Python-Goose - Article Extractor

Intro

Goose was originally an article extractor written in Java that has most recently (Aug2011) been converted to a scala project.

This is a complete rewrite in Python. The aim of the software is to take any news article or article-type web page and not only extract what is the main body of the article but also all meta data and most probable image candidate.

Goose will try to extract the following information:

• Main text of an article
• Main image of article
• Any YouTube/Vimeo movies embedded in article
• Meta Description
• Meta tags

The Python version was rewritten by:

• Xavier Grangier

Take it for a spin

>>> from goose import Goose
>>> url = 'http://edition.cnn.com/2012/02/22/world/europe/uk-occupy-london/index.html?hpt=ieu_c2'
>>> g = Goose()
>>> article = g.extract(url=url)
>>> article.title
u'Occupy London loses eviction fight'
>>> article.meta_description
"Occupy London protesters who have been camped outside the landmark St. Paul's Cathedral for the past four months lost their court bid to avoid eviction Wednesday in a decision made by London's Court of Appeal."

Configuration

There are two ways to pass configuration to goose. The first one is to pass goose a Configuration() object. The second one is to pass a configuration dict.

For instance, if you want to change the userAgent used by Goose just pass:

>>> g = Goose({'browser_user_agent': 'Mozilla'})

Switching parsers : Goose can now be used with lxml html parser or lxml soup parser. By default the html parser is used. If you want to use the soup parser pass it in the configuration dict :

>>> g = Goose({'browser_user_agent': 'Mozilla', 'parser_class':'soup'})

Goose is now language aware

For example, scraping a Spanish content page with correct meta language tags:

>>> from goose import Goose
>>> url = 'http://sociedad.elpais.com/sociedad/2012/10/27/actualidad/1351332873_157836.html'
>>> g = Goose()
>>> article = g.extract(url=url)
>>> article.title
u'Las listas de espera se agravan'
>>> article.cleaned_text[:150]
u'Los recortes pasan factura a los pacientes. De diciembre de 2010 a junio de 2012 las listas de espera para operarse aumentaron un 125%. Hay m\xe1s ciudad'

Some pages don't have correct meta language tags, you can force it using configuration :

>>> from goose import Goose
>>> url = 'http://www.elmundo.es/elmundo/2012/10/28/espana/1351388909.html'
>>> g = Goose({'use_meta_language': False, 'target_language':'es'})
>>> article = g.extract(url=url)
>>> article.cleaned_text[:150]
u'Importante golpe a la banda terrorista ETA en Francia. La Guardia Civil ha detenido en un hotel de Macon, a 70 kil\xf3metros de Lyon, a Izaskun Lesaka y '

Passing {'use_meta_language': False, 'target_language':'es'} will forcibly select Spanish.

Video extraction

>>> import goose
>>> url = 'http://www.liberation.fr/politiques/2013/08/12/journee-de-jeux-pour-ayrault-dans-les-jardins-de-matignon_924350'
>>> g = goose.Goose({'target_language':'fr'})
>>> article = g.extract(url=url)
>>> article.movies
[<goose.videos.videos.Video object at 0x25f60d0>]
>>> article.movies[0].src
'http://sa.kewego.com/embed/vp/?language_code=fr&playerKey=1764a824c13c&configKey=dcc707ec373f&suffix=&sig=9bc77afb496s&autostart=false'
>>> article.movies[0].embed_code
'<iframe src="http://sa.kewego.com/embed/vp/?language_code=fr&amp;playerKey=1764a824c13c&amp;configKey=dcc707ec373f&amp;suffix=&amp;sig=9bc77afb496s&amp;autostart=false" frameborder="0" scrolling="no" width="476" height="357"/>'
>>> article.movies[0].embed_type
'iframe'
>>> article.movies[0].width
'476'
>>> article.movies[0].height
'357'

Goose in Chinese

Some users want to use Goose for Chinese content. Chinese word segmentation is way more difficult to deal with than occidental languages. Chinese needs a dedicated StopWord analyser that need to be passed to the config object.

>>> from goose import Goose
>>> from goose.text import StopWordsChinese
>>> url  = 'http://www.bbc.co.uk/zhongwen/simp/chinese_news/2012/12/121210_hongkong_politics.shtml'
>>> g = Goose({'stopwords_class': StopWordsChinese})
>>> article = g.extract(url=url)
>>> print article.cleaned_text[:150]

Known issues

• There are some issues with unicode URLs.

• Cookie handling : Some websites need cookie handling. At the moment the only work around is to use the raw_html extraction. For instance:

  >>> import urllib2
  >>> import goose
  >>> url = "http://www.nytimes.com/2013/08/18/world/middleeast/pressure-by-us-failed-to-sway-egypts-leaders.html?hp"
  >>> opener = urllib2.build_opener(urllib2.HTTPCookieProcessor())
  >>> response = opener.open(url)
  >>> raw_html = response.read()
  >>> g = goose.Goose()
  >>> a = g.extract(raw_html=raw_html)
  >>> a.cleaned_text
