FinNews 0.9.2

Package for gathering financial news from various RSS feeds

FinNews

This is a package to help me with a personal project dealing with sentiment analysis and headline classification. The package has a lot of influence from the newscatcher package. While that package is great for getting general news, I need more financial related news that I wasn't getting.

You can install using pip by downloading directly from Pypi:

$ pip install FinNews

or from this repo:

$ pip install git+https://github.com/scaratozzolo/FinNews

Example usage:

import FinNews as fn

cnbc_feed = fn.CNBC(topics=['*']) # '*' = all possible topics
print(cnbc_feed.get_news())
print(cnbc_feed.possible_topics())

Current RSS feeds and their classes:

• CNBC

fn.CNBC(topics=['finance', 'earnings'], save_feeds=True)

• Seeking Alpha

# SeekingAlpha has support for RSS feeds by ticker, tickers can be passed as a topic and are denoted by $XXX
fn.SeekingAlpha(topics=['financial', '$AAPL'], save_feeds=True)

• Investing.com

fn.Investing(topics=['all news', 'latest news'], save_feeds=True)

• WSJ

fn.WSJ(topics=['markets news', 'us business'], save_feeds=True)

• Yahoo Finance

# Yahoo Finance has support for RSS feeds by ticker, tickers can be passed as a topic and are denoted by $XXX
fn.Yahoo(topics=['top stories', '$DIS'], save_feeds=True)

• Financial Times

# not a lot of feeds
fn.FT(topics=['*'], save_feeds=True)
