Just because something doesn’t do what you planned it to do doesn’t mean it’s useless. - Thomas Edison
Description: The previous version was fine, I decided to save the URL separately so that its database can also be used with rgpvnotes.in application also, but I didn't take into account the human error element, In my database scheme I am just checking news text for uniqueness, but sometimes the RGPV is posting an update & then later changing just its URL. My script is missing these updates. so I have to fix it.
Problem: In some cases, RGPV only updates the URL of the news & my script is missing those updates because we are only checking the text.
Solution I suggest: The solution I am thinking of is easy enough, we can combine the text of the news with the URL & generate its MD5 hash, the ash will be compared for uniqueness rather than text, the chances of md5 collision is very low so that should not be a problem. It is much better than our current approach and easy enough to implement in a few minutes.
Todo list:
- None so far.
