Phase 1: Diagnose and Reproduce Manually run the existing script to observe errors and identify whether the issue stems from network failures, site structure changes, or incomplete handling of pagination or file streams. Check current cron job logs (e.g., /var/log/syslog) and verify environment/path issues that might differ from manual runs. Phase 2: Script Optimization Add error handling and retry logic using libraries like requests, tenacity, or custom loops for failed downloads. Implement response validation (e.g., file size checks, headers, content completeness) before considering a download successful. Enhance pagination handling and conditional logic for different card/report formats if applicable. Phase 3: Robustness & Logging Log each download attempt with status (success/fail) and timestamp. Maintain a record of partially downloaded or failed files for manual or automated reprocessing. Add hash or file integrity verification where possible. Phase 4: Cron Job Hardening Ensure that the cron job: Uses absolute paths for Python and script resources Logs output to a timestamped log file Sends failure notifications if needed Phase 5: Testing and Finalization Run the job across multiple cycles to validate long-term stability Provide: A final working script Setup instructions Optional: reprocessing script for failed downloads
