Prerequisite– Python tkinter
In this article, we are going to write a python script to extract news articles from Google News Feed by using gnewsclient module and bind it with a GUI application. gnewsclient is a python client for Google News Feed. This API has to installed explicitly first in order to be used.
Installation
The following terminal command installs gnewsclient package along with all its required libraries. So, one just simply has to run this command in their terminal.
pip install gnewsclient
Using the module
- Import the gnewsclient module
- Create a NewsClient object and set current parameter settings
- Get news feed
Python3
# import modulefrom gnewsclient import gnewsclient# declare a NewsClient object client = gnewsclient.NewsClient(language='hindi', location='india', topic='Business', max_results=5)# get news feedclient.get_news() |
Output:
Following code depicts how other factors like location, language and topic can be printed from information collected by this module:
Python3
import gnewsclientfrom gnewsclient import gnewsclientclient = gnewsclient.NewsClient(language='hindi', location='india', topic='Business', max_results=5)# prints locationprint("Location: \n",client.locations)print()# prints languagesprint("Language \n",client.languages)print()# prints topicsprint("Topic \n",client.topics) |
Output:
Example:
Program 1:
Python3
from gnewsclient import gnewsclientclient = gnewsclient.NewsClient(language='english', location='india', topic='sports', max_results=3)news_list = client.get_news()for item in news_list: print("Title : ", item['title']) print("Link : ", item['link']) print("") |
Output:
Program 2: This code implements the methodology of program 1 in GUI.
Python3
# import modulesfrom tkinter import *from gnewsclient import gnewsclient# defined functionsdef news(): client = gnewsclient.NewsClient( language=lang.get(), location=loc.get(), topic=top.get(), max_results=3) news_list = client.get_news() result_title.set(news_list[0]["title"] + "\n" + news_list[1]["title"] + "\n" + news_list[2]["title"])# tkinter objectmaster = Tk()master.title("NEWS")# background set to greymaster.configure(bg='light grey')# Variable Classes in tkinterresult_title = StringVar()result_link = StringVar()# Creating label for each information# name using widget LabelLabel(master, text="Choose language :", bg="light grey").grid(row=0, sticky=W)Label(master, text="Choose Location :", bg="light grey").grid(row=1, sticky=W)Label(master, text="Choose Topic :", bg="light grey").grid(row=2, sticky=W)lang = Entry(master)lang.grid(row=0, column=1)loc = Entry(master)loc.grid(row=1, column=1)top = Entry(master)top.grid(row=2, column=1)# Creating label for class variable# name using widget EntryLabel(master, text="", textvariable=result_title, bg="light grey").grid(row=3, column=1, sticky=W)# creating a button using the widget# Button to call the submit functionButton(master, text="SHOW", command=news, bg="white").grid(row=1, column=3)mainloop() |
Output:
