    <blockquote> <p>At first I thought scrapyd was made for this, but after reading the doc, it seems that it's more a daemon able to manage 'packaged spiders', aka 'scrapy eggs'; and that all the settings (start_urls , allowed_domains, settings ) must still be hardcoded in the 'scrapy egg' itself ; so it doesn't look like a solution to my question, unless I missed something. </p> </blockquote> <p>I don't agree to the above statement, start_urls need not be hard-coded they can be dynamically passed to the class, you should be able to pass it as an argument like this</p> <pre><code>http://localhost:6800/schedule.json -d project=myproject -d spider=somespider -d setting=DOWNLOAD_DELAY=2 -d arg1=val1 </code></pre> <p>Or you should be able to retrieve the URLs from a database or a file. I get it from a database like this</p> <pre><code>class WikipediaSpider(BaseSpider): name = 'wikipedia' allowed_domains = ['wikipedia.com'] start_urls = [] def __init__(self, name=None, url=None, **kwargs): item = MovieItem() item['spider'] = self.name # You can pass a specific url to retrieve if url: if name is not None: self.name = name elif not getattr(self, 'name', None): raise ValueError("%s must have a name" % type(self).__name__) self.__dict__.update(kwargs) self.start_urls = [url] else: # If there is no specific URL get it from Database wikiliks = # &lt; -- CODE TO RETRIEVE THE LINKS FROM DB --&gt; if wikiliks == None: print "**************************************" print "No Links to Query" print "**************************************" return None for link in wikiliks: # SOME PROCESSING ON THE LINK GOES HERE self.start_urls.append(urllib.unquote_plus(link[0])) def parse(self, response): hxs = HtmlXPathSelector(response) # Remaining parse code goes here </code></pre>

A row detail

Detail views are divided into sections. All the information in the data section comes from columns in the selected row. The other sections display data from other, related rows.

Related data can be related in a to-one or a to-many fashion. Captions of data related in a to-many fashion link to a list view showing a filtered view of the table.

Try moving around until you find a non-empty to-many entry and click on the label to get to one. You can move back to the root by clicking on the database name in the header.
