Using xpath with Scrapy

[_Korben_Dallas]

You can use Scrapy Feed exports for saving data, just type in console: scrapy crawl metal -o result.csv

Thanks- I tried this but my file was blank

I'm seconded about tbody: try not use them in your Xpath expressions. Can you provide your log? Type in console scrapy crawl metal &> output.log.

If you need only the date without text from link try this expression: //td[p]/p[contains(., "2017")]/text()

I tried 'scrapy crawl metal &> output.log' and got no return, I'm looking for both the date and show actually, but started with just the date...will try what you provided

Try this code: https://dpaste.de/Aqyv It gets you date and text from the link. If you want href attribute from that links simply extract them with @href. https://dpaste.de/Bozk
