Concerns
The first time you ever run the render() method, it will download Chromium into your home directory (e.g. ~/.pyppeteer/). This only happens once. Additional necessary linux packages may need to be installed.
Timeout issues do sometimes occur when fetching with asycnc
since data is loaded onto the DOM asynchronous.
A Timeout Exception will be raised barchart.helpers.errors.TimeoutError
At the moment, it takes about 1 minute to fetch and parse 10-12 pages.
If a parsing exception is raised, create a issue ticket.
Parsing exceptions barchart.helpers.errors.ParsingError: Parsing error: Index error on table headers, check response
Sometimes barchart likes to suppress most of their data at different times of day.
