A Python package that programmatically collects normalized news articles from thousands of news websites, filterable by topic, country, and language. It works out of the box without any API keys and is intended for prototyping and MVPs rather than production systems.

Use cases

  • collect news articles from a specific website in python
  • get latest headlines by topic like politics or tech
  • find news sources by country and language
  • build a news aggregation prototype
  • scrape normalized news data for a data science project
  • test an MVP that needs live news feeds

When to choose

  • you need quick, key-free access to news feeds in Python
  • you are prototyping or validating assumptions with news data
  • you want to filter news sources by topic, country, or language

When to avoid

  • you need a production-grade news pipeline with SLAs
  • you need full-text search or NLP enrichment at scale - consider the vendor's commercial News API
  • you need actively maintained software - the last release was in 2020
