"What's the Best Way to Optimize a Web Scrape Script for Large-Scale Data?"
Hey folks!
So I've been working on a web scrape script to pull *tons* of data, but it’s kinda slow and clunky. Anyone got tips to speed things up?
I’m already using async requests and splitting tasks, but I feel like there’s gotta be better ways. Maybe caching? Or tweaking the concurrency settings?
Also, how do y’all handle memory usage when scraping big datasets? My script sometimes crashes when it’s processing too much at once.
Would love to hear your hacks—especially if you’ve dealt with this before. Thanks in advance!
(PS: If you’ve got a favorite library or tool for this, drop the name!)
