Extract() [u'set unique family well'] Excellent, it works fine. What you will notice is that I appended /text() at the end of the //h1 expression. This is necessary in order to extract just the text contained in H1, and not the H1 element itself. We will almost always use /text() for textual fields. extract() [u'

'] At this point, we have the code to extract the first interesting property of this page—the title—but if you take a better look, you will notice an easier and better way of doing so.
Those are not application-specific, but are just fields that I personally find interesting and think that might help me debug my spider in the future. You might or might not choose to have some of them for your projects. If you have a look at them, you'll understand that they allow me to find out where (server, url), when (date), and how (spider) an item got scraped. They might let me automate tasks like expiring items and scheduling new scrape iterations, or to drop items that came from a buggy spider.
Okay, let's start hacking. First we will use the URL that we used with Scrapy shell by setting start_urls accordingly. Then we will use spider's predefined method log() to output everything that we summarized in the primary fields table.
