Usage

# Sample data
number_of_sample_urls = 1000
urls = [ f'https://postman-echo.com/get?random_data={test_no}' for test_no in range(number_of_sample_urls) ]
headers = [{'sample_header':test_no} for test_no in range(number_of_sample_urls)]
from request_boost import boosted_requests

results = boosted_requests(urls=urls)
print(results)
from request_boost import boosted_requests

results = boosted_requests(urls=urls, no_workers=16, max_tries=5, timeout=5, headers=headers, verbose=True, parse_json=True)
print(results)
from request_boost import boosted_requests

# Config
number_of_sample_urls = 100

# Sample data
urls = [f'https://postman-echo.com/get?random_data={test_no}' for test_no in range(number_of_sample_urls)]
post_urls = [f'https://postman-echo.com/post' for test_no in range(number_of_sample_urls)]
headers = [{'sample_header': test_no} for test_no in range(number_of_sample_urls)]
data = [{'sample_data': test_no} for test_no in range(number_of_sample_urls)] # Required for POST requests, 
#For POST request data can be just list of empty dict but not NONE

simple_results = boosted_requests(urls=urls, no_workers=16, max_tries=5, timeout=5, headers=None, verbose=False, parse_json=True)
header_results = boosted_requests(urls=urls, no_workers=16, max_tries=5, timeout=5, headers=headers, parse_json=True)
post_results = boosted_requests(urls=post_urls, no_workers=16, max_tries=5, timeout=5, headers=headers, data=data, verbose=True, parse_json=True)

)

Get data from APIs in parallel by creating workers that process in the background
    :param urls: list of URLS
    :param no_workers: maximum number of parallel processes {Default::32}
    :param max_tries: Maximum number of tries before failing for a specific URL {Default::5}
    :param after_max_tries: What to do if not successfull after "max_tries" for a specific URL, 
                            one of {"assert", "break"} {Default::assert}
    :param timeout: Waiting time per request {Default::10}
    :param headers: Headers if any for the URL requests
    :param data: data if any for the URL requests (Wherever not None a POST request is made)
    :param verbose: Show progress [True or False] {Default::True}
    :param parse_json: Parse response to json [True or False] {Default::True}
    :return: List of response for each API (order is maintained)

TODO:: Want to contribute?

  • Make the backend used (urllib/request library) an option that the user can choose, by default we use urllib
  • For parallel processing add options for multi-processing along with multi-threading
  • Set-up tests for edge cases and changes verification
  • Set-up CI/CD pipleine (possibly using GitHub actions) to publish changes to PyPi
  • Improeve the doc-strings documentation to add more explanantion and examples
  • Add a message queue to deploy the service across machines
  • Add option to run URL requests with Self signed certificate verify=False
  • Add option to supress warnings
  • Add progess bars from tqdm and ascii
  • Add option to add session and auth
