I think what you're looking for is the meta dict: http://doc.scrapy.org/en/latest/topics/request-response.html#scrapy.http.Request.meta
You can store info in it that you can get out of it later. So, don't declare the item class until the final page request, and before that do: meta["names"] = xpath meta["age"] = xpath ..so forth Then in the request, just include the meta dict. request(url=url, callback=self.next_method, meta=meta) There's some real-life examples out there if you google it up. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "scrapy-users" group.
