Scrapy Shell Response 204

i try to parse a specific website : www.bina.az/items/all. And i want to test it before building fully functional spider. So i type scrapy shell bina.az/items/all in terminal and i get this :enter image description here

The reason of this is Cloudfare protection. I know how to bypass cloudfare in scrapy project, but i need to use scrapy shell also.How can i solve this issue ?

You could run scrapy shell from your project.

Suppose that you have the following project:

cloudfare-spider
    env
    scrapy.cfg
    cloudfare-spider
         __init__.py
         items.py
         middlewares.py
         pipelines.py
         __pycache__
         settings.py
         __init__.py

First go to your project:

cd cloudfare-project

If you don't have virtual env, create one:

virtualenv env

Then activate the virtual env:

source env/bin/activate

Then, in your virtual environment you should install:

pip install scrapy scrapy_cloudflare_middleware

Then try to run scrapy shell:

>> scrapy shell "https://bina.az/items/all"

If there is an error when you run scrapy shell try:

deactivate
source env/bin/activate
scrapy shell "https://bina.az/items/all"

As you can see there is the 'scrapy_cloudflare_middleware.middlewares.CloudFlareMiddleware' in [scrapy.middleware]

I also noted that you need to set USER_AGENT to it could work, there is my settings.py file:

BOT_NAME = 'cloudfare'

SPIDER_MODULES = ['cloudfare.spiders']
NEWSPIDER_MODULE = 'cloudfare.spiders'

ROBOTSTXT_OBEY = True

DOWNLOADER_MIDDLEWARES = {
    # The priority of 560 is important, because we want this middleware to kick in just before the scrapy built-in `RetryMiddleware`.
    'scrapy_cloudflare_middleware.middlewares.CloudFlareMiddleware': 560
}

USER_AGENT="Mozilla/5.0 (X11; Linux x86_64) AppleWebKit/537.36 (KHTML, like Gecko) Chrome/68.0.3440.106 Safari/537.36"
