:synopsis: Item Exporters
Once you have scraped your Items, you probably will want to use the data in some
external application. For this purpose Scrapy provides simple Item Exporters
that allow you to export your scraped Items in different formats.
Once you have scraped your Items, one of the most common tasks to perform on
those items is to export them, to use the data in some other application. That
is, after all, the whole purpose of the scraping process.
To help in this purpose Scrapy provides a collectioon of Item Exporters for
different output formats, such as XML, CSV or JSON.
Using Item Exporters
====================
In order to use a Item Exporter, you must instantiate it with its required args
(different exporters require different args in order to work, look at the
reference of the specific Item Exporter in :ref:`topics-exporters-reference` )
then call the :meth:`~BaseItemExporter.export` method with the item to export as
its argument.
In order to use a Item Exporter, you must instantiate it with its required
args. Different exporters require different args, so check each exporter
documentation to be sure, in :ref:`topics-exporters-reference`. After you have
instantiated you exporter, you have to call the
:meth:`~BaseItemExporter.export` method with each item you want to export.
Here you can see a typical Item Exporter usage in a :ref:`Item Pipeline

Field serialization
===================
Serialization of item fields
============================
By default each field is serialized to its string representation using the
:meth:`~BaseItemExporter._default_serializer` method.
By default the field values are passed unmodified to the underlying
serialization library, and the decision of how to serialize them is delegated
to each particular serialization library.
You can customize how a field will be serialized in two ways:
However, you can customize how each field value is serialized, prior to passing
it to the serialization library, if the exporter supports it.
1. Providing a ``serialize_(field-name)`` method in your custom Item Exporter.
2. Implementing a ``serializer`` method in a custom Field of your Item.
There are ways to customize how a field will be serialized, which are described
next.
.. note:: This is the order of precedence, so if you provide both, the custom
serialize_(field-name) method in the Item Exporter will be used.
1. Declaring a serializer in the field
--------------------------------------
In any case, your method must accept the same parameters as the
:meth:`~BaseItemExporter._default_serializer` method and return the serialized
version of the field in a string format.
You can declare a serializer in the :ref:`field metadata
<topics-newitems-fields>`. The serializer must be a callable which receives a
value and returns its serialized form.
Let's see some examples on using the methods described above:
1. Providing a ``serialize_price`` method::
from scrapy.contrib.exporter.jsonexporter import JSONItemExporter
class ProductJSONExporter(JSONItemExporter):
def serialize_price(self, field, name, value):
return '$ %s' % str(value)
2. Using a custom ``PriceField``::
Example::
from scrapy.newitem import Item, Field
class PriceField(Field):
def serializer(self, field, name, value):
return '$ %s' % str(value)
def serialize_price(value):
return '$ %s' % str(value)
class Product(Item):
name = Field()
price = PriceField()
stock = Field(default=0)
last_updated = Field()
price = Field(serializer=serialize_price)
2. Overriding the serialize() method
------------------------------------
You can also override the :meth:`~BaseItemExporter.serialize` method to
customize how your field value will be exported.
Make sure you call the base class :meth:`~BaseItemExporter.serialize` method
after your custom code.
Example::
from scrapy.contrib.exporter import XmlItemExporter
class ProductXmlExporter(XmlItemExporter):
def serialize(self, field, name, value):
if filed == 'price':
return '$ %s' % str(value)
return super(Product, self).serialize(field, name, value)
.. _topics-exporters-reference:
Available Item Exporters
========================
Built-in Item Exporters reference
=================================
For the examples shown in the following exporters we always assume we export
these two items::
Item(name='Color TV', price='1200')
Item(name='DVD player', price='200')
BaseItemExporter
----------------
.. class:: BaseItemExporter
This is the base class for all Item Exporters.
This is the base class for all Item Exporters, and it's an abstract class.
.. method:: export(item)
Exports the item to the specific exporter format. Descendant classes must
override this method.
Exports the item to the specific exporter format. This method must be
implemented in subclasses.
.. method:: _default_serializer(field, name, value)
.. method:: serialize_default(field, name, value)
Serializes the field, the base implementation returns it string
representation. You can override this in custom Item Exporters.
Serializes the field value to ``str``. You can override this method in
custom Item Exporters.
.. method:: close()
PprintItemExporter
------------------
Called when there are no more items to export, so the exporter can close
the serialization, for those formats that require it (like XML).
.. class:: PprintItemExporter(file)
.. attribute:: fields_to_export
Exports Items in preety print format to the specified file object.
A list with the name of the fields that will be exported, or None if you
want to export all fields. Defaults to None.
Some exporters (like :class:`CsvItemExporter`) respect the order of the
fields defined in this attribute.
.. class:: PickleItemExporter(\*args, \**kwargs)
.. attribute:: export_empty_elements
Exports Items in pickle format. The arguments in the constructor will be used
to construct a ``cPickle.Pickler`` object.
Whether to include empty elements in the exported XML (in case of
empty/missing fields). Defaults to ``False``.
.. highlight:: none
XmlItemExporter
---------------
.. class:: XmlItemExporter(file)
Exports Items in XML format to the specified file object. You must also set
the :attr:`fields_to_export` attribute to use it.
The default output of this exporter would be::
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="iso-8859-1"?>
<items>
<item>
<name>Color TV</name>
<price>1200</price>
</item>
<item>
<name>DVD player</name>
<price>200</price>
</item>
</items>
.. attribute:: root_element
The name of root element in the exported XML. Defaults to ``'items'``.
.. attribute:: item_element
The name of each item element in the exported XML. Defaults to ``'item'``.
CsvItemExporter
---------------
.. class:: CsvItemExporter(\*args, \**kwargs)
Exports Items in CSV format. The arguments in the constructor will be used to
construct a ``csv.writer`` object. You must also set its
:attr:`~CsvItemExporter.fields_to_export` attribute to use it.
Exports Items in CSV format. The constructor arguments will be passed to the
`csv.writer`_ constructor. This exporter respects the order of fields in the
:attr:`BaseItemExporter.fields_to_export` attribute.
.. attribute:: fields_to_export
The default output of this exporter would be::
Iterable containing the Item Field names to be exported.
Color TV,1200
DVD player,200
.. attribute:: include_headers_line
If ``True`` the first line in the CSV export will include the name of the
fields columns, taken from the :attr:`BaseItemExporter.fields_to_export`
attribute. Defaults to ``False``.
XmlItemExporter
---------------
.. _csv.writer: http://docs.python.org/library/csv.html#csv.writer
.. class:: XmlItemExporter(\*args, \**kwargs)
PickleItemExporter
------------------
Exports Items in XML format to the specified file object. You must also set its
:attr:`~XmlItemExporter.fields_to_export` attribute to use it.
.. class:: PickleItemExporter(\*args, \**kwargs)
.. attribute:: root_element
Exports Items in pickle format. The constructor arguments will be passed to
the `Pickler`_ constructor. This is a binary format, so no output examples
are provided.
The name of the root element in the exported file. It defaults to
``items``.
.. _Pickler: http://docs.python.org/library/pickle.html#pickle.Pickler
.. attribute:: item_element
PprintItemExporter
------------------
The name of each item element in the exported file. It defaults to
``item``.
.. class:: PprintItemExporter(file)
.. attribute:: include_empty_elements
Exports Items in pretty print format to the specified file object.
Whether to include or not empty elements in the exported file. It defaults to
``False``.
The default output of this exporter would be::
.. attribute:: fields_to_export
{'name': 'Color TV', 'price': '1200'}
{'name': 'DVD player', 'price': '200'}
Iterable containing the Item Field names to be exported.
Longer lines would get pretty-formatted.
JsonLinesItemExporter
---------------------
JSONItemExporter
----------------
.. module:: scrapy.contrib.exporter.jsonlines
:synopsis: JsonLines Item Exporter
.. class:: scrapy.contrib.exporter.jsonexporter.JsonItemExporter(file)
.. class:: JsonLinesItemExporter(file, \*args, \**kwargs)
Exports Items in JSON format to the specified file object.
Exports Items in JSON format to the specified file object, writing one
serialized item per line. The additional constructor arguments are passed to
the `JSONEncoder` constructor.
The default output of this exporter would be::
{"name": "Color TV", "price": "1200"}
{"name": "DVD player", "price": "200"}
.. _JSONEncoder: http://docs.python.org/library/json.html#json.JSONEncoder
