def download_stuff(identifier, data):

    attachment_url = attachments[0].get("attachment_url", "")

    try:
        response = requests.get(attachment_url, timeout=300)

        return (False, "")

def test1():
    requests.get("https://api.tld")
    requests.get("https://api.tld/user/{0}".format(user_id))
    requests.get(f"https://api.tld/user/{user_id}")
    requests.get(f"http://localhost.tld/user/{user_id}") # localhost and 127.0.0.1 are safe
