There are many best practices in Scrapy development that can help developers write efficient and stable spiders. First, you should obey the robots.txt protocol and respect website anti-scraping policies. Second, you should set download delays and concurrency reasonably to avoid putting too much pressure on target websites. You should use User-Agent pools and proxy pools to avoid being blocked. For large projects, you should use Item and Item Loader to manage data structures and use pipelines to handle data storage. You should make full use of middleware to handle common logic, such as request header settings, error handling, etc. You should use scrapy shell to test selectors and extraction logic to reduce debugging time. You should use logging reasonably to facilitate troubleshooting. For distributed crawling, you should use scrapy-redis to implement task distribution and deduplication. You should back up data regularly to avoid data loss. You should write unit tests and integration tests to ensure code quality. Finally, you should pay attention to Scrapy version updates and upgrade in a timely manner to get new features and performance improvements.
