scrapy-tg-export

scrapy-tg-export package provides a Scrapy extension to send items to Telegram.

License is MIT.

Extension requires Python 2.7 or 3.5+.

Usage

To use TGItemExporterExtension, enable and configure it in settings.py::

EXTENSIONS = {
    'scrapy_tg_export.TGItemExporterExtension': 1,
}
TELEGRAM_EXPORT_ENABLED = True
TELEGRAM_API_KEY = <telegram bot API key>
TELEGRAM_CHAT_ID = <telegram chat id (with minus sign)>
TELEGRAM_MESSAGE_PREPROCESSOR = <(optional) your function to convert Item into markdown text>

After that all scraped items would be put to a specified Telegram chat.

Message preprocessor takes item and response as input, returns string representation and boolean export flag. If this flag is False then item won't be exported.
