My client needs their Google AdWords destination URL query parsed and the values spell checked to eliminate any typos ("use" instead of "us", etc).
I'm pulling the data using the AdWords API and putting it into a dateframe
for manipulation. Everything works, but there are over 100,000 records every pull and sometimes the code takes hours and hours to run. Is there a way to optimize the following code blocks?
def parse_url(df):
for index, row in df.iterrows():
parsed = urlparse(str(row['Destination URL'])).query
parsed = parse_qs(parsed)
for k, v in parsed.iteritems():
df.loc[index, k.strip()] = v[0].strip().lower()
return df
def typo_correct(urlparams, df, dictionary):
for index, row in df.iterrows():
for w in urlparams:
if df.loc[index,w] == None or len(df.loc[index,w])<2 or w == 'account':
pass
else:
high = 0.0
word = None
for item in dictionary:
prob = lev.ratio(str(df.loc[index,w]), item)
if prob == 1.0:
high = prob
word = str(df.loc[index, w])
continue
elif prob > high:
high = prob
word = item+"*"
else:
pass
if high != 1.0:
df.loc[index,w] = word
df.loc[index, 'Fix'] = "X"
return df
Basically it parses out the query parameters, and puts them into a dictionary. The script takes the keys and creates headers in the dataframe, then the first function above iterates through and puts the values in the correct location.
The second one then goes through each value and checks if it's in a dictionary text file and uses the Levenshtein edit distance to find the right word in the case of a typo.
I'm not sure if this is something that can be done using map or apply as I haven't been working with Pandas long. Does anyone have any suggestions?
