Scrapy基础知识之发送POST请求中的坑

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

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。

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) – 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 `.

    :param method: method for the new :class:`Request` object.
    :param url: URL for the new :class:`Request` object.

        or a 4-tuple ``('filename', fileobj, 'content_type', custom_headers)``, where ``'content-type'`` is a string
        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.
    :param timeout: (optional) How many seconds to wait for the server to send data

    :param verify: (optional) Either a boolean, in which case it controls whether we verify
            the server's TLS certificate, or a string, in which case it must be a path

    :param stream: (optional) if ``False``, the response content will be immediately downloaded.

    Usage::

      >>> import requests
      >>> req = requests.request('GET', 'http://httpbin.org/get')
      
    """

    with sessions.Session() as session:
        return session.request(method=method, url=url, **kwargs)
