This example scrapes press releases from pressreleasepoint.com, saving each article’s text to individual files while printing both the download URL and content to the console. It demonstrates web scraping with BeautifulSoup and requests, iterating through 2,497 paginated index pages and extracting text from the `content-press_release` class. The script handles missing links with a broad exception pass, outputs verbose progress logs, and organizes saved files by page and index.

Script to download all fox news press releases. Prints verbose output to console and file.

This example scrapes Fox News press releases from the press archive for years 2011–2017, organized by month, and saves each release as a separate text file. It uses BeautifulSoup and the `requests` library to parse HTML pages, extract article text from elements with class `hentry`, and prints verbose download progress and content to the console while writing files to a `press-releases/` directory. The script iterates through URL patterns for each year and month, handling missing pages silently.

Script to download all the CBS press releases. Prints verbose output to console and to file.

A script downloads every CBS Corporation press release from 2009 through 2017, saving each article’s text as a separate file in a `press-releases/` directory. It uses BeautifulSoup to parse HTML from both year-index pages and individual article pages, extracting the main content from the `entry-content` class. The code iterates through paginated year listings, printing each URL and the downloaded text to the console, and writes the text to numbered files. Requests handles the HTTP fetching, while `urljoin` and glob organize the file paths.

This example shows a dynamic, browser-automated web-scraping workflow that captures rendered page content. It uses Selenium’s `webdriver` to launch a Chrome browser, wait for elements via `WebDriverWait` and `expected_conditions`, and then extracts page HTML with BeautifulSoup. The script programmatically sends keyboard inputs via `Keys`, and also employs the `requests` library for direct HTTP calls. It parses the returned data with `json`, timestamps actions with `datetime`, and structures results into a pandas DataFrame. The process includes randomized delays (`random` and `time`) to mimic human browsing behavior, though no explicit visualization or rendering library is used beyond the raw captured markup.

A vanilla py-script to download all Pocket.com data via API.

This example demonstrates how to download a complete archive of all Pocket.com saved articles using the Pocket API. It shows the OAuth authentication flow, which opens a browser for user approval, then retrieves every article in batches of ten, displaying each article’s title and URL as it processes them. The script uses Python’s `requests` library to make HTTP POST calls to the Pocket API endpoints, along with the `json` module to parse responses and `subprocess` to trigger browser opening. It saves the full article list as a JSON file.

Buzzfeed article scraper for NLP

This example scrapes a Buzzfeed article and converts its text into clean, tokenized sentences for natural language processing. It shows the pipeline from raw HTML to normalized, sentence-segmented data. The scraper uses BeautifulSoup and requests to extract paragraph elements with the class `subbuzz-text`. Text cleaning relies on the `unicodedata` module and regex via `re`, while sentence tokenization uses NLTK’s Punkt tokenizer. The final output is a single string of joined sentences, ready for further NLP analysis.

A simple news crawler.

This example demonstrates a news crawler that fetches headlines from four Malaysian RSS feeds, extracts the full article text, and stores each story as a JSON file organized by publication date. The crawler uses `feedparser` to parse RSS feeds, `requests` to download article pages, and the `readability` library to isolate main content from HTML. `BeautifulSoup` cleans the extracted text, while `dateutil.parser` converts publication timestamps into structured day, month, and year fields. Each JSON file, saved in a local `collection` folder, contains the article’s cleaned content, original link, and parsed date components.

This example shows a browser-based text analytics pipeline that scrapes and processes web content before visualizing topic models. The code first uses Selenium with Chrome WebDriver to scrape data, then applies NLP libraries including NLTK, spaCy, TextBlob, and gensim’s LdaModel for topic modeling and coherence scoring. The final visualization employs Plotly’s `plotly.express` and `plotly.graph_objs` to render interactive charts, with `pyo.init_notebook_mode()` enabling notebook display. The rendering approach is evident from the use of `go` traces and `px` figures, though the specific chart type is not shown in the code snippet. The data source is dynamic web pages, as indicated by the Selenium scraping logic.

request-hn.js

This example scrapes the front page of Hacker News and prints a plain-text list of story titles and their links to the console. It uses the `request` library to fetch the HTML and `cheerio` to parse the DOM, selecting elements with the `.title a` selector. The data is collected into an array of objects with `text` and `href` properties, then logged via `console.log`. No visualization is rendered; the output is purely textual.
