## What it is
A Scrapy-based web crawler that scrapes Zhihu user profiles and their follower/following relationship graphs, storing data in MongoDB. It serves primarily as an educational example of building a login-aware Scrapy spider with Celery-based async image downloading.

## Use cases
- scrape zhihu user profiles
- crawl social network follower relationships
- learn scrapy with a real example
- extract user data from zhihu
- build a social graph from a website
- scrape user avatars asynchronously

## When to choose
- you want a worked Scrapy example with login, CSRF handling, and pagination
- you need to crawl Zhihu user data and relationship topology
- you want to see Scrapy combined with MongoDB, RabbitMQ, and Celery

## When to avoid
- you need a maintained tool - the last release was 2016 and Zhihu's site has changed
- you want scraping without providing your own Zhihu account credentials
- you need a general-purpose scraping framework rather than a site-specific spider
