可以使用API从脚本运行Scrapy，而不是运行Scrapy的典型方法scrapy crawl；Scrapy是基于Twisted异步网络库构建的，因此需要在Twisted容器内运行它，可以通过两个API来运行单个或多个爬虫scrapy.crawler.CrawlerProcess、scrapy.crawler.CrawlerRunner。
启动爬虫的的第一个实用程序是scrapy.crawler.CrawlerProcess 。该类将为您启动Twisted reactor，配置日志记录并设置关闭处理程序，此类是所有Scrapy命令使用的类。
示例运行单个爬虫。
import scrapy
from scrapy.crawler import CrawlerProcess
class MySpider(scrapy.Spider):
# Your spider definition
...
process = CrawlerProcess({
'USER_AGENT': 'Mozilla/4.0 (compatible; MSIE 7.0; Windows NT 5.1)'
})
process.crawl(MySpider)
process.start() # the script will block here until the crawling is finished
通过CrawlerProcess传入参数，并使用get_project_settings获取Settings 项目设置的实例。
from scrapy.crawler import CrawlerProcess
from scrapy.utils.project import get_project_settings
process = CrawlerProcess(get_project_settings())
# 'followall' is the name of one of the spiders of the project.
process.crawl('followall', domain='scrapinghub.com')
process.start() # the script will block here until the crawling is finished
还有另一个Scrapy实例方式可以更好地控制爬虫运行过程：scrapy.crawler.CrawlerRunner。此类封装了一些简单的帮助程序来运行多个爬虫程序，但它不会以任何方式启动或干扰现有的爬虫。
使用此类，显式运行reactor。如果已有爬虫在运行想在同一个进程中开启另一个Scrapy，建议您使用CrawlerRunner 而不是CrawlerProcess。
注意，爬虫结束后需要手动关闭Twisted reactor，通过向CrawlerRunner.crawl方法返回的延迟添加回调来实现。
下面是它的用法示例，在MySpider完成运行后手动停止容器的回调。
from twisted.internet import reactor
import scrapy
from scrapy.crawler import CrawlerRunner
from scrapy.utils.log import configure_logging
class MySpider(scrapy.Spider):
# Your spider definition
...
configure_logging({'LOG_FORMAT': '%(levelname)s: %(message)s'})
runner = CrawlerRunner()
d = runner.crawl(MySpider)
d.addBoth(lambda _: reactor.stop())
reactor.run() # the script will block here until the crawling is finished
在同一个进程中运行多个蜘蛛
默认情况下，Scrapy在您运行时为每个进程运行一个蜘蛛。但是，Scrapy支持使用内部API为每个进程运行多个蜘蛛。
这是一个同时运行多个蜘蛛的示例：
import scrapy
from scrapy.crawler import CrawlerProcess
class MySpider1(scrapy.Spider):
# Your first spider definition
...
class MySpider2(scrapy.Spider):
# Your second spider definition
...
process = CrawlerProcess()
process.crawl(MySpider1)
process.crawl(MySpider2)
process.start() # the script will block here until all crawling jobs are finished
使用CrawlerRunner示例：
import scrapy
from twisted.internet import reactor
from scrapy.crawler import CrawlerRunner
from scrapy.utils.log import configure_logging
class MySpider1(scrapy.Spider):
# Your first spider definition
...
class MySpider2(scrapy.Spider):
# Your second spider definition
...
configure_logging()
runner = CrawlerRunner()
runner.crawl(MySpider1)
runner.crawl(MySpider2)
d = runner.join()
d.addBoth(lambda _: reactor.stop())
reactor.run() # the script will block here until all crawling jobs are finished
相同的示例，但通过异步运行爬虫蛛：
from twisted.internet import reactor, defer
from scrapy.crawler import CrawlerRunner
from scrapy.utils.log import configure_logging
class MySpider1(scrapy.Spider):
# Your first spider definition
...
class MySpider2(scrapy.Spider):
# Your second spider definition
...
configure_logging()
runner = CrawlerRunner()
@defer.inlineCallbacks
def crawl():
yield runner.crawl(MySpider1)
yield runner.crawl(MySpider2)
reactor.stop()
crawl()
reactor.run() # the script will block here until the last crawl call is finished
