python使用scrapy发送post请求的坑

使用requests发送post请求

先来看看使用requests来发送post请求是多少好用，发送请求

Requests 简便的 API 意味着所有 HTTP 请求类型都是显而易见的。例如，你可以这样发送一个 HTTP POST 请求：

>>>r = requests.post('http://httpbin.org/post', data = {'key':'value'})

使用data可以传递字典作为参数，同时也可以传递元祖

>>>payload = (('key1', 'value1'), ('key1', 'value2'))
>>>r = requests.post('http://httpbin.org/post', data=payload)
>>>print(r.text)
{
 ...
 "form": {
  "key1": [
   "value1",
   "value2"
  ]
 },
 ...
}

传递json是这样

>>>import json

>>>url = 'https://api.github.com/some/endpoint'
>>>payload = {'some': 'data'}

>>>r = requests.post(url, data=json.dumps(payload))

2.4.2 版的新加功能：

>>>url = 'https://api.github.com/some/endpoint'
>>>payload = {'some': 'data'}

>>>r = requests.post(url, json=payload)

也就是说，你不需要对参数做什么变化，只需要关注使用data=还是json=，其余的requests都已经帮你做好了。

使用scrapy发送post请求

通过源码可知scrapy默认发送的get请求，当我们需要发送携带参数的请求或登录时，是需要post、请求的，以下面为例

from scrapy.spider import CrawlSpider
from scrapy.selector import Selector
import scrapy
import json
class LaGou(CrawlSpider):
  name = 'myspider'
  def start_requests(self):
    yield scrapy.FormRequest(
      url='https://www.******.com/jobs/positionAjax.json?city=%E5%B9%BF%E5%B7%9E&needAddtionalResult=false',
      formdata={
        'first': 'true',#这里不能给bool类型的True，requests模块中可以
        'pn': '1',#这里不能给int类型的1，requests模块中可以
        'kd': 'python'
      },这里的formdata相当于requ模块中的data，key和value只能是键值对形式
      callback=self.parse
    )
  def parse(self, response):
    datas=json.loads(response.body.decode())['content']['positionResult']['result']
    for data in datas:
      print(data['companyFullName'] + str(data['positionId']))

官方推荐的 Using FormRequest to send data via HTTP POST

return [FormRequest(url="http://www.example.com/post/action",
          formdata={'name': 'John Doe', 'age': '27'},
          callback=self.after_post)]

这里使用的是FormRequest，并使用formdata传递参数，看到这里也是一个字典。

但是，超级坑的一点来了，今天折腾了一下午，使用这种方法发送请求，怎么发都会出问题，返回的数据一直都不是我想要的

return scrapy.FormRequest(url, formdata=(payload))

在网上找了很久，最终找到一种方法，使用scrapy.Request发送请求，就可以正常的获取数据。

代码如下：

return scrapy.Request(url, body=json.dumps(payload), method='POST', headers={'Content-Type': 'application/json'},)

参考：Send Post Request in Scrapy

my_data = {'field1': 'value1', 'field2': 'value2'}
request = scrapy.Request( url, method='POST', 
             body=json.dumps(my_data), 
             headers={'Content-Type':'application/json'} )

FormRequest 与 Request 区别

在文档中，几乎看不到差别，

The FormRequest class adds a new argument to the constructor. The remaining arguments are the same as for the Request class and are not documented here.
Parameters: formdata (dict or iterable of tuples) C is a dictionary (or iterable of (key, value) tuples) containing HTML Form data which will be url-encoded and assigned to the body of the request.

说FormRequest新增加了一个参数formdata，接受包含表单数据的字典或者可迭代的元组，并将其转化为请求的body。并且FormRequest是继承Request的

class FormRequest(Request):

  def __init__(self, *args, **kwargs):
    formdata = kwargs.pop('formdata', None)
    if formdata and kwargs.get('method') is None:
      kwargs['method'] = 'POST'

    super(FormRequest, self).__init__(*args, **kwargs)

    if formdata:
      items = formdata.items() if isinstance(formdata, dict) else formdata
      querystr = _urlencode(items, self.encoding)
      if self.method == 'POST':
        self.headers.setdefault(b'Content-Type', b'application/x-www-form-urlencoded')
        self._set_body(querystr)
      else:
        self._set_url(self.url + ('&' if '?' in self.url else '?') + querystr)
      ###


def _urlencode(seq, enc):
  values = [(to_bytes(k, enc), to_bytes(v, enc))
       for k, vs in seq
       for v in (vs if is_listlike(vs) else [vs])]
  return urlencode(values, doseq=1)

最终我们传递的{‘key': ‘value', ‘k': ‘v'}会被转化为'key=value&k=v' 并且默认的method是POST，再来看看Request

class Request(object_ref):

  def __init__(self, url, callback=None, method='GET', headers=None, body=None,
         cookies=None, meta=None, encoding='utf-8', priority=0,
         dont_filter=False, errback=None, flags=None):

    self._encoding = encoding # this one has to be set first
    self.method = str(method).upper()

默认的方法是GET，其实并不影响。仍然可以发送post请求。这让我想起来requests中的request用法，这是定义请求的基础方法。

def request(method, url, **kwargs):
  """Constructs and sends a :class:`Request <Request>`.

    defining the content type of the given file and ``custom_headers`` a dict-like object containing additional headers

  :param auth: (optional) Auth tuple to enable Basic/Digest/Custom HTTP Auth.

  :type allow_redirects: bool
  :param proxies: (optional) Dictionary mapping protocol to the URL of the proxy.
  :param verify: (optional) Either a boolean, in which case it controls whether we verify
