Scraping_Inshorts

Django tool to scrape news from inshorts.com for a given date and storing them in json files

How to run the program?

>>> cd Inshorts/
>>> python3 manage.py runserver

You will then be prompted to a page with today's news displayed.

1. Choose the ones you want to keep.
2. Or you could select news from some other date by choosing the required date in the date field.

Use?

The news selected will be written to write_yes.json and the ones not selected into write_no.json. This can thus be used to acquire data for use in some classification tasks. I built this tool primarily to select news suitable for school children(cuss words are taken care of!).

Please note: If you want to empty the json files, you can do so. But please make sure the file then contains a '[]' after emptying(as is now).
