A method and system for retrieving data from a webpage is described herein. A scheduler organizes, or rather orders, a group of webpage identifiers according to some predetermined criteria. Based upon this ordering, a fetcher may be configured to fetch data from webpages identified by the identifiers. To promote efficiency and reduce the latency between when a webpage is updated and when the fetcher retrieves data from the webpage, the scheduler may be configured to reorder the identifiers in such a manner that it causes an identifier that was less relevant, and would not have been sent to the fetcher, to become more relevant. In this way, the method and system may be particularly useful for retrieving data related to webpages that are updated frequently, such as social media webpages, for example. |
