Spider must return Request, BaseItem, dict or None, got 'set'

Question

I am trying to download images of all products from here. My spider looks like:

from shopclues.items import ImgData
import scrapy

class multipleImages(scrapy.Spider):
     name='multipleImages'
     start_urls=['http://www.shopclues.com/electronic-accessories-8/cameras-18/cameras-special.html?search=1&q1=camera',]

     def parse (self, response):
        for url in response.css('div.products-grid div.grid-product):
                    yield {
                    ImgData(image_urls=[url.css('img::attr(src)').extract()])
                    }

and items.py:

import scrapy
from scrapy.item import Item
class ShopcluesItem(scrapy.Item):
   # define the fields for your item here like:
   # name = scrapy.Field()
   pass

class ImgData(Item):
    image_urls=scrapy.Field()
    images=scrapy.Field()

But I get following error on running the spider:

What does this error means? What could be the possible reasons of the error?

Answer 1

Pass a list of urls to the pipeline.

 def parse (self, response):
     images = ImgData()
     images['image_urls']=[] 
     for url in response.css('div.products-grid div.grid-product'):
         images['image_urls'].append(url.css('img::attr(src)').extract_first())
     yield images
