=======
asyncio
=======
.. versionadded:: 2.0
Scrapy has partial support :mod:`asyncio`. After you :ref:`install the asyncio
reactor <install-asyncio>`, you may use :mod:`asyncio` and
:mod:`asyncio`-powered libraries in any :doc:`coroutine <coroutines>`.
.. warning:: :mod:`asyncio` support in Scrapy is experimental. Future Scrapy
versions may introduce related changes without a deprecation
period or warning.
.. _install-asyncio:
Installing the asyncio reactor
==============================
To enable :mod:`asyncio` support, set the :setting:`TWISTED_REACTOR` setting to
``'twisted.internet.asyncioreactor.AsyncioSelectorReactor'``.
If you are using :class:`~scrapy.crawler.CrawlerRunner`, you also need to
install the :class:`~twisted.internet.asyncioreactor.AsyncioSelectorReactor`
reactor manually. You can do that using
:func:`~scrapy.utils.reactor.install_reactor`::
install_reactor('twisted.internet.asyncioreactor.AsyncioSelectorReactor')
.. _using-custom-loops:
Using custom asyncio loops
==========================
You can also use custom asyncio event loops with the asyncio reactor. Set the
:setting:`ASYNCIO_EVENT_LOOP` setting to the import path of the desired event loop class to
use it instead of the default asyncio event loop.
