This episode is essentially about how Scrapy structures crawling logic through different spider types, and when to use each one depending on the scale and structure of the target site.Here’s the clean, structured breakdown:🕷️ Scrapy Spiders — Architecture & Types1. What a Spider Actually IsA Scrapy spider is a Python class that defines:Where to crawl (scoping)How to crawl (link following rules)What to extract (parsing logic)So every spider always answers three questions:Where do I start? →
