How to build a simple RSS reader in Python 3.7?
Solution 1
A few things.
1) First feed['feed']['title']
does not exist.
2) At least for this site entry.author, entry.tags
do not exist
3) It seems feedparser is not compatible with python3.7 (it gives me KeyError, "object doesn't have key 'category'
)
So as a starting point try to run the following code in python 3.6 and go from there.
import feedparser
import webbrowser
feed = feedparser.parse("https://finance.yahoo.com/rss/")
# feed_title = feed['feed']['title'] # NOT VALID
feed_entries = feed.entries
for entry in feed.entries:
article_title = entry.title
article_link = entry.link
article_published_at = entry.published # Unicode string
article_published_at_parsed = entry.published_parsed # Time object
# article_author = entry.author DOES NOT EXIST
content = entry.summary
# article_tags = entry.tags DOES NOT EXIST
print ("{}[{}]".format(article_title, article_link))
print ("Published at {}".format(article_published_at))
# print ("Published by {}".format(article_author))
print("Content {}".format(content))
# print("catagory{}".format(article_tags))
Good luck.

You can also use xml parser libraries like beatifulsoup (https://www.crummy.com/software/BeautifulSoup/bs4/doc/) and create custom parsers. A sample customer parser code can be found here (https://github.com/vintageplayer/RSS-Parser). A walk through the same can read here (https://towardsdatascience.com/rss-feed-parser-in-python-553b1857055c)
Though libraries can be useful, beautifulsoup is an extremely handy library to try out.

I built a simple RSS reader on Python and it is not working. In addition, I want to get the featured image source link of every post and I didn't find a way to do so.
it shows me the Error: Traceback (most recent call last): File "RSS_reader.py", line 7, in feed_title = feed['feed']['title']
If there are some other RSS feeds that work fine. So I don't understand why there are some RSS feeds that are working and others that aren't
So I would like to understand why the code doesn't work and also how to get the featured image source link of a post I attached the code, is written on Python 3.7
import feedparser import webbrowser feed = feedparser.parse("https://finance.yahoo.com/rss/") feed_title = feed['feed']['title'] feed_entries = feed.entries for entry in feed.entries: article_title = entry.title article_link = entry.link article_published_at = entry.published # Unicode string article_published_at_parsed = entry.published_parsed # Time object article_author = entry.author content = entry.summary article_tags = entry.tags print ("{}[{}]".format(article_title, article_link)) print ("Published at {}".format(article_published_at)) print ("Published by {}".format(article_author)) print("Content {}".format(content)) print("catagory{}".format(article_tags))

Terry Windwalker about 3 yearsCan anyone confirm that whether feedparser is supported for now? It says it requires Python >= 3.6 at the moment.
