *-a reviews_option* parameter:
```
scrapy crawl search_products -a search='3d printed' -a reviews_option=3 -o products.csv
```

## Scraping speed

You can change the number of concurrent requests performed by Scrapy in the *setting.py* file.
```
CONCURRENT_REQUESTS = 10
```
Change this if you want to decrease the number of requests to avoid get blocking by Etsy.

If you only need the products URLS, the scraping can be faster, just use the `urls_only` flag:

```
scrapy crawl search_products -a search='xbox controller elite' -o products.csv -a urls_only=true
```
