📅 2024-07-13 — Session: Concurrent Profile Link Retrieval with Timeout
🕒 03:00–03:50
🏷️ Labels: Python, Concurrency, Timeout, Web Scraping
📂 Project: Dev
⭐ Priority: MEDIUM
Session Goal
The goal of this session was to implement a timeout mechanism in Python to retrieve profile links concurrently using concurrent.futures, and to handle potential timeouts and errors gracefully.
Key Activities
- Implemented a timeout mechanism in a for loop using Python’s
concurrent.futures. - Explored error handling strategies for concurrent web scraping tasks.
Achievements
- Successfully implemented a robust timeout mechanism for concurrent profile link retrieval.
- Enhanced error handling capabilities in the web scraping process.
Pending Tasks
- Further testing and optimization of the timeout settings for different network conditions.
