Settings

The Scrapy settings allows you to customize the behaviour of all Scrapy components, including the core, extensions, pipelines and spiders themselves.

The infrastructure of the settings provides a global namespace of key-value mappings that the code can use to pull configuration values from. The settings can be populated through different mechanisms, which are described below.

The settings are also the mechanism for selecting the currently active Scrapy project (in case you have many).

For a list of available built-in settings see: :ref:`topics-settings-ref`.

System Message: ERROR/3 (<stdin>, line 17); backlink

Unknown interpreted text role "ref".

Designating the settings

When you use Scrapy, you have to tell it which settings you're using. You can do this by using an environment variable, SCRAPY_SETTINGS_MODULE.

The value of SCRAPY_SETTINGS_MODULE should be in Python path syntax, e.g. myproject.settings. Note that the settings module should be on the Python import search path.

Populating the settings

Settings can be populated using different mechanisms, each of which having a different precedence. Here is the list of them in decreasing order of precedence:

Command line options (most precedence)

Settings per-spider

Project settings module

Default settings per-command

Default global settings (less precedence)

The population of these settings sources is taken care of internally, but a manual handling is possible using API calls. See the :ref:`topics-api-settings` topic for reference.

System Message: ERROR/3 (<stdin>, line 46); backlink

Unknown interpreted text role "ref".

These mechanisms are described in more detail below.

1. Command line options

Arguments provided by the command line are the ones that take most precedence, overriding any other options. You can explicitly override one (or more) settings using the -s (or --set) command line option.

System Message: ERROR/3 (<stdin>, line 59)

Unknown directive type "highlight".

.. highlight:: sh

Example:

scrapy crawl myspider -s LOG_FILE=scrapy.log

2. Settings per-spider

Spiders (See the :ref:`topics-spiders` chapter for reference) can define their own settings that will take precedence and override the project ones. They can do so by setting their :attr:`~scrapy.spiders.Spider.custom_settings` attribute:

System Message: ERROR/3 (<stdin>, line 68); backlink

Unknown interpreted text role "ref".

System Message: ERROR/3 (<stdin>, line 68); backlink

Unknown interpreted text role "attr".

class MySpider(scrapy.Spider):
    name = 'myspider'

    custom_settings = {
        'SOME_SETTING': 'some value',
    }

3. Project settings module

The project settings module is the standard configuration file for your Scrapy project, it's where most of your custom settings will be populated. For a standard Scrapy project, this means you'll be adding or changing the settings in the settings.py file created for your project.

4. Default settings per-command

Each :doc:`Scrapy tool </topics/commands>` command can have its own default settings, which override the global default settings. Those custom command settings are specified in the default_settings attribute of the command class.

System Message: ERROR/3 (<stdin>, line 90); backlink

Unknown interpreted text role "doc".

5. Default global settings

The global defaults are located in the scrapy.settings.default_settings module and documented in the :ref:`topics-settings-ref` section.

System Message: ERROR/3 (<stdin>, line 98); backlink

Unknown interpreted text role "ref".

How to access settings

System Message: ERROR/3 (<stdin>, line 104)

Unknown directive type "highlight".

.. highlight:: python

In a spider, the settings are available through self.settings:

class MySpider(scrapy.Spider):
    name = 'myspider'
    start_urls = ['http://example.com']

    def parse(self, response):
        print("Existing settings: %s" % self.settings.attributes.keys())

Note

The settings attribute is set in the base Spider class after the spider is initialized. If you want to use the settings before the initialization (e.g., in your spider's __init__() method), you'll need to override the :meth:`~scrapy.spiders.Spider.from_crawler` method.

System Message: ERROR/3 (<stdin>, line 116); backlink

Unknown interpreted text role "meth".

Settings can be accessed through the :attr:`scrapy.crawler.Crawler.settings` attribute of the Crawler that is passed to from_crawler method in extensions, middlewares and item pipelines:

System Message: ERROR/3 (<stdin>, line 121); backlink

Unknown interpreted text role "attr".

class MyExtension(object):
    def __init__(self, log_is_enabled=False):
        if log_is_enabled:
            print("log is enabled!")

    @classmethod
    def from_crawler(cls, crawler):
        settings = crawler.settings
        return cls(settings.getbool('LOG_ENABLED'))

The settings object can be used like a dict (e.g., settings['LOG_ENABLED']), but it's usually preferred to extract the setting in the format you need it to avoid type errors, using one of the methods provided by the :class:`~scrapy.settings.Settings` API.

System Message: ERROR/3 (<stdin>, line 135); backlink

Unknown interpreted text role "class".

Rationale for setting names

Setting names are usually prefixed with the component that they configure. For example, proper setting names for a fictional robots.txt extension would be ROBOTSTXT_ENABLED, ROBOTSTXT_OBEY, ROBOTSTXT_CACHEDIR, etc.

Built-in settings reference

Here's a list of all available Scrapy settings, in alphabetical order, along with their default values and the scope where they apply.

The scope, where available, shows where the setting is being used, if it's tied to any particular component. In that case the module of that component will be shown, typically an extension, middleware or pipeline. It also means that the component must be enabled in order for the setting to have any effect.

The maximum depth that will be allowed to crawl for any site. If zero, no limit will be imposed.

System Message: ERROR/3 (<stdin>, line 325)

Unknown directive type "setting".

.. setting:: DEPTH_PRIORITY

DEPTH_PRIORITY

Default: 0

Scope: scrapy.spidermiddlewares.depth.DepthMiddleware

An integer that is used to adjust the request priority based on its depth:

if zero (default), no priority adjustment is made from depth
a positive value will decrease the priority, i.e. higher depth requests will be processed later ; this is commonly used when doing breadth-first crawls (BFO)
a negative value will increase priority, i.e., higher depth requests will be processed sooner (DFO)

.. setting:: DOWNLOADER

DOWNLOADER

Default: 'scrapy.core.downloader.Downloader'

The downloader to use for crawling.

System Message: ERROR/3 (<stdin>, line 399)

Unknown directive type "setting".

.. setting:: DOWNLOADER_HTTPCLIENTFACTORY

DOWNLOADER_HTTPCLIENTFACTORY

Default: 'scrapy.core.downloader.webclient.ScrapyHTTPClientFactory'

Defines a Twisted protocol.ClientFactory class to use for HTTP/1.0 connections (for HTTP10DownloadHandler).

Note

HTTP/1.0 is rarely used nowadays so you can safely ignore this setting, unless you use Twisted<11.1, or if you really want to use HTTP/1.0 and override :setting:`DOWNLOAD_HANDLERS_BASE` for http(s) scheme accordingly, i.e. to 'scrapy.core.downloader.handlers.http.HTTP10DownloadHandler'.

.. setting:: DOWNLOADER_CLIENTCONTEXTFACTORY

DOWNLOADER_CLIENTCONTEXTFACTORY

Default: 'scrapy.core.downloader.contextfactory.ScrapyClientContextFactory'

Represents the classpath to the ContextFactory to use.

Here, "ContextFactory" is a Twisted term for SSL/TLS contexts, defining the TLS/SSL protocol version to use, whether to do certificate verification, or even enable client-side authentication (and various other things).

Note

Scrapy default context factory does NOT perform remote server certificate verification. This is usually fine for web scraping.

If you do need remote server certificate verification enabled, Scrapy also has another context factory class that you can set, 'scrapy.core.downloader.contextfactory.BrowserLikeContextFactory', which uses the platform's certificates to validate remote endpoints. This is only available if you use Twisted>=14.0.

If you do use a custom ContextFactory, make sure it accepts a method parameter at init (this is the OpenSSL.SSL method mapping :setting:`DOWNLOADER_CLIENT_TLS_METHOD`).

.. setting:: DOWNLOADER_CLIENT_TLS_METHOD

DOWNLOADER_CLIENT_TLS_METHOD

Default: 'TLS'

Use this setting to customize the TLS/SSL method used by the default HTTP/1.1 downloader.

This setting must be one of these string values:

'TLS': maps to OpenSSL's TLS_method() (a.k.a SSLv23_method()), which allows protocol negotiation, starting from the highest supported by the platform; default, recommended
'TLSv1.0': this value forces HTTPS connections to use TLS version 1.0 ; set this if you want the behavior of Scrapy<1.1
'TLSv1.1': forces TLS version 1.1
'TLSv1.2': forces TLS version 1.2
'SSLv3': forces SSL version 3 (not recommended)

Note

We recommend that you use PyOpenSSL>=0.13 and Twisted>=0.13 or above (Twisted>=14.0 if you can).

DOWNLOAD_DELAY

Default: 0

The amount of time (in secs) that the downloader should wait before downloading consecutive pages from the same website. This can be used to throttle the crawling speed to avoid hitting servers too hard. Decimal numbers are supported. Example:

DOWNLOAD_DELAY = 0.25    # 250 ms of delay

This setting is also affected by the :setting:`RANDOMIZE_DOWNLOAD_DELAY` setting (which is enabled by default). By default, Scrapy doesn't wait a fixed amount of time between requests, but uses a random interval between 0.5 * :setting:`DOWNLOAD_DELAY` and 1.5 * :setting:`DOWNLOAD_DELAY`.

Default: True

Whether or not to fail on broken responses, that is, declared Content-Length does not match content sent by the server or chunked response was not properly finish. If True, these responses raise a ResponseFailed([_DataLoss]) error. If False, these responses are passed through and the flag dataloss is added to the response, i.e.: 'dataloss' in response.flags is True.

.. setting:: DUPEFILTER_CLASS

DUPEFILTER_CLASS

Default: 'scrapy.dupefilters.RFPDupeFilter'

The class used to detect and filter duplicate requests.

The default (RFPDupeFilter) filters based on request fingerprint using the scrapy.utils.request.request_fingerprint function. In order to change the way duplicates are checked you could subclass RFPDupeFilter and override its request_fingerprint method. This method should accept scrapy :class:`~scrapy.http.Request` object and return its fingerprint (a string).
