Apps for Scraping News Data From News Websites

Miles Remnand 2 months ago 3 min read

If you like keeping a tab on the latest news and are constantly scrolling through feeds, you’ll naturally feel frustrated when important things happen, only to discover them when it’s too late. Fortunately, there are tools you can use to scrape news articles to customize your feed. This post discusses apps that aggregate news articles into one space for easy access.

How to Scrape News Data From Different Websites

For naïve data scrapers, the process is as easy as visiting each website and scraping its HTML from the RSS feed. But since many websites restrict their API use, scraping website data is not easy. Before gathering news data from a website, you must create a friendly environment for web crawling using a programming language with relevant libraries.

Programming languages like Rust offer more helpful libraries for creating superior news data scraping tools. In this tutorial, you will discover easy ways to scrape news sites and aggregate enough valuable data within minutes.

Newsdata.io

Newsdata.io is a robust news data scraping tool based on JSON that can crawl over 3,000 news websites and supports over 30 languages. This data scraping tool has many features, including the ability to extract different types of information from each article. It gathers data such as the article’s title, the author, the date it was published, and the category in which it was placed on a particular page.

It has two API versions – one for scraping articles and the other for native mobile apps. Newsdata.io allows you to use RSS feeds to dig up articles and scrape them. It may take longer to gather data from different websites, but it is worth it if you want to consolidate all your feeds into one place.

Also, it takes time to set up your RSS feeds, but the rest will be pretty easy after you configure them correctly. With this news scraping tool, you can add filters limiting the tags or categories to display in your feed.

Octoparse

Octoparse is a free tool that scrapes news data from well-known and fast-growing news websites. It lets you install an API key on the site for the app to access the content. The application sends text messages/emails when a target news website makes an update.

This great little scraper can import data from virtually any type and size of a news website. It handles both direct URL and RSS feeds scraping. Octoparse has a built-in proxy system that allows you to scrape data from websites that don’t support RSS feeds, including government agencies and private corporations.

ScrapingBee

If you want to access updated information on the hottest Hollywood releases, news headlines, and best product deals, ScrapingBee can scrape and aggregate all of those in one place. This data scraping tool is easy to use and has both desktop and mobile versions. With ScrapingBee, you can extract data from leading news websites such as Business Insider, GuruFocus, CNN, Euronews, and more.

It supports multiple categories, including US politics, technology and science, and international news. With its offline mode feature, you can access your scraped data even when your device is not connected to the internet. Other unique app features include automatic synchronization, content organization, integrated translator, and quick portfolio view.

ScrapingBot

If you’re looking for a quick way to access the latest news but don’t have the time to read the hundreds of pages on the Wall Street Journal or New York Times, scraping with ScrapingBot is the safest bet. This powerful and user-friendly data scraping tool can scrape articles, headlines, and stories from news websites.

Its URL and headline automatic-saving features let you automatically save article content in your clipboard. Additionally, this simple scraping framework is fast. It can pinpoint and scrape virtually any type of news data from websites within minutes.

Be an Informed Person

Most people rely on news websites as a source of information and news. Sadly, many such sites apply subscription services and paywalls to limit how much data you can access freely. The good thing is there are many resources for you to access restricted information without forking out a cent. Known as scraping tools or scripts, the resources are just a Google search away.
