plain Python dicts with Scrapy, Items provide additional protection against populating undeclared fields, preventing typos. They can also be used with Item Loaders, a mechanism with helpers to conveniently obtained from dmoz.org. As we want to capture the name, url and description of the sites, we define fields for each of these three attributes. To do that, we edit items.py, found in the tutorial directory crawl dmoz Using our item Item objects are custom Python dicts; you can access the values of their fields (attributes of the class we defined earlier) using the standard dict syntax like: >>> item = DmozItem()

want to perform more complex things with the scraped items, you can write an Item Pipeline. A placeholder file for Item Pipelines has been set up for you when the project is created, in tutorial/pipelines mark). headers A list of the rows contained in the file CSV feed which will be used to extract fields from it. parse_row(response, row) Receives a response and a dict (representing each row) with a available fields. Various Scrapy components use extra information provided by Items: exporters look at declared fields to figure out columns to export, serialization can be customized using Item fields metadata
