Project description

finscraper

Build Status Documentation Status

finscraper cover

The library provides an easy-to-use API for fetching data from various Finnish websites:

Website URL Type Spider API class
IltaSanomat https://www.is.fi News article finscraper.spiders.ISArticle
Iltalehti https://www.iltalehti.fi News article finscraper.spiders.ILArticle

Documentation is available at https://www.finscraper.readthedocs.io.

Installation

pip install finscraper

Quickstart

Fetch 10 news articles as a pandas DataFrame from IltaSanomat:

from finscraper.spiders import ISArticle

spider = ISArticle().scrape(10)

articles = spider.get()

Contributing

When websites change, spiders tend to break. I can't make a promise to keep this repository up-to-date all by myself - pull requests are more than welcome!
