This is a simple URL fetcher based on python3.
All the requirements have been noted in the requirements.txt
file.
To run the CLI program, run the driver program src/main.py
.
You can use the -h
switch to see the help on the CLI.
Example run:
python3 src/main.py https://google.com https://example.com
You can specify the --metadata
flag to get some metadata information
of the URl as well. Example:
python3 src/main.py --metadata https://google.com
site: google.com
num_links: 20
images: 1
last_fetch: Mon Oct 25 16:52:20 2021
The project comes with a Dockerfile which allows you to use the program through a Docker environment. First, you need to build the program image:
docker build -t fetcher-app .
when the image is done building, you can invoke the program in a Docker environment with:
docker run fetcher-app python3 src/main.py --metadata https://google.com/
This will start a container in your local docker environment and run the program in it.
Add multithreading to accelerate the URL fetching with a new class that
operates on ThreadPoolExecutor
objects.
Fix the src=
field of img
tags to point to local cache dir.
