I implemented articles in application.py Pset8. Everything seems ok except i only get articles from theonion and not from actual google news.Here's the code :
def articles():
"""Look up articles for geo."""
#retrieving geo value from HTML form
location = request.args.get("geo")
if not location:
raise RuntimeError("geo value not sent")
#lookup
article = lookup(location)
#jsonify
return jsonify(article[0:5])
Here's the code for lookup function ,given in the distribution code.
def lookup(geo):
"""Looks up articles for geo."""
# check cache for geo
if geo in lookup.cache:
return lookup.cache[geo]
# get feed from Google
feed = feedparser.parse("http://news.google.com/news?geo={}&output=rss".format(urllib.parse.quote(geo, safe="")))
# if no items in feed, get feed from Onion
if not feed["items"]:
feed = feedparser.parse("http://www.theonion.com/feeds/rss")
# cache results
lookup.cache[geo] = [{"link": item["link"], "title": item["title"]} for item in feed["items"]]
# return results
return lookup.cache[geo]
# initialize cache
lookup.cache = {}
Even if i use different values for geo, it returns theonion RSS feed.Is there any problem in the code? Help me with this. Thanks :)
