scrapyd-deploy not deploying project? Python Scrapy

Question

I have setup a scrapyd Server. When I run the command scrapyd-deploy, it shows me the following message.

but when I navigate to http://10.2.1.54:6800/jobs it shows nothing.

Am I Missing something?

Answer 1

The scrapyd-deploy function only sets up the server to accept crawl jobs. You have to schedule spider runs using the json api. The screenshot you have shared is the default jobs page once the scrapyd server has been successfully set up.

An example taken from the docs shows how to schedule a job as below.

$ curl http://localhost:6800/schedule.json -d project=myproject -d spider=spider2

which returns {"status": "ok", "jobid": "26d1b1a6d6f111e0be5c001e648c57f8"}
