Project description
cgtnfeed
A python package which collects information from CGTN (China Global TV Network)
Background
CGTN is a international media from China. Their website is very slow. It is probably because the servers are in China, there are a lot of animations on their website, and the size of the image is very large.
This project is a web scrapper that will collect important information from the website so we won't need to open the website to get informations.
Currently this project collects the titles of the top news from CGTN. In the long run, I will add more data to collect and then make the API.
How to use
Top News
The function get_top_news() returns a list of dictionary. The dictionary currently has
three key-value pairs.
Key
----
title
time
category
Example code:
import cgtnfeed
top_news = cgtnfeed.get_top_news()
for news in top_news:
print(news['title'])
This will print something like this:
Xi Jinping to attend UNGA General Debate via video link
Beijing hails 'advancement in quality of democracy' in Hong Kong
China launches Tianzhou-3 cargo spacecraft for space station mission
Chinese ambassador: U.S.-UK-Australia pact 'extremely irresponsible'
U.S. launches mass expulsion of Haitian migrants from Texas
