Scrapy Selectors 选择器

《用Python写网络爬虫》——2.2 三种网页抓取方法  re / lxml / BeautifulSoup

需要注意的是，lxml在内部实现中，实际上是将CSS选择器转换为等价的XPath选择器。

从结果中可以看出，在抓取我们的示例网页时，Beautiful Soup比其他两种方法慢了超过6倍之多。实际上这一结果是符合预期的，因为lxml和正则表达式模块都是C语言编写的，而BeautifulSoup``则是纯Python编写的。一个有趣的事实是，lxml表现得和正则表达式差不多好。由于lxml在搜索元素之前，必须将输入解析为内部格式，因此会产生额外的开销。而当抓取同一网页的多个特征时，这种初始化解析产生的开销就会降低，lxml也就更具竞争力。这真是一个令人惊叹的模块！

2.Scrapy Selectors 选择器

https://doc.scrapy.org/en/latest/topics/selectors.html#topics-selectors

• BeautifulSoup缺点：慢
• lxml:基于 ElementTree
• Scrapy seletors: parsel library，构建于 lxml 库之上，这意味着它们在速度和解析准确性上非常相似。

.css() .xpath() 返回 SelectorList，即 a list of new selectors
.extract() .re() 提取 过滤 tag data

import scrapy

C:Program FilesAnaconda2Libsite-packagesscrapy\__init__.py

from scrapy.selector import Selector

C:Program FilesAnaconda2Libsite-packagesscrapyselector\__init__.py

from scrapy.selector.unified import *

C:Program FilesAnaconda2Libsite-packagesscrapyselectorunified.py

from parsel import Selector as _ParselSelector

class Selector(_ParselSelector, object_ref):

>>> from scrapy.selector import Selector
>>> from scrapy.http import HtmlResponse
如此导入 Selector，实例化 Selector 的时候第一个参数是 HtmlResponse 实例，如果要通过 str 实例化 Selector ，需要 sel = Selector(text=doc)

In [926]: from parsel import Selector

In [927]: Selector?
Init signature: Selector(self, text=None, type=None, namespaces=None, root=None, base_url=None, _expr=None)
Docstring:
:class:`Selector` allows you to select parts of an XML or HTML text using CSS
or XPath expressions and extract data from it.

``text`` is a ``unicode`` object in Python 2 or a ``str`` object in Python 3

``type`` defines the selector type, it can be ``"html"``, ``"xml"`` or ``None`` (default).
If ``type`` is ``None``, the selector defaults to ``"html"``.

sel = Selector(doc)

sel.css('div.quote')
[<Selector xpath=u"descendant-or-self::div[@class and contains(concat(' ', normalize-space(@class), ' '), ' quote ')]" data=u'<div class="quote" itemscope itemtype="h'>]

3.使用 scrapy shell 调试

3.1Xpath VS CSS

对比

	CSS	Xpath	备注
含有属性	response.css('div[class]')	response.xpath('//div[@class]')	css可以简写为 div.class 甚至 .class，div#abc 或 #abc 则对应于id=abc
匹配属性值	response.css('div[class="quote"]')	response.xpath('//div[@class="quote"]')	response.xpath('//small[text()="Albert Einstein"]')
匹配部分属性值	response.css('div[class*="quo"]')	response.xpath('//div[contains(@class,"quo")]')	response.xpath('//small[contains(text(),"Einstein")]')
提取属性值	response.css('small::attr(class)')	response.xpath('//small/@class')	css里面text排除在attr以外，所以不支持上面两个过滤text？？？
提取文字	response.css('small::text')	response.xpath('//small/text()')

使用

In [135]: response.xpath('//small[@class="author"]').extract_first()
In [122]: response.css('small.author').extract_first()
Out[122]: u'<small class="author" itemprop="author">Albert Einstein</small>'

In [136]: response.xpath('//small[@class="author"]/text()').extract_first()
In [123]: response.css('small.author::text').extract_first()
Out[123]: u'Albert Einstein'

In [137]: response.xpath('//small[@class="author"]/@class').extract_first()  #class也是属性
In [124]: response.css('small.author::attr(class)').extract_first()
Out[124]: u'author'

In [138]: response.xpath('//small[@class="author"]/@itemprop').extract_first()
In [125]: response.css('small.author::attr(itemprop)').extract_first()
Out[125]: u'author' 

class 是一个特殊属性，允许多值  class="row header-box"

# 匹配多值中的某一个值
In [228]: response.css('div.row')
Out[228]:
[<Selector xpath=u"descendant-or-self::div[@class and contains(concat(' ', normalize-space(@class), ' '), ' row ')]" data=u'<div class="row header-box">
           '>,
 <Selector xpath=u"descendant-or-self::div[@class and contains(concat(' ', normalize-space(@class), ' '), ' row ')]" data=u'<div class="row">
    <div class="col-md'>]

In [232]: response.css('div.ro')
Out[232]: []

# 整个class属性值，匹配全部字符串
In [226]: response.css('div[class="row"]')
Out[226]: [<Selector xpath=u"descendant-or-self::div[@class = 'row']" data=u'<div class="row">
    <div class="col-md'>]

　In [240]: response.xpath('//div[@class="row header-box"]')
　Out[240]: [<Selector xpath='//div[@class="row header-box"]' data=u'<div class="row header-box"> '>]

# 整个class属性值，匹配部分字符串
In [229]: response.css('div[class*="row"]')
Out[229]:
[<Selector xpath=u"descendant-or-self::div[@class and contains(@class, 'row')]" data=u'<div class="row header-box">
           '>,
 <Selector xpath=u"descendant-or-self::div[@class and contains(@class, 'row')]" data=u'<div class="row">
    <div class="col-md'>]

In [230]: response.xpath('//div[contains(@class,"row")]')
Out[230]:
[<Selector xpath='//div[contains(@class,"row")]' data=u'<div class="row header-box">
           '>,
 <Selector xpath='//div[contains(@class,"row")]' data=u'<div class="row">
    <div class="col-md'>]

In [234]: response.css('div[class*="w h"]')
Out[234]: [<Selector xpath=u"descendant-or-self::div[@class and contains(@class, 'w h')]" data=u'<div class="row header-box">
           '>]

In [235]: response.xpath('//div[contains(@class,"w h")]')
Out[235]: [<Selector xpath='//div[contains(@class,"w h")]' data=u'<div class="row header-box">
           '>]

3.2提取数据

• 提取data

　　selectorList / selector.extract()，extract_frist()

　　　　selector.extract() 返回一个str，selector.extract_first() 报错

　　　　selectorList.extract() 对每一个selector执行selector.extract，返回 list of str，selectorList.extract_frist() 取前面list的第一个。

• 提取data同时过滤

　　selectorList / selector.re(r'xxx')，re_frist(r'xxx')

　　　　selector.re() 返回 list，selector.re_first() 取第一个str

　　　　selectorList.re() 对每一个selector执行selector.re，每个list结果（注意并非每个selector都会match）合并为一个list，selectorList.re_first()取前面合并list的第一个str。。。

使用 extract

In [21]: response.css('.author')  #内部转为 xpath，返回 SelectorList 实例
Out[21]:
[<Selector xpath=u"descendant-or-self::*[@class and contains(concat(' ', normalize-space(@class), ' '), ' author ')]" data=u'<small class="author" itemprop="author">'>,
 <Selector xpath=u"descendant-or-self::*[@class and contains(concat(' ', normalize-space(@class), ' '), ' author ')]" data=u'<small class="author" itemprop="author">'>,
 <Selector xpath=u"descendant-or-self::*[@class and contains(concat(' ', normalize-space(@class), ' '), ' author ')]" data=u'<small class="author" itemprop="author">'>,
 <Selector xpath=u"descendant-or-self::*[@class and contains(concat(' ', normalize-space(@class), ' '), ' author ')]" data=u'<small class="author" itemprop="author">'>,
 <Selector xpath=u"descendant-or-self::*[@class and contains(concat(' ', normalize-space(@class), ' '), ' author ')]" data=u'<small class="author" itemprop="author">'>,
 <Selector xpath=u"descendant-or-self::*[@class and contains(concat(' ', normalize-space(@class), ' '), ' author ')]" data=u'<small class="author" itemprop="author">'>,
 <Selector xpath=u"descendant-or-self::*[@class and contains(concat(' ', normalize-space(@class), ' '), ' author ')]" data=u'<small class="author" itemprop="author">'>,
 <Selector xpath=u"descendant-or-self::*[@class and contains(concat(' ', normalize-space(@class), ' '), ' author ')]" data=u'<small class="author" itemprop="author">'>,
 <Selector xpath=u"descendant-or-self::*[@class and contains(concat(' ', normalize-space(@class), ' '), ' author ')]" data=u'<small class="author" itemprop="author">'>,
 <Selector xpath=u"descendant-or-self::*[@class and contains(concat(' ', normalize-space(@class), ' '), ' author ')]" data=u'<small class="author" itemprop="author">'>]

In [22]: response.css('.author').extract()  #提取上面的 data 部分，对 SelectorList 中的每个 Selector 执行 extract()，
Out[22]:
[u'<small class="author" itemprop="author">Albert Einstein</small>',
 u'<small class="author" itemprop="author">J.K. Rowling</small>',
 u'<small class="author" itemprop="author">Albert Einstein</small>',
 u'<small class="author" itemprop="author">Jane Austen</small>',
 u'<small class="author" itemprop="author">Marilyn Monroe</small>',
 u'<small class="author" itemprop="author">Albert Einstein</small>',
 u'<small class="author" itemprop="author">Andrxe9 Gide</small>',
 u'<small class="author" itemprop="author">Thomas A. Edison</small>',
 u'<small class="author" itemprop="author">Eleanor Roosevelt</small>',
 u'<small class="author" itemprop="author">Steve Martin</small>']

In [23]: response.css('.author').extract_first()  #只取第一个，可能返回 None ,可能报错 response.css('.author')[0].extract()
Out[23]: u'<small class="author" itemprop="author">Albert Einstein</small>'

In [24]: response.css('.author::text').extract_first()  #定位到 tag 内部的 text
Out[24]: u'Albert Einstein'

使用 re

In [46]: response.css('.author::text')[0]
Out[46]: <Selector xpath=u"descendant-or-self::*[@class and contains(concat(' ', normalize-space(@class), ' '), ' author ')]/text()" data=u'Albert Einstein'>

In [47]: response.css('.author::text')[0].re(r'w+')
Out[47]: [u'Albert', u'Einstein']

In [48]: response.css('.author::text')[0].re_first(r'w+')
Out[48]: u'Albert'

In [49]: response.css('.author::text')[0].re(r'((w+)s(w+))')  #按照左边括号顺序输出
Out[49]: [u'Albert Einstein', u'Albert', u'Einstein']
