Quick and dirty date parsing Python library to parse HTML dates really fast
This tool helps news aggregators, researchers, or anyone building an RSS feed from scratch to quickly extract dates from website content. It takes messy date strings found in HTML pages and converts them into a standard date and time format. This is ideal for anyone who needs to process large volumes of web-scraped data, especially news articles, where speed and accuracy for common date formats are crucial.
Available on PyPI.
Use this if you need to rapidly extract and standardize dates from a high volume of scraped HTML content, especially for news or article aggregation.
Not ideal if you need to parse highly unusual date formats, require extensive language support beyond those listed, or need to handle relative dates like "yesterday."
