I want to call web services like google books, openlibrary etc., asynchronously and get the book data and store it into my own MySQL server. I want to write a script to do this. It is similar to a web crawler I believe except it does not have to deal with html pages but JSON/XML.
What could be the best way to proceed with this? Can this be done using PHP or NodeJS?
Unless the api’s you are calling are slowing down you application, there is reason to do this asynchronously.
If however you hitting some sort of bottleneck and don’t want to keep you application hanging while you get response from these api’s than Nodejs will be good choice to do this asynchronously.
