New Recipe - google news - i wonder why it isn't here

[VoHegg]

Hi again,
as i say above, i wonder why there is no google news feed recipe! Everyone 'googles' information!
So i wrote a recipe which everyone could modify to his needs

I upload two samples here:

First one is - regards to Kovid Goyal - a google news feed with indian content.

It's THIS one.

And hi again,
here is the same source for a german news content.
Look here

THIS one.

Whats happend here?

class google_news_sample(BasicNewsRecipe):
    # variables you should change to fit your requests!
    # here are a sample for an english speaking user intrested in ebook content and news from Denver Colorado
    #       
    searchfor = 'ebook'		# a serarch topic, filled into the string below. You can change that to anything google news should be searched for...
    my_language_id = 'en' 	# may us, de,  or other.... change this if you want
    location	= 'DenverCo'

     # Titel of the Recipe - this is a sample
    title = 'Google News sample'
    cover_url = 'https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/d/da/Google_News_icon.svg/500px-Google_News_icon.svg.png'
    # Author
    __author__ = 'Volker Heggemann, VoHe'

# delete some stuff here
    
# feel free to add, wipe out what you need	 							---- can be edit by user
    #
    feeds          = [
                       ('Google news for '+location, 
                            'https://news.google.com/news/rss/headlines/section/geo/'+location),
                       ('Google news intrested in '+searchfor, 
                            'https://news.google.com/news?cf=all&hl='+my_language_id+'+&pz=1&ned='+my_language_id+'&q='+searchfor+'&output=rss'),
                     ]

because of the variables above the URL's this:

('Google news for '+location,'https://news.google.com/news/rss/headlines/section/geo/'+location)

changes to:

('Google news for DenverCo','https://news.google.com/news/rss/headlines/section/geo/DenverCo')

and this:

('Google news intrested in '+searchfor,'https://news.google.com/news?cf=all&hl='+my_language_id+'+&pz=1&ned='+my_language_id+'&q='+searchfor+'&output=rss')

now is:

('Google news intrested in ebook','https://news.google.com/news?cf=all&hl=en+&pz=1&ned=en&q=ebook&output=rss')

that's the whole trick.
So if YOU change the variables at the beginning (and may you need the news.google.com URL to the one of your country) you can get news for any place and any theme you intressted in.

Mostly because there is not much point since it has to be customised to be useable.

[VoHegg]

That's i reason i understand.
But that people using the recipies, could do this i guess....

But, may you are right, there should be a ready to uses google news recipe... wait, i test something...

[VoHegg]

Hi folks,

may this is what 'they' want.

With a little Python code the recipe get the location for your IP address.
And from this point, there is a chance to load the google news feeds.

In this sample i build a newspaper of three themes:

Google Topnews for your country code ('de' in my case)
Google news for your local city (a town in lower saxony in my case)
Google news for a keyword you set inside the recipe (i set 'computer' here)

and et voila, you got offline, whats mostly online works correct.

Is this usable?!

oh, i forgot.
I name the title in recipe with the variable country_code.
In my case the recipe will be named as Google News de.
For someone from England, it will be named as Goolge News en
