When you run ‘scrapy crawl’ on cmd make sure you type the name you’ve given your spider inside your quotes_spider.py file instead of typing the python file name. For Example:

My .py file is saved as quotes_spider.py

class QuotesSpider(scrapy.Spider):
name = "quotes"

So on cmd type :
‘scrapy crawl quotes’ (this is the name you’ve given your spider inside your QuotesSpider class)
Instead of ‘scrapy crawl quotes_spider’ (which is the .py file name)
