Description

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.
