[FIXED] Scrapy Resizing image thumbnails - 2022

Issue

Hello I am trying to resize the images for the thumbnails in scrapy. I have seen a few posts about resizing, but they seem to address past versions of scrapy.

Requirements - for the thumbnails, if they are too small to resize/upscale to the required size stated in the settings file - "

• 'zoro': (500, 500),
• 'small': (116, 90),
• 'large': (386, 300),
• 'zoom': (648, 504)

" Here is my code -

Settings.py

BOT_NAME = 'project'

SPIDER_MODULES = ['project.spiders']
NEWSPIDER_MODULE = 'project.spiders'

...

LOG_STDOUT = True
LOG_FILE = 'scrapy_log.log'

ITEM_PIPELINES = {
   'project.pipelines.ImagePipeline': 1,
}
IMAGES_STORE = 'image_dir'
IMAGES_URLS_FIELD = 'image_urls'
IMAGES_RESULT_FIELD = 'images'

IMAGES_THUMBS = {
    'zoro': (500, 500),
    'small': (116, 90),
    'large': (386, 300),
    'zoom': (648, 504)
}

Spider.py

import scrapy
from ..items import ItemImage

    name = 'ImageDownload'
    allowed_domains = ['antaira.com']
    
    def start_requests(self):
        urls = [
            'https://www.antaira.com/products/PCIe-RS232',
        ]
        for url in urls:
            yield scrapy.Request(url, callback=self.parse)

    def parse(self, response):
        # iterate through each of the relative urls
        for url in response.xpath('//div[@class="product-container"]//a/@href').getall():
            product_link = response.urljoin(url)  # use variable
            yield scrapy.Request(product_link, callback=self.parse_new_item, dont_filter=True)

    def parse_new_item(self, response):
        item = ItemImage()
        raw_image_urls = response.xpath('//div[@class="selectors"]/a/@href').getall()
        name = response.xpath("//h1[@class='product-name']/text()").get()
        filename = name.split(' ')[0].strip()
        urls = [response.urljoin(i) for i in raw_image_urls]
        item["name"] = filename
        item["image_urls"] = urls
        yield item

            background.paste(image, image)
            image = background.convert('RGB')
        elif image.mode != 'RGB':
            image = image.convert('RGB')
        if size is None:
            image = image.copy()
            basewidth = size[0] # the size from the settings.py
            wpercent = (basewidth/float(image.size[0]))
            hsize = int((float(image.size[1])*float(wpercent)))
            image = image.resize((basewidth,hsize), Image.ANTIALIAS)

        buf = StringIO()
        image.save(buf, 'JPEG', quality=72)

Hey @Alex, I ran the code you replied with and it returned the expected regular images, but I did not get any sub-folders with the expected thumbnails. This is what I got this in the scrapy.log -

Scrapy.log

During handling of the above exception, another exception occurred:

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/home/joel/.local/lib/python3.8/site-packages/scrapy/pipelines/files.py", line 465, in media_downloaded
    checksum = self.file_downloaded(response, request, info, item=item)

    return func(*args, **kwargs)

    thumb_image, thumb_buf = self.convert_image(image, size)
  File "/home/joel/Desktop/project/project/pipelines.py", line 29, in convert_image
    image = image.resize(size, image.ANTIALIAS)
AttributeError: 'JpegImageFile' object has no attribute 'ANTIALIAS'

Solution

All you need to do is change the convert_image method in your pipeline to the following code:

I added some inline notes...

from io import BytesIO
from PIL import Image

def convert_image(self, image, size=None):
    if size is not None:   # If the size is not None then it is a thumbnail
        # so we resize it according the parameter
        image = image.resize(size, Image.ANTIALIAS)
    else:
        # otherwise we give the image to back to the superclass version of 
        # this method for it to process.
        return super().convert_image(image, size=size)  
    buf = BytesIO()  #  These next 3 lines are from the scrapy source code.
    image.save(buf, 'JPEG')  
    return image, buf

you can remove all the unnecessary imports in the pipeline file as well especially the form cString import StringIO since that would raise an error on it's own.
