TimeoutError: Large amount of data in requests python
I am trying to make a script that scrape presentation from a slideshare link and download it as a PDF.
The script is working fine, until the total slides are under 20. Is there any alternative to requests in python that can do the job.
Here is the scripts:
import requests
from bs4 import BeautifulSoup
from PIL import Image
import io
URL_LESS = "https://www.slideshare.net/angelucmex/global-warming-2373190?qid=8f04572c-48df-4f53-b2b0-0eb71021931c&v=&b=&from_search=1"
URL="https://www.slideshare.net/tusharpanda88/python-basics-59573634?qid=03cb80ee-36f0-4241-a516-454ad64808a8&v=&b=&from_search=5"
r = requests.get(URL_LESS)
soup = BeautifulSoup(r.content, "html5lib")
imgs = soup.find_all('img', class_="slide-image")
imgSRC = [x.get("srcset").split(',')[0].strip().split(' ')[0].split('?')[0] for x in imgs]
imagesJPG = []
for img in imgSRC:
im = requests.get(img)
f = io.BytesIO(im.content)
imgJPG = Image.open(f)
imagesJPG.append(imgJPG)
imagesJPG[0].save(f"{soup.title.string}.pdf",save_all=True, append_images=imagesJPG[1:])
Try changing URL_LESS to URL, you will get the idea.
Here is the traceback

Solution 1:
The script worked perfectly for me both when using URL and URL_LESS, so your internet might be the culprit here.
My guesses are:
-
You're having a slow/inconsistent internet.
-
Slideshare is blacklisting your IP/ web-agent maybe for DDOS protection.(unlikely)
-
You're Using ipv6, which has been the culprit in these kind of cases for me, try switching your network to use ipv4 only.
and when it comes to requests, I have personally used it to scrape a fairly large amount of data for a fairly long time so I can say it's an amazing library to use
