Can't be able to find any solution to this problem anywhere.. I am not able to understand what is wrong. can somebody help me with this.
My code:
import scrapy
class QuotesSpider(scrapy.Spider):
name = "quotes_spider"
def start_request(self):
urls = ["http://quotes.toscrape.com/page/1/",
"http://quotes.toscrape.com/page/2/",
"http://quotes.toscrape.com/page/3/"
]
for url in urls:
yield scrapy.Request(url=url, callback=self.parse)
def parse(self, response):
page = response.url.split("/")[-2]
filename = 'quotes-%s.html'% page
with open(filename, 'wb') as f:
f.write(response.body)
self.log('Saved file %s' % filename)

Note: As I do not have 50 reputation to comment that's why I am answering here.
The problem is in function naming, your function should be def start_requests(self) instead of def start_request(self).
The first requests to perform are obtained by calling the start_requests() method which (by default) generates Request for the URLs. But, in your case it never gets into that function due to which the requests are never made for those URLs.
Your code after small change
import scrapy
class QuotesSpider(scrapy.Spider):
name = "quotes_spider"
def start_requests(self):
urls = ["http://quotes.toscrape.com/page/1/",
"http://quotes.toscrape.com/page/2/",
"http://quotes.toscrape.com/page/3/"
]
for url in urls:
yield scrapy.Request(url=url, callback=self.parse)
def parse(self, response):
page = response.url.split("/")[-2]
filename = 'quotes-%s.html'% page
with open(filename, 'wb') as f:
f.write(response.body)
self.log('Saved file %s' % filename)
