Scrapy and ScrapingHub from Insophia, a Python software company

Scrapy is a web crawling and scraping tool written in Python.

(I had blogged about Pholcidae, another Python web crawling library, recently.)

It is from Insophia, a South American software company, in Montevideo, Uruguay, that works mainly with Python.

I had come across Scrapy and Insophia some time ago. Saw them again recently.

They have also created a site, ScrapingHub, with a couple more related services:

http://scrapinghub.com/

http://scrapinghub.com/scrapy-cloud.html

http://scrapinghub.com/autoscraping.html

, that facilitates the use of their web scraping products and services.
