We need a static URL for scraping results. Right now the URL changes after every run. What is the solution for this?

<project_id>/<spider_id>/<job_id>

How to replace <job_id> with last one as default ?

You can use the Scrapinghub Jobs API and python-scrapinghub library. This library interacts with scrapy cloud, hence you can use in the spider to get the Job list and use the latest one.

You can also fetch data from latest completed job in csv format using the url

https://app.scrapinghub.com/api/items.csv?project=PROJECTNUMBER&spider=SPIDERNAME&include_headers=1&fields=FIELDNAME1,FIELDNAME2&apikey=APIKEY '

You need to replace:

PROJECTNUMBER with your project number
SPIDERNAME with your spider name
FIELDNAME1 , FIELDNAME2 with the name of the fields, in the order you want them to appear in the CSV columns
APIKEY with your Apikey
