Do you have any opinion on the Scrapy API? I've gotten some good results with them:

Scrapy is AWSOME !

It allows you to do so much with such a few lines of codes.

I consider Scrapy as a requests package under big steroïds.

The fact that you can handle parallelization, throttling, data filtering, and data loading in one place is very good. I am specifically fond of the autothrottle feature

However, Scrapy need some extension to work well with proxies and headless browser.
