Web server app that crawls and saves news articles, provides article API for research

Experimental

This tool helps social science researchers gather and analyze news articles. It automatically collects full-text articles and their associated metadata from various online news sources, then makes them available through a structured API. Researchers can then use their preferred R or Python tools to access and analyze this clean, organized news data.

No commits in the last 6 months.

Use this if you need to systematically collect, store, and access the full text and rich metadata of news articles for social science research, without having to build your own scraping infrastructure from scratch.

Not ideal if you only need occasional data from a few articles, or if you prefer a pre-hosted service where you don't manage your own server.
