I am trying to extract only actual content/text from given input URL using newspaper package in python3. I have succeded in doing so but one of my URL consists of multiple tumblr posts in the same page.
In the below URL I want content of first post only i.e., paragraph starting with "The Karnataka Assembly election 2018 result is close to being known as vote counting is underway on Tuesday, "
https://poonamparekh.tumblr.com/post/173920050130/karnataka-election-results-modi-rallies-set-to
In my working while extracting content from above URL instead of first post I am getting 6th post content as my output. But that's not what I need. I require first post to be as my output. Can anyone help me out in achieving this ?
Here is my code:
from newspaper import Article
url="https://poonamparekh.tumblr.com/post/173920050130/karnataka-election-results-modi-rallies-set-to"
print(url)
article = Article(url, language='en')
article.download()
article.download_state
print('articlee_state : ',article.download_state)
if article.download_state == 2:
try:
article.parse()
result=article.text[0]
print(result[:150])
if result=='':
print('----MESSAGE : No description written for this post')
except Exception as e:
print(e)
