First and foremost, thank you for thinking about making Fundus better. We aim to tackle news scraping by using domain-specific parsers to achieve precise extraction. To handle this substantial workload, we rely on contributions from people like you.
Fundus strives to be a lightweight, easy to use yet precise news-scraping library. At its core, Fundus is a parser library that focuses on handcrafted parsers instead of fully automated extraction. Consequently, to enable Fundus to parse news from specific domains, someone needs to create a parser tailored to that domain. Given the multitude of news domains, there are countless opportunities for contributions.
Before contributing to Fundus, ensure that you have installed Fundus in editable mode and are using the development requirements.
If you haven't done this yet or are uncertain, follow these steps:
- Clone the repository.
- Optional but recommended: Create a virtual environment (.venv) or conda environment.
- Navigate to the root of the repository.
- Run
pip install -e .[dev]
NOTE: If you run into any problems while contributing don't hesitate to ask questions in the issue tab.
