Python uses the Srapy framework crawler to simulate login and crawl Zhihu content
Python uses the Srapy framework crawler to simulate login and crawl Zhihu content
1. Cookie Principle
HTTP is a stateless connection-oriented protocol. In order to maintain the connection state, a Cookie mechanism is introduced
Cookie is an attribute in the http message header, including:
- Cookie name (Name) Cookie value (Value)
- Cookie expiration time (Expires/Max-Age)
- Cookie action path (Path)
- The domain name where the cookie is located (Domain), use cookies for secure connection (Secure)
The first two parameters are necessary conditions for cookie application. In addition, they also include Cookie size (Size, different browsers have different restrictions on the number and size of Cookies).
2. Simulated login
The main website crawled this time is Zhihu
You need to log in to crawl Zhihu. Form submission can be easily implemented through the previous python built-in library.
Now let’s take a look at how to implement form submission through Scrapy.
First check the form results when logging in. It is still the same as the technique used before. I deliberately entered the wrong password and captured the login web page header and form (I used the Network function in the developer tools that comes with Chrome)
Looking at the captured form, you can see that it has four parts:
- The email and password are the email and password for personal login
- The rememberme field indicates whether to remember the account
- The first field is _xsrf, which is guessed to be a verification mechanism
- Now only _xsrf doesn’t know. I guess this verification field will definitely be sent when requesting the web page, so let’s check the source code of the current web page (right-click the mouse and view the web page source code, or use the shortcut key directly)
Find out our guess was correct
Then now you can write the form login function
def start_requests(self):
return [Request("https://www.zhihu.com/login", callback = self.post_login)] #重写了爬虫类的方法, 实现了自定义请求, 运行成功后会调用callback回调函数
#FormRequeset
def post_login(self, response):
print 'Preparing login'
#下面这句话用于抓取请求网页后返回网页中的_xsrf字段的文字, 用于成功提交表单
xsrf = Selector(response).xpath('//input[@name="_xsrf"]/@value').extract()[0]
print xsrf
#FormRequeset.from_response是Scrapy提供的一个函数, 用于post表单
#登陆成功后, 会调用after_login回调函数
return [FormRequest.from_response(response,
formdata = {
'_xsrf': xsrf,
'email': '123456',
'password': '123456'
},
callback = self.after_login
)]
The main functions are explained in the comments of the function
3. Saving Cookies
In order to continuously crawl the website using the same state, you need to save cookies and use cookies to save the state. Scrapy provides cookie processing middleware, which can be used directly
CookiesMiddleware:
This cookie middleware saves and tracks the cookie sent by the web server, and sends this cookie on the next request
The official Scrapy documentation gives the following code example:
for i, url in enumerate(urls):
yield scrapy.Request("http://www.example.com", meta={'cookiejar': i},
callback=self.parse_page)
def parse_page(self, response):
# do some processing
return scrapy.Request("http://www.example.com/otherpage",
meta={'cookiejar': response.meta['cookiejar']},
callback=self.parse_other_page)
Then we can modify the method in our crawler class to make it track cookies
#重写了爬虫类的方法, 实现了自定义请求, 运行成功后会调用callback回调函数
def start_requests(self):
return [Request("https://www.zhihu.com/login", meta = {'cookiejar' : 1}, callback = self.post_login)] #添加了meta
#FormRequeset出问题了
def post_login(self, response):
print 'Preparing login'
#下面这句话用于抓取请求网页后返回网页中的_xsrf字段的文字, 用于成功提交表单
xsrf = Selector(response).xpath('//input[@name="_xsrf"]/@value').extract()[0]
print xsrf
#FormRequeset.from_response是Scrapy提供的一个函数, 用于post表单
#登陆成功后, 会调用after_login回调函数
return [FormRequest.from_response(response, #"http://www.zhihu.com/login",
meta = {'cookiejar' : response.meta['cookiejar']}, #注意这里cookie的获取
headers = self.headers,
formdata = {
'_xsrf': xsrf,
'email': '123456',
'password': '123456'
},
callback = self.after_login,
dont_filter = True
)]
4. Disguise the head
Sometimes logging into a website requires header disguise, such as adding an anti-leeching header, or simulating server login
For insurance, we can fill in more fields in the header, as follows
headers = {
"Accept": "*/*",
"Accept-Encoding": "gzip,deflate",
"Accept-Language": "en-US,en;q=0.8,zh-TW;q=0.6,zh;q=0.4",
"Connection": "keep-alive",
"Content-Type":" application/x-www-form-urlencoded; charset=UTF-8",
"User-Agent": "Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh; Intel Mac OS X 10_10_1) AppleWebKit/537.36 (KHTML, like Gecko) Chrome/38.0.2125.111 Safari/537.36",
"Referer": "http://www.zhihu.com/"
}
In scrapy, both Request and FormRequest have a headers field when they are initialized. The headers can be customized, so we can add the headers field
Form the final version of the login function
#!/usr/bin/env python
# -*- coding:utf-8 -*-

Can vs code run in Windows 8
Apr 15, 2025 pm 07:24 PM
VS Code can run on Windows 8, but the experience may not be great. First make sure the system has been updated to the latest patch, then download the VS Code installation package that matches the system architecture and install it as prompted. After installation, be aware that some extensions may be incompatible with Windows 8 and need to look for alternative extensions or use newer Windows systems in a virtual machine. Install the necessary extensions to check whether they work properly. Although VS Code is feasible on Windows 8, it is recommended to upgrade to a newer Windows system for a better development experience and security.
Can visual studio code be used in python
Apr 15, 2025 pm 08:18 PM
VS Code can be used to write Python and provides many features that make it an ideal tool for developing Python applications. It allows users to: install Python extensions to get functions such as code completion, syntax highlighting, and debugging. Use the debugger to track code step by step, find and fix errors. Integrate Git for version control. Use code formatting tools to maintain code consistency. Use the Linting tool to spot potential problems ahead of time.
How to run programs in terminal vscode
Apr 15, 2025 pm 06:42 PM
In VS Code, you can run the program in the terminal through the following steps: Prepare the code and open the integrated terminal to ensure that the code directory is consistent with the terminal working directory. Select the run command according to the programming language (such as Python's python your_file_name.py) to check whether it runs successfully and resolve errors. Use the debugger to improve debugging efficiency.
Is the vscode extension malicious?
Apr 15, 2025 pm 07:57 PM
VS Code extensions pose malicious risks, such as hiding malicious code, exploiting vulnerabilities, and masturbating as legitimate extensions. Methods to identify malicious extensions include: checking publishers, reading comments, checking code, and installing with caution. Security measures also include: security awareness, good habits, regular updates and antivirus software.
