View All on GitHubAI Summary: The task involves replacing the existing News API in the CrisisAid project with a web scraping solution using libraries like BeautifulSoup and requests (or Playwright/Selenium for JavaScript-heavy sites). This will allow the project to fetch real-time crisis news from specified sources (Al Jazeera, Reuters, BBC News, ReliefWeb) without relying on external APIs, offering more flexibility and potentially more up-to-date information. The scraped data needs to be formatted to match the existing API's structure, respecting robots.txt rules and implementing caching for efficiency. A fallback to the News API should be considered in case of scraping failures.
