Schedule a spider run (also known as a job), returning the job id.

  • HELP

      Run Spider

    • project (string, required) - the project name
    • _version (string, optional) - the version of the project to use, default: the latest version
    • spider (string, required) - the spider name
    • jobid (string, optional) - a job id used to identify the job, overrides the default generated UUID
    • setting (string, optional) - a Scrapy setting to use when running the spider. (See Scrapy settings)
    • any other parameter is passed as spider argument. (See Scrapy spider-arguments)

      • Timer Task

    • To get the local timezone of your host: 
      $ pip install tzlocal
from tzlocal import get_localzone
print(get_localzone())

    • Keep in mind that the start_date limit would become invalid if you select the action to fire the task right now.

    • Also note that the misfire_grace_time would be saved as None if it's set to 0, which means that the scheduler would reschedule the misfired task no matter how long it has been missed.
    • Otherwise, just set misfire_grace_time to 1 to ignore any misfired task missed by more than 1 second.

    • Check out apscheduler.triggers.cron and apscheduler.schedulers.base.BaseScheduler.add_job and userguide for more info.
