Comment (by meejah):

 I think we should use the "requests" library (http://docs.python-
 requests.org/en/latest/) for these Onionoo transactions; it does HTTPS
 certificate hostname checking by default, whereas urllib2 does not.

 +1 for having it on a branch already :)

 It's probably worth thinking about pulling some common methods out of
 these scripts and abstracting some of the calls already, even if it's not
 in a database yet.

 For example, building URLs to Onionoo, or getting the last-modified-time
 of a query (that is, instead of directly accessing the global, call a
 method like "query_last_modified(query)". Then when it comes time to add
 persistence to a database, you just have to re-write the guts of those
 methods.
