Intro

Scrapy Do is a daemon that provides a convenient way to run Scrapy spiders. It can either do it once - immediately; or it can run them periodically, at specified time intervals. It's been inspired by scrapyd but written from scratch. It comes with a REST API, a command line client, and an interactive web interface.
