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>__
.. code:: shell
pip install asyncio-hn
.. code:: 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.
.. code:: python
import aiohttp
from asyncio_hn import ClientHN
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)
