Looking for a script/java prog to get news... - Anyone know of anything like this?

Hi,

you might want to check out iSyndicate.com
It would certainly be possible to make a cgi script that does what you want but it would probably to be illegal to use it, because you basically steel the information.

Later,

Actually it is legal (or so I have heard)
see: http://www.newsnow.co.uk/ for a good example.

I would also want a script like this and would be willing to barter for it if there is interest (in which case I will bring this post to the appropriate forum)

Why wouldnt it be copyright infringement?

If you want news from Reuters on your site, you have to pay cuz its their property.

Anybody know otherwise?

I have one little perl script that does that, and by the way, I don't think is illegal if a link goes to the news source.
My site is in Spanish so I set the script to retrieve the headline news from the yahoo / finance section in spanish. Is very fast and can be used with SSI to stick it wherever you want on your site. Also each headline has a brief story introduction.

There is another very good resource you may want to check, is at: www.newshub.com

sergiob,
Could you post a URL to a page where this script is up and running please...
Thanks,
JP

Sergio,

He visto que la pagina que diste anteriormente no trabaja. Tienes otra pagina que yo pueda ver?

Saludos,

Naganu

check http://www.buscanegocios.com/homepage.shtm
It's still not ready though.
I write in English so nobody feels excluded
I was thinking in proposing an Spanish thread on these forums but then I thought some people may not like it, or there may not be enough people to participate... anyways it was just a thought.

Saludos,
Sergio

Sergio, I am comming back to this thread to see if you could give us some info on how you did it?

I have made 4 PHP scripts to get news headlines from Yahoo!, News.com, CNN, and ABCNEWS.

If you guys want them, post a reply here and I'll send it to you.

Hi Polpus, If you don't mind I would like to have a copy of the scripts.
You think it could be possible to adapt it to retrieve the news from the same sites but in their Spanish versions?
my email is [email protected]

Thanks compadre

Hi,

You're welcome JP
robp what would you like to know?

sergiob, Well, I would like to know how you did it ! , How do you loook into a certain area of the page for the headlines, what did you use to connect to the site etc .

I'll take one of each please Polpus. [email protected]

Ok, due to popular demand I have decided to make a short documentation, zip it up, and upload it.

Feel free to modify the HTML/layout but *please* keep the credit with the link back.

It's available at http://www.web-reviews.com/newsflash1b.zip

P.S: The one for CNN doesn't get the first two headlines (because the HTML is different) but there are still 8 more headlines

Thank you Polpus!
Man...that PHP seems very readable I think I'll pratice some.

I'll use the scripts when I get a server with PHP. The one I have now doesn't support it

What about something like this:
