下面是一个典型的shell会话的示例，我们从https://scray.org页面，然后继续刮https://old.reddit.com/第页。最后，我们修改（Reddit）请求方法，以发布并重新获取它，得到一个错误。我们通过键入Ctrl-D（在Unix系统中）或在Windows中键入Ctrl-Z来结束会话。

请记住，在这里提取的数据在您尝试时可能不相同，因为这些页面不是静态的，在您测试时可能已经更改了。这个例子的唯一目的是让您熟悉下脚料外壳的工作原理。

首先，我们发射炮弹：

scrapy shell 'https://scrapy.org' --nolog

注解

当从命令行运行Scrapy shell时，记住总是用引号括住url，否则url包含参数（即 ​&​ 字符）不起作用。

在Windows上，使用双引号：

scrapy shell "https://scrapy.org" --nolog

然后，shell获取URL（使用scrapy下载器）并打印可用对象和有用快捷方式的列表（您会注意到这些行都以 ​[s]​ 前缀）：

[s] Available Scrapy objects:
[s]   scrapy     scrapy module (contains scrapy.Request, scrapy.Selector, etc)
[s]   crawler    <scrapy.crawler.Crawler object at 0x7f07395dd690>
[s]   item       {}
[s]   request    <GET https://scrapy.org>
[s]   response   <200 https://scrapy.org/>
[s]   settings   <scrapy.settings.Settings object at 0x7f07395dd710>
[s]   spider     <DefaultSpider 'default' at 0x7f0735891690>
[s] Useful shortcuts:
[s]   fetch(url[, redirect=True]) Fetch URL and update local objects (by default, redirects are followed)
[s]   fetch(req)                  Fetch a scrapy.Request and update local objects
[s]   shelp()           Shell help (print this help)
[s]   view(response)    View response in a browser

>>>

之后，我们可以开始玩对象：

>>> response.xpath('//title/text()').get()
'Scrapy | A Fast and Powerful Scraping and Web Crawling Framework'

>>> fetch("https://old.reddit.com/")

>>> response.xpath('//title/text()').get()
'reddit: the front page of the internet'

>>> request = request.replace(method="POST")

>>> fetch(request)

>>> response.status
404

>>> from pprint import pprint

>>> pprint(response.headers)
