- Feed Title and Posts
- Feed Details
Introduction
RSS (Rich Site Summary) is a format for delivering regularly changing web content. Many news-related sites, weblogs, and other online publishers syndicate their content as an RSS Feed to whoever wants it. In python, we take the help of the below package to read and process these feeds.
pip install feedparser
Feed Structure
In the below example we get the structure of the feed so that we can analyze further about which parts of the feed we want to process.
import feedparser
NewsFeed = feedparser.parse("https://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/rssfeedstopstories.cms")
entry = NewsFeed.entries[1]
print(entry.keys())
When we run the above program, we get the following output −
dict_keys(['title', 'title_detail', 'summary', 'summary_detail', 'links', 'link', 'id', 'guidislink', 'published', 'published_parsed'])Feed Title and Posts
In the below example we read the title and head of the RSS feed.
import feedparser
NewsFeed = feedparser.parse("https://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/rssfeedstopstories.cms")
print('Number of RSS posts :', len(NewsFeed.entries))
entry = NewsFeed.entries[1]
print('Post Title :',entry.title)
When we run the above program we get the following output −
Number of RSS posts : 19
Post Title : Live: Section 144 in Hathras ahead of Rahul's visitFeed Details
Based on the above entry structure we can derive the necessary details from the feed using the python program as shown below. As entry is a dictionary we utilize its keys to produce the values needed.
import feedparser
NewsFeed = feedparser.parse("https://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/rssfeedstopstories.cms")
entry = NewsFeed.entries[1]
print entry.published
print("******")
print(entry.summary)
print("------News Link--------")
print(entry.link)
When we run the above program we get the following output −
