Thanks gang,
I'm gonna paste what I've put together, doesn't seem right. Am I way
off?
Here's my code.
- It goes through a table Item
- Matches that Item ID to an API call
- Grabs the data, saves it and creates the thumbnail
- It dies due to Timeouts and Other baloney, all silly, nothing code
based.
items = Item.objects.all().filter(cover='').order_by('-reference_id')
for item in items:
url = "http://someaddress.org/books/?issue=%s"; % item.reference_id
url_array = []
url_open = urllib.urlopen(url)
url_read = url_open.read().decode('utf-8')
try:
url_data = simplejson.loads(url_read)
url_array.append(url_data)
for detail in url_array:
if detail['artworkUrl']:
cover_url = detail['artworkUrl'].replace('
','%20')
cover_open = urllib.urlretrieve(cover_url)
cover_name = os.path.split(cover_url)[1]
item.cover.save(cover_name,
File(open(cover_open[0])),
save=True) ## Create and save Thumbnail
print "Cover - %s: %s" % (item.number, url)
else:
print "Missing - %s: %s" % (item.number, url)
except ValueError:
print "Error Processing record: %s: %s" % (item.reference_id,
url)
pass
except IOError:
print "IOError; Retrying..."
pass
print "Done"
