.. _faq-blank-request:
How can I make a blank request?
-------------------------------
.. code-block:: python
from scrapy import Request
blank_request = Request("data:,")
In this case, the URL is set to a data URI scheme. Data URLs allow you to include data
in-line in web pages as if they were external resources. The "data:" scheme with an empty
content (",") essentially creates a request to a data URL without any specific content.
Running ``runspider`` I get ``error: No spider found in file: <filename>``
