Meet Web Scraping Copilot, a free VS Code extension that uses AI to accelerate Scrapy projects. Generate code, manage spiders, and deploy to Scrapy Cloud faster than ever, keeping developers in control.

Imagine a long crawling process, like extracting data from a website for a whole month. We can start it and leave it running until we get the results.

Up until now, your deployment process using Scrapy Cloud has probably been something like this: code and test your spiders locally, commit and push your changes to a GitHub repository, and finally deploy them to Scrapy Cloud using shub deploy.

You can deploy, run, and maintain control over your Scrapy spiders in Scrapy Cloud, our production environment.

It’s the end of an era. Python 2 is on its way out with only a few security and bug fixes forthcoming from now until its official retirement in 2020.


At Zyte we're always building and running large crawls–last year we had 11 billion requests made on Scrapy Cloud alone.

In case you aren’t familiar with Portia, it’s an open-source tool we developed for visually scraping websites. Portia allows you to make templates of pages you want to scrape and uses those templates to create a spider to scrape similar pages.

We are proud to announce some exciting changes we've introduced this week. These changes bring a much more pleasant user experience, and several new features including the addition of Portia to our platform!
