What to use, multithreading or multiprocessing?

Question

Python

Good afternoon.
The task is to parse data from vk.com with some periodicity.
I can not understand what is better to use for parallel data processing (data must be written to the database).
There are several VK accounts that collect information about users in the group. Before that, the multiprocessing module was used. Now the question arose, can threads be used for such things?
Please explain which is better to use.

Answer 1

multithreading - for I/O operations
multiprocessing - for computing

Answer 2

asyncio
