Web scraping API that can be inserted/built in a desktop application? - web-scraping

I am working on implementing web scraping feature in a web scraping automation desktop UI application. Can Scrapy be used as API/framework and built in a desktop app for further modification or any recommendation for web scraping API that is able to be built into a desktop app?

From your UI app, create a button click with scrappy spider call from the python script method.

Is there a way to build a Web API in the ASP.Net Core ReactJS Template?

I've fiddled with Backend Servers using NodeJS in the past and want to build a Web API for a game. I also want that same Web Server to have a Front-end page (For logging in and changing some data the Web API needs for requests, basically).
I'd like the API to be available via localhost/api/v1/.. and currently have a React Page for the Login stuff ect (using the ASP.Net core React template).
How would I go adding in the Web API part? If I understood correct, the ASP.Net Core React template creates both a react front-end and ASP.Net Core back-end already?

how to do testing (unit/functional/integration) for a web app->Spring MVC+Bootstrap

I am creating a web app using Spring MVC for back end (as an API) and this API is accessed by JQuery code in a Twitter Bootstrap template.
How do I do testing for such a web app? Do I test first the Spring API using Spring's built in testing support, and then again test the HTML Web App using Qunit/other Javascript testing framework? Is there any faster/easier/recommended approach for testing such web apps?

Convert asp.net application to windows forms app

I have written and deployed an ASP.NET application that is pretty complex. It uses XSL transformations to create web forms for a large variety of data objects. The data comes from the database as XML via a web service.
Now, I need to create a Windows desktop application that will provide a small subset of the web applications functionality to a user who may not have access to the web (working in remote areas). I will provide the data syncing using the MS Sync Framework. And I will have the desktop use a local data store.
I would like to use the same xslt files in the desktop app that I use in the web app for the form creation so that, if changes are made, the desktop app can update itself when it connects and syncs its data.
But, I am wondering how to replicate the asp.net codebehind logic of my web app in the windows forms. If I use a browser control to render the XSLTransformation result, then how could I handle click events, etc, in the form? Also, can I launch other windows as "dialog boxes" from my windows forms (I do this in my web app using RadControls functionality)?
Thanks for any advice you can give.
