news-summerizer

A lightweight Python package that turns concise news headlines or short snippets into structured summaries in a simple XML‑like format.
The output is well‑defined and machine‑readable, making the data usable for news aggregation, content tagging, or quick briefing generation.

Features

• Extract key facts from a headline or short text: event, location, involved parties, significance.
• Output is constrained by a regular expression so the result is always predictable.
• Works with any LangChain BaseChatModel, falling back to the default LLM7 model.
• Zero‑configuration: install once, drop into any project and call news_summerizer.

Installation

pip install news_summerizer

Quick Example

from news_summerizer import news_summerizer

user_input = (
    "Tesla's new Gigafactory in Austin expands production capacity for the Model 3 "
    "and the new Cybertruck, boosting U.S. manufacturing jobs."
)

summary = news_summerizer(user_input)
print(summary)
# [
#   "<summary>",
#   "  <event>Expanding production capacity</event>",
#   "  <location>Austin</location>",
#   "  <parties>Tesla, Model 3, Cybertruck</parties>",
#   "  <significance>Boosts U.S. manufacturing jobs</significance>",
#   "</summary>"
# ]

Parameters

Custom LLMs

news_summerizer works with any LangChain model. Simply pass your own model instance:

OpenAI

from langchain_openai import ChatOpenAI
from news_summerizer import news_summerizer

llm = ChatOpenAI()
summary = news_summerizer(user_input, llm=llm)

Anthropic

from langchain_anthropic import ChatAnthropic
from news_summerizer import news_summerizer

llm = ChatAnthropic()
summary = news_summerizer(user_input, llm=llm)

Google Gemini

from langchain_google_genai import ChatGoogleGenerativeAI
from news_summerizer import news_summerizer

llm = ChatGoogleGenerativeAI()
summary = news_summerizer(user_input, llm=llm)

LLM7 API Key

The default free tier of LLM7 is usually sufficient. For higher rate limits:

• Set the LLM7_API_KEY environment variable, or
• Pass the key directly: news_summerizer(user_input, api_key="your_api_key")

Free API keys can be obtained by registering at https://token.llm7.io/.
