Scrapling is an adaptive Web Scraping framework that handles everything from a single request to a full-scale crawl.
Its parser learns from website changes and automatically relocates your elements when pages update. Its fetchers bypass anti-bot systems like Cloudflare Turnstile out of the box. And its spider framework lets you scale up to concurrent, multi-session crawls with pause/resume and automatic proxy rotation all in a few lines of Python. One library, zero compromises.

4. The **session** fetches the page and returns a [Response](../fetching/choosing.md#response-object) object to the **Crawler Engine**. The engine records statistics and checks for blocked responses. If the response is blocked, the engine retries the request up to `max_blocked_retries` times. Of course, the blocking detection and the retry logic for blocked requests can be customized.
5. The **Crawler Engine** passes the [Response](../fetching/choosing.md#response-object) to the request's callback. The callback either yields a dictionary, which gets treated as a scraped item, or a follow-up request, which gets sent to the scheduler for queuing.
6. The cycle repeats from step 2 until the scheduler is empty and no tasks are active, or the spider is paused.
7. If `crawldir` is set while starting the spider, the **Crawler Engine** periodically saves a checkpoint (pending requests + seen URLs set) to disk. On graceful shutdown (Ctrl+C), a final checkpoint is saved. The next time the spider runs with the same `crawldir`, it resumes from where it left off skipping `start_requests()` and restoring the scheduler state.
