Having trouble? We'd like to help!
|
|

|
Cover your bases
|
|
================
|
|
|
|
If you are experiencing issues while using Scrapy, or cannot install Scrapy at
|
|
all, make sure you have followed the installation steps described in the
|
|
:ref:`intro-install`, including :ref:`platform-specific steps
|
|
<intro-install-platform-notes>`. Also remember to check out its
|
|
:ref:`troubleshooting section <intro-install-troubleshooting>`.
|
|
|
|
If you have a question about Scrapy, try to get familiar with Scrapy first.
|
|
:ref:`section-first-steps` pages will help you get started quickly.
|
|
:ref:`section-basics` pages will solve most basic questions about Scrapy.
|
|
|
|
If you have questions beyond the basics, or you are experiencing issues while
|
|
using Scrapy, start by reading the :ref:`faq` page, which covers common
|
|
questions and issues.
|
|
|
|
If you are not sure how to solve a specific problem with Scrapy,
|
|
:ref:`section-solving-problems` pages cover solutions for common problems.
|
|
|
|
You can also search the documentation, or check the
|
|
:ref:`genindex` or the :ref:`modindex`.
|
|
|
|
|
|
Are you first?
|
|
==============
|
|
|
|
Whatever your question or issue, there is a chance someone else has been in
|
|
your shoes before. Search for similar topics in StackOverflow_, reddit_, the
|
|
old `mailing list`_ or the `issue tracker`_.
|
|
|
|
|
|
Ask away
|
|
========
|
|
|
|
If you cannot find an answer or a solution for your problem, you can try to get
|
|
help from the Scrapy community:
|
|
|
|
* If you think you have found a bug in Scrapy, please submit a bug report on
|
|
our `issue tracker`_.
|
|
|
|
* If you want to start a discussion related to Scrapy, and you are not
|
|
looking for a specific answer, use reddit_.
|
|
|
|
* If you think your problem may happen to someone else in the future, prepare
|
|
a `good question`_ and ask on StackOverflow_.
|
|
|
|
* Otherwise, you may ask for help on the `Scrapy Discord`_ server. Be ready
|
|
to wait for a bit, though; most people cannot watch the chat 24/7.
