How To Turn Off Logging in Scrapy (Python)

You can simply change the logging level for scrapy (or any other logger):

logging.getLogger('scrapy').setLevel(logging.WARNING)

This disables all log messages less than the WARNING level.

To disable all scrapy log messages you can just set propagate to False:

logging.getLogger('scrapy').propagate = False

This prevents scrapy's log messages from propagating to the root logger (which prints to console when configured using basicConfig())

logging.basicConfig(**kwargs)

This function does nothing if the root logger already has handlers configured for it.

Scrapy has handlers configured for it, so this will not work

you can simply add --nolog as a parameter when launching your spider using scrapy command
I am using scrapy v1.7.3. you can see more in help using command:

scrapy --help

You could add -s LOG_ENABLED=False as a parameter when launching your script. That should do the trick.

Note: For the version 1.1 changed a little bit: -s LOG_ENABLED=0
