I have been building out APIs to automate digital forensics and incident response analysis, so artifacts are quickly ready for review during an investigation. I was using the ‘requests’ library from python but wanted to speed up the process. I found that using the ‘asyncio’ library provided me with improved performance to read a line delimited file, make a web request and write the results to disk. It was super useful, so I wanted to share a code snippet in case it could help others!
I had to use ‘aiohttp.TCPConnector(ssl=False)’ on my MacBook but not my Ubuntu system for a certificate verification error, FYI.
Happy Coding!
