This tool is used to scrape Google News articles based on the topic they're listed in.

First of all, open up Google News, and look through the topics listed in the top header of the webpage.

Click on a topic you wish to scrape.In this example we'll be using theBusiness topic.

Next, look at the URL in your browser and copy the string of characters that come after/topics/, that's your topic ID.

In the URL shown in the screenshot, the topic ID would beCAAqJggKIiBDQkFTRWdvSUwyMHZNRGx6TVdZU0FtVnVHZ0pWVXlnQVAB.

Save this value, you'll need it for scraping the articles.

To scrape articles from your selected topic, run this command in your terminal:make scrape TOPIC_ID=<your_selected_topic_id>

With theBusiness topic ID selected before, the command should look like this:

make scrape TOPIC_ID=CAAqJggKIiBDQkFTRWdvSUwyMHZNRGx6TVdZU0FtVnVHZ0pWVXlnQVAB

After running the command, you should see this in your terminal:

When the tool has finished running, you should see a file namedarticles.csv in the directory you were running the tool.

If you open the generated CSV file, the data should look something like this:

import requestsfrom pprint import pprint# Structure payload.payload = {    'source': 'google_search',    'domain': 'nl',`    'query': 'adidas',    'parse': True,    'context': [        {'key': 'tbm', 'value': 'nws'},    ],}# Get response.response = requests.post(    'https://realtime.oxylabs.io/v1/queries',    auth=('USERNAME', 'PASSWORD'),    json=payload,)# Print prettified response to stdout.pprint(response.json())
