- Create a project:
`scrapy startproject {{project_name}}`
- Create a spider (in project directory):
`scrapy genspider {{spider_name}} {{website_domain}}`
- Edit spider (in project directory):
`scrapy edit {{spider_name}}`
- Run spider (in project directory):
`scrapy crawl {{spider_name}}`
- Fetch a webpage as scrapy sees it and print source in stdout:
`scrapy fetch {{url}}`
- Open a webpage in the default browser as scrapy sees it (disable javascript for extra fidelity):
`scrapy view {{url}}`
- Open scrapy shell for url, which allows interaction with the page source in python shell (or ipython if available):
`scrapy shell {{url}}`
