Web Scraping Images | Scrapy | extracting images with a specific class name

Web Scraping images using Scrapy and saving them using "response.body" with 'wb' to write as binary to a file. We look at how to find only images with a specific class name using an Xpath selector.

◉ x = response.xpath("//*[@class='c-link']//img/@src").getall()

I also remove a "filestore" directory each time, and make a new one.

This uses "shutil" plus there's some more Scrapy shell action for you too.
