Scrapy Crawl (referer: None)

Question

I am new to scrapy and python I am scrapping data from Aliexpress.com with playwright method and it returns (referer: None): Here is my code

class AliSpider(scrapy.Spider):
    name = "aliex"

    def start_requests(self):
        # GET request
        search_value = 'phones'
        yield scrapy.Request(f"https://www.aliexpress.com/premium/{search_value}.html?spm=a2g0o.productlist.1000002.0&initiative_id=SB_20230118063054&dida=y",
         meta=dict(
            playwright= True,
            playwright_include_page = True,
            playwright_page_coroutines =[
                PageMethod('wait_for_selector', '.list--gallery--34TropR')
            ]
         ))
    

    async def parse(self, response):
        for data in response.xpath("//h1"):
            related_link = data.xpath(".//text()").get()
            yield{
                'related_link':related_link
            }

I am getting

2023-01-18 19:56:55 [scrapy.core.engine] DEBUG: Crawled (200) <GET https://www.aliexpress.com/wholesale?SearchText=phones&spm=a2g0o.productlist.1000002.0&initiative_id=SB_20230118063054&dida=y> (referer: None)
2023-01-18 19:56:55 [scrapy.core.engine] INFO: Closing spider (finished)

Here is the complete solution using standalone playwright with python which works find with windows.The website loaded data dynamicaly via JavaScript that’s why I use
page.evaluate() method to execute JavaScript and scroll the entire page, otherwise, it will not scrape the complete ResultSets.

Script:

from playwright.sync_api import sync_playwright
from bs4 import BeautifulSoup
import pandas as pd
import time

data = []
with sync_playwright() as p:
    browser = p.chromium.launch(headless=False)
    context = browser.new_context()
    page = context.new_page()
    search_value = 'phones'
    for page_num in range(1,4):
       
        page.goto(f"https://www.aliexpress.com/wholesale?SearchText=phones&catId=0&dida=y&g=y&initiative_id=SB_20230118063054&page={page_num}&spm=a2g0o.productlist.1000002.0&trafficChannel=main")
        page.wait_for_selector('[class="manhattan--content--1KpBbUi"]',timeout=30000)
        scroll_height = page.evaluate("""() => {
                                return Math.max(
                                  document.body.scrollHeight, document.documentElement.scrollHeight,
                                  document.body.offsetHeight, document.documentElement.offsetHeight,
                                  document.body.clientHeight, document.documentElement.clientHeight
                                );
                            }""")
        current_height = 0
        while current_height < scroll_height:
            current_height = page.evaluate("""() => {
                                window.scrollBy(0, window.innerHeight);
                                return window.scrollY;
                            }""")
            time.sleep(2)
        soup = BeautifulSoup(page.content(), 'lxml')
        for card in soup.select('[class="manhattan--content--1KpBbUi"]'):
            title = card.h1.text
            data.append({'title':title})

df = pd.DataFrame(data)
print(df)
