“ If it wasn't for Scrapy, my freelancing career, and then the scraping business would have never taken off. The Scrapy framework, and especially its documentation, simplifies crawling and scraping for anyone with basic Python skills. I don't know, now there is this emotive bond with Scrapy that I've developed over the years.”

Nishant Choudhary

Founder of DataFlirt.com

“ Scrapy: the gift that revolutionised web scraping and inspired me to pay it forward with Scrapoxy!"
"Scrapy is the central engine of all my projects, since its 1st release.”

Fabien Vauchelles

Creator of Scrapoxy

“ Scrapy stands out as an exceptional tool for seamlessly managing open requests, making large-scale data collection efficient and reliable."
"With its remarkable scraping speed, Scrapy transforms complex web extraction tasks into swift, streamlined operations that save time and maximise output.”

“ Scrapy is the cornerstone of web scraping with Python. Without it, scraping would be much harder."
"During my career, I've built thousands of scrapers, mostly with Scrapy. It made my life a lot easier.”

Pierluigi Vinciguerra

Co Founder and CTO at Databoutique.com

“ With over 6 years in web scraping, Scrapy has been my go-to framework for building fast, reliable, and scalable data pipelines."
"In my 6+ years of scraping experience, nothing has matched Scrapy’s balance of power, flexibility, and community support.”

Ganesh Satheendran

Turbolab Technologies

“ When Google Search enforced JavaScript, our scraper broke. Struggling to build a working alternative with Puppeteer on a short notice, we fired up Scrapy, Splash, and whipped up a script. Lo and behold – it worked! Our Google benchmark was buzzing again.”
