Create a news summarization bot

Here’s a simple News Summarization Bot you can build using Python. This bot fetches news from an RSS feed or a provided URL, extracts the article content, and generates a summary using the sumy or transformers library. Below is a basic version using RSS feeds and the sumy summarizer for clarity and simplicity:

✅ Features:

• Fetch latest news from RSS feeds (e.g., BBC, CNN)

• Extract article content

• Summarize the news in a concise format

📦 Prerequisites

Install the following Python libraries:

bash
CopyEdit
pip install feedparser newspaper3k sumy

🧠 Code: News Summarization Bot

python
CopyEdit
import feedparser
from newspaper import Article
from sumy.parsers.plaintext import PlaintextParser
from sumy.nlp.tokenizers import Tokenizer
from sumy.summarizers.lsa import LsaSummarizer

def get_news_links(feed_url, limit=5):
    feed = feedparser.parse(feed_url)
    return [entry.link for entry in feed.entries[:limit]]

def extract_article_text(url):
    article = Article(url)
    article.download()
    article.parse()
    return article.title, article.text

def summarize_text(text, sentence_count=5):
    parser = PlaintextParser.from_string(text, Tokenizer("english"))
    summarizer = LsaSummarizer()
    summary = summarizer(parser.document, sentence_count)
    return " ".join(str(sentence) for sentence in summary)

def summarize_news_from_rss(rss_url):
    links = get_news_links(rss_url)
    for url in links:
        try:
            title, content = extract_article_text(url)
            summary = summarize_text(content)
            print(f"n📰 {title}n🔗 {url}n📝 Summary:n{summary}n")
        except Exception as e:
            print(f"Error processing {url}: {e}")

# Example: BBC RSS Feed
rss_feed_url = "http://feeds.bbci.co.uk/news/rss.xml"
summarize_news_from_rss(rss_feed_url)
