Robots.txt

Your crawler is trying to check robots.txt file but the website doesn't have one present.

To avoid this you can set ROBOTSTXT_OBEY setting to false in your settings.py file.
By default it's False but new scrapy projects generated with scrapy startproject command has ROBOTSTXT_OBEY = True generated from the template.

503 responses

Further the website seems to respond as 503 on every first request. The website is using some sort of bot protection:

First request is 503 then some javascript is being executed to make an AJAX request for generating __shovlshield cookie:

enter image description here

Seems like https://shovl.io/ ddos protection is being used.

To solve this you need to reverse engineer how javascript generates the cookie or employ javascript rendering techniques/services such as selenium or splash
