news-fetch is an open source, easy-to-use news crawler that extracts structured information from almost any news website. It can follow recursively internal hyperlinks and read RSS feeds to fetch both most recent and also old, archived articles. You only need to provide the root URL of the news website to crawl it completely. news-fetch combines the power of multiple state-of-the-art libraries and tools, such as news-please - Felix Hamborg and Newspaper3K - Lucas (欧阳象) Ou-Yang. This package consist of both features provided my Felix's work and Lucas' work.
I built this to reduce most of NaN or '' or [] or 'None' values while scraping for some news websites. Platform-independent and written in Python 3. This package can be very easily used by programmers and developers to provide access to the news data to their programs.
