Throw a NotImplementedError in Python
<p>when I try to run my code I face with this issue I have defined a real-time request for this scraping but still does not working. anyone knows how to deal with this issue in python?
How sitemap is important in this case?
Thanks in advance    </p>

<p>The exception is being thrown because your class <code>CNNnewsSpider</code> does not override the method <code>parse()</code> from <code>scrapy.BaseSpider</code>.  Although you are defining a <code>parse()</code> method in the code you pasted, it is not being included in <code>CNNnewsSpider</code> because of indentation: instead, it is being defined as a standalone function.  You need to fix your indentation as follows:</p>

<pre><code>class CNNnewsSpider(ModSitemapSpider):
