NOT ⛔ pip3 install newspaper ⛔
On python3 you must install newspaper3k, not newspaper. newspaper is our python2 library. Although installing newspaper is simple with pip, you will run into fixable issues if you are trying to install on ubuntu.
If you are on Debian / Ubuntu, install using the following:
Install
pip3command needed to installnewspaper3kpackage:$ sudo apt-get install python3-pipPython development version, needed for Python.h:
$ sudo apt-get install python-devlxml requirements:
$ sudo apt-get install libxml2-dev libxslt-devFor PIL to recognize .jpg images:
$ sudo apt-get install libjpeg-dev zlib1g-dev libpng12-dev
NOTE: If you find problem installing libpng12-dev, try installing libpng-dev.
Download NLP related corpora:
$ curl https://raw.githubusercontent.com/codelucas/newspaper/master/download_corpora.py | python3Install the distribution via pip:
$ pip3 install newspaper3k
If you are on OSX, install using the following, you may use both homebrew or macports:
$ brew install libxml2 libxslt
$ brew install libtiff libjpeg webp little-cms2
$ pip3 install newspaper3k
$ curl https://raw.githubusercontent.com/codelucas/newspaper/master/download_corpora.py | python3Otherwise, install with the following:

python-dev
$ pip3 install newspaper3k
$ curl https://raw.githubusercontent.com/codelucas/newspaper/master/download_corpora.py | python3This service is already used around the world by startups, top news organizations (CNN, NYT, etc), graduate school researchers, and, of course, hackers like you :) If you or your company are interested in more advanced features like: increased NLP and scraping accuracy, mis-information, fake news, author credibility, boosted coverage and accuracy for your use case, and etc; feel free to email & contact me for consulting.
