Get it now

Run ✅ pip3 install newspaper3k

NOT ⛔ pip3 install newspaper

On python3 you must install newspaper3k, not newspaper. newspaper is our python2 library. Although installing newspaper is simple with pip, you will run into fixable issues if you are trying to install on ubuntu.

If you are on Debian / Ubuntu, install using the following:

  • Install pip3 command needed to install newspaper3k package:

    $ sudo apt-get install python3-pip
  • Python development version, needed for Python.h:

    $ sudo apt-get install python-dev
  • lxml requirements:

    $ sudo apt-get install libxml2-dev libxslt-dev
  • For PIL to recognize .jpg images:

    $ sudo apt-get install libjpeg-dev zlib1g-dev libpng12-dev

NOTE: If you find problem installing libpng12-dev, try installing libpng-dev.

  • Download NLP related corpora:

    $ curl https://raw.githubusercontent.com/codelucas/newspaper/master/download_corpora.py | python3
  • Install the distribution via pip:

    $ pip3 install newspaper3k

If you are on OSX, install using the following, you may use both homebrew or macports:

$ brew install libxml2 libxslt

$ brew install libtiff libjpeg webp little-cms2

$ pip3 install newspaper3k

$ curl https://raw.githubusercontent.com/codelucas/newspaper/master/download_corpora.py | python3

Otherwise, install with the following:

NOTE: You will still most likely need to install the following libraries via your package manager

  • PIL: libjpeg-dev zlib1g-dev libpng12-dev

  • lxml: libxml2-dev libxslt-dev

  • Python Development version: python-dev

$ pip3 install newspaper3k

$ curl https://raw.githubusercontent.com/codelucas/newspaper/master/download_corpora.py | python3

Consulting

This service is already used around the world by startups, top news organizations (CNN, NYT, etc), graduate school researchers, and, of course, hackers like you :) If you or your company are interested in more advanced features like: increased NLP and scraping accuracy, mis-information, fake news, author credibility, boosted coverage and accuracy for your use case, and etc; feel free to email & contact me for consulting.

Donations

Your donations are greatly appreciated! They will free me up to work on this project more, to take on things like: adding new features, bug-fix support, addressing concerns with the library.

Development

If you’d like to contribute and hack on the newspaper project, feel free to clone a development version of this repository locally:

git clone git://github.com/codelucas/newspaper.git

Once you have a copy of the source, you can embed it in your Python package, or install it into your site-packages easily:
