News Scrapping and Generator

This Nappai component helps you get news articles tailored to your needs. It searches for news based on the category you choose, whether you want positive news, and the date you specify. The result is a ready-to-use news article with text and an image, perfect for your dashboard.

Relationship with News API

This component uses an external news API to find articles. This API provides a large database of news stories from various sources. The component then formats this information into a readable news article.

Inputs

  • Category: Choose the news category you’re interested in. Options include: Culture, Society, Science, Health, and Technology. The default is Culture.
  • Positive Sentiment: Select whether you want news with a positive tone. Choose ‘True’ for positive news or ‘False’ for any sentiment. The default is ‘True’.
  • Day of search: Specify the date for which you want to retrieve news. The default is today’s date.

Outputs

  • News Text: The component outputs the news article text in a readable format, including a title, subtitle, summary, and a reference to the included image.
  • News Image: An image related to the news article is provided.

Usage Example

Let’s say you want a positive news article about science from yesterday. You would:

  1. Set Category to “Science”.
  2. Set Positive Sentiment to “True”.
  3. Set Day of search to yesterday’s date (e.g., 2024-10-26).

The component will then fetch a relevant news article and display the text and image on your dashboard.

  • Check the date setting to ensure you’re getting the most up-to-date information.

Security Considerations

The component uses a secure API connection to retrieve news data. Nappai ensures the security of this connection and the handling of the retrieved data. No sensitive user information is transmitted during this process.
