Simple asyncio wrapper to download hackernews
Project description
# asyncio-hn
A simple asyncio wrapper to download
[hacker-news](https://news.ycombinator.com/)
with speed and ease.
The package supports all endpoints of the official API : [hacker-news API](https://github.com/HackerNews/API)
## Installation
```shell
pip install asyncio-hn
```
## Usage
```python
import asyncio
from asyncio_hn import ClientHN
async def main(loop):
# We init the client - extension of aiohttp.ClientSession
async with ClientHN(loop=loop) as hn:
# Up to 500 top and top stories (only ids)
hn_new_stories = await hn.top_stories()
# Download top 10 story data
top_posts = await hn.items(hn_new_stories[:10])
# Download the user data for each story
users = await hn.users([post.get("by") for post in top_posts])
if __name__ == '__main__':
loop = asyncio.get_event_loop()
loop.run_until_complete(main(loop))
```
### Advance usage
Using this config you can reach 1000+ request/sec.
```python
N = 1_000_000
async def advance_run(loop):
# We init the client - extension of aiohttp.ClientSession
conn = aiohttp.TCPConnector(limit=1000, loop=loop)
async with ClientHN(loop=loop, queue_size=1000, connector=conn, progress_bar=True, debug=True) as hn:
# Download the last 1,000,000 stories
hn_new_stories = await hn.last_n_items(n=N)
```
## Output example:
Item:
``` python
item = {'by': 'amzans', 'descendants': 25, 'id': 13566716,
'kids': [13567061, 13567631, 13567027, 13567055, 13566798, 13567473], 'score': 171, 'time': 1486210548,
