Just in time. That XPath example is really useful for me.

I didn't finished the article yet, but I have one question. Is there ability in Scrapy to append new data after initial scrapping?

For example site at the moment of scrapping:

  Article 1  
  Article 2
Then we run scrapy again after some time and site will look like this:

  Article 1  
  Article 2  
  Article 3  
  Article 4
Can it just append article 3 and 4 to file/db table and stop scraping?

This project might give you some ideas https://github.com/TeamHG-Memex/scrapy-crawl-once.

That guy has quite a few scraping projects.
