StackExAR

Stack Exchange archive reader

This project is needed for convenient access to the stackexchange.com archive. Using a simple API, you can index archives and retrieve data directly. The main goal of this project is to use it to train artificial intelligence.

The main goal was to be able to read the archive stackoverflow.com. The archive weighs 20 gigabytes and approximately more than 70 million records, since all data is recorded in a bzip2 archive this allows them to be read in stream mode

Installation

python3 -m venv venv
source venv/bin/activate 
pip3 install -r requirements.txt

Open env_config with any txt editor and set you configs

Example config:

count_workers = 32
archive_folder = "data/archives"
database_folder = "data/archives"
host = "0.0.0.0"
port = "8000"

Usage

• use /archive/list to find all files in archive folder
• use /archive/load or /archive/load/all for preload archive files (It is worth understanding that large files require preliminary indexing)
• use /indexing/process or /indexing/process/all for index content in archive
• use /archive/get/post or /archive/get/posts for read posts

TODO

• make faster reader for stackoverflow.com
• remade database worker class
• full text search?
• make a variation for static operation
