News Source and Historical News
1. Client want to get the all the new of NewsWires, Global Press or Web News, but using the "Source=" keyword with [NEWSWIRE], [NEWSROOM] or [WEBNEWS] not work.
Is there any way to do that ?
2. Any "Topic" keyword under Newsroom (Global Press) and Web News seems not work now. e.g. "EIUVIE", "SEECOM". Is Python API can only get the news under News Wires ?
3. Client try to download old news e.g. Light Crude <CLc1> from year 2000 to 2016.
ek.get_news_headlines("R:CLc1", date_from="2000-01-01T00:00:00", date_to="2016-01-01T00:00:00", count=1000)
But not success. Is there any time limit for downloading news thru scripting API ?
Hi,
About the point 3, we can't retrieve news headline oldest than 15 months (oldest news headline for R:CLc1 is from 2016-05-02). In addition, it seems that the platform rejects request for more than 100 items.
Following request returns data:
ek.get_news_headlines("R:CLc1", date_from="2000-01-01T00:00:00", date_to="2016-05-03T00:00:00", count=100)
ic, thanks for solving my puzzles.
How about point 2?
I am no long able to get any news from the categories "NEWSROOM" and "WEBNEWS" with the get_news_headlines. It used to work on the days before yesterday.
I just received the response.
One month ago, News service started to expose NewsRoom and WebNews categories. It's a bug that was fixed.
Currently, Python News API access is limited to News Wires.
Oh...But I think this is a valuable feature for us, would you consider to make it exposing to those categories again in the future?
Thanks
Hello to all,
I am trying to download news from Newsroom for a particular newspaper only. I am not quite sure how to make the API search in the right place but at the moment I am interested at whether the Python News API is now able to access news wires.
