Not getting Info(Title) - yrstruly - Jan-24-2023

Im following a webscraping coure: https://www.linkedin.com/learning/web-scraping-with-python/hello-world-with-scrapy?autoSkip=true&autoplay=true&resume=false&u=70295562

My code:
import scrapy


class BasicsSpider(scrapy.Spider):

def parse(self, response):

title = response.xpath('//span[@class="title"]/text()').get()

RE: Not getting Info(Title) - snippsat - Jan-25-2023

Use code tag
Use yield and not return and now you do not save the ouptut now,just get run info of scrapy.
import scrapy

class BasicsSpider(scrapy.Spider):
    name = 'ietf'
    allowed_domains = ['pythonscraping.com']
    start_urls = ['https://pythonscraping.com/linkedin/ietf.html']

    def parse(self, response):
        title = response.xpath('//span[@class="title"]/text()').get()
        yield {"title": title}
So if i run this as scrapy crawl ietf -o title.json
Then dos title.json has the title.
Output:
[ {"title": "A Standard for the Transmission of IP Datagrams on Avian Carriers"} ]
