Run Scrapy on IIS

Question

I have an IIS server and on it I have an ASP.NET MVC application. The MVC application will revolve around Scraped data. Is there a way I can run Scrapy (a tool built in Python) on IIS? Simliar to how we can run PHP and WordPress on IIS.

The Scrapy Tool does not need a web server to run, and yes you can install it on Windows. If you are talking about using a graphical web-based interface you may have to write your own or you can keep up with the latest efforts on the mailing list.

So I can just do a cron job to run scrapy on the computer machine running Windows server? And it'll work just fine, like it does on a regular computer? – J86 Mar 24 '13 at 21:56
Well, if you can run Scrapy on the server in a shell with a terminal then sure, you can run it from a cron job. – Steven Almeroth Mar 24 '13 at 22:52
