How to use

_request

• call the _request() function, it will first try a request with the request libary and then with selenium
• fill out these keywords: url: str, keyword: str, headers: dict = None, soup:bool=False, max_retry:int=2, wait:int=0
• Explanation:
  • url : request url
  • keyword: the keyword that should be in the website to know whether or not it got the right website, use '' to ignore
  • headers: request header in dicit form, use {} for no headers, leave empty for basic request header
  • soup : Whether or not returned as a soup object
  • max_retry: how often it reties the request (boath the normal and selenium) to get a response containing the keyword

multi_request

• calls the _request in multiprocessing
• the first argument just uses a list of lists of these 3 arguments: [url, keyword, headers] (lenght of list determines how many request are done)
• new argument: process: int = 1, just determines how many processes are called at the same time
• the rest are just the same as _request, but apply to every request
