Galaxusscrapper is web-scrapping spider based on scrapy. Its dockerized and offers a REST api based on scrapyrt for convenience :)

{
	"status": "ok",

• scrapy - a fast high-level web crawling & scraping framework for Python
• scrapyrt - Scrapy realtime
• Unidecode - ASCII transliterations of Unicode text
