News API is a simple JSON-based REST API for searching and retrieving news articles from all over the web. Using this, one can fetch the top stories running on a news website or can search top news on a specific topic (or keyword).
News can be retrieved based on some criteria. Say the topic (keyword) to be searched is ‘GeeksforLazyroar’ or might be concerned to a specific channel. All can be done, but the API key is needed to get started.
Steps : 1. Visit https://newsapi.org/ to get your own API key. 2. Install requests package.
Below is the implementation of the above idea :
Python3
# importing requests packageimport requests def NewsFromBBC(): # BBC news api # following query parameters are used # source, sortBy and apiKey query_params = { "source": "bbc-news", "sortBy": "top", "apiKey": "4dbc17e007ab436fb66416009dfb59a8" } # fetching data in json format res = requests.get(main_url, params=query_params) open_bbc_page = res.json() # getting all articles in a string article article = open_bbc_page["articles"] # empty list which will # contain all trending news results = [] for ar in article: results.append(ar["title"]) for i in range(len(results)): # printing all trending news print(i + 1, results[i]) #to read the news out loud for us from win32com.client import Dispatch speak = Dispatch("SAPI.Spvoice") speak.Speak(results) # Driver Codeif __name__ == '__main__': # function call NewsFromBBC() |
Output :
1 Italy to lift coronavirus travel restrictions 2 White House 'Operation Warp Speed' to look for Covid jab 3 Two Americas in the nation's capital 4 Kobe Bryant helicopter crash post-mortem released 5 Little things people are doing while socially distanced 6 The last 'normal' photo on your phone 7 'They came to kill the mothers' 8 EU-UK Brexit trade talks in trouble 9 Trial starts to see if dogs can 'sniff out' virus 10 Beatles photographer Astrid Kirchherr dies aged 81
Note: Output may change based on the top articles at the time.
Approach 2:
This approach will work as a cherry on a cake because it will display the news according to the category entered by the user so as work as a filter for those who want to know the news in a particular category/section.
First of all install newsapi and pycountry in your system if it’s not there the install using the command below:
~ pip install newsapi-python ~ pip install pycountry
Python3
from newsapi import NewsApiClientimport pycountry# you have to get your api key from newapi.com and then paste it belownewsapi = NewsApiClient(api_key='Your API Key')# now we will take name of country from user as inputinput_country = input("Country: ")input_countries = [f'{input_country.strip()}']countries = {}# iterate over all the countries in# the world using pycountry modulefor country in pycountry.countries: # and store the unique code of each country # in the dictionary along with it's full name countries[country.name] = country.alpha_2# now we will check that the entered country name is# valid or invalid using the unique codecodes = [countries.get(country.title(), 'Unknown code') for country in input_countries]# now we have to display all the categories from which user will# decide and enter the name of that categoryoption = input("Which category are you interested in?\n1.Business\n2.Entertainment\n3.General\n4.Health\n5.Science\n6.Technology\n\nEnter here: ")# now we will fetch the new according to the choice of the usertop_headlines = newsapi.get_top_headlines( # getting top headlines from all the news channels category=f'{option.lower()}', language='en', country=f'{codes[0].lower()}') # fetch the top news under that category Headlines = top_headlines['articles'] # now we will display the that news with a good readability for user if Headlines: for articles in Headlines: b = articles['title'][::-1].index("-") if "news" in (articles['title'][-b+1:]).lower(): print( f"{articles['title'][-b+1:]}: {articles['title'][:-b-2]}.") else: print( f"{articles['title'][-b+1:]} News: {articles['title'][:-b-2]}.") else: print( f"Sorry no articles found for {input_country}, Something Wrong!!!") option = input("Do you want to search again[Yes/No]?") if option.lower() == 'yes': continue else: exit() |
