Can I pass more than one setting to `schedule.json` ?

Hello! Thanks for seeing this issue.

The doc of schedule.jsonsays:

setting (string, optional) - a Scrapy setting to use when running the spider

So can I pass two or more Scrapy settings to the spider?

For example, I can run the following command in command line:

scrapy crawl somespider -s JOBDIR='./jobs' -s CLOSESPIDER_TIMEOUT=100

Then it can pass both two settings to the job.

What should I do if I want to pass those two settings via API schedule.json ?

Thank you!

@nadzimo Hi! You can pass settings with any HTTP client like requests or urllib. I use requests in my project. The following code is for your reference.

settings = [
    ('project', 'default'),
    ('spider', 'xxx'),
    ('setting', 'JOBDIR=%s' % jobdir),
    ('setting', 'CLOSESPIDER_TIMEOUT=%d' % duration)
]
res = requests.post('http://localhost:6800/schedule.json', data=settings)
res = res.json()
if res.get('status') == 'ok':
    pass

In the above code, I pass a list of tuples as POST data instead of dict to pass more than one setting to scrapyd API, or values with same key will be overridden.

you can

import requests

data = {
      ...
      setting=["JOBDIR=%s"% jobdir, "CLOSESPIDER_TIMEOUT=%s"%timeout]
}
resp = requests.post(url,data=data)

by soure code add print ,this is able
