Today, when I re-used the package “GoogleNews” in Python that can automatically return search results (you can refer to [Python] Using “GoogleNews” package to get the Google News that I wrote before), it may be because I upgraded this package The version of, there is no problem in the English search, but the search result in the Chinese search is not returned, and there is no error.
After I traced the source code, I found that the developer made a brand-new adjustment. Maybe it was also in response to the Google News update.
After I tested it, I finally succeeded in getting the Chinese search to return results. But this time things started to make me think, maybe after all, I still have to write a crawler myself more thoroughly.
Below, I will briefly record how the current version should be searched in Chinese. (GoogleNews 1.3.7)
Google News Chinese search is invalid
First, I used the English search test.
from GoogleNews import GoogleNews googlenews = GoogleNews() googlenews.search('US Stock') result = googlenews.gettext() print(len(result)) for n in range(len(result)): print(n) print(result[n])
Output:

Then I tested Chinese search.
from GoogleNews import GoogleNews googlenews = GoogleNews() googlenews.search('美股') result = googlenews.gettext() print(len(result)) for n in range(len(result)): print(n) print(result[n])
Output:
0No results were returned this time. The magic is that this time is different from before, the previous error disappeared. We need to adjust the source code of the GoogleNews package again.
The location of the source code is in __init__.py under site-packages/GoogleNews/ of your installation package.
I researched it. This time the crawler package updated the language distinction, which means that we need another command to search for the language; in addition, the previous bug that could not search for Chinese still exists, but the line code has been put into error handling “try-except”, so no error will be reported.
Similarly, import at the top of __init__.py:
import string
Then find this line code:
self.url = "https://www.google.com/search?q={}&lr=lang_{}&tbs=lr:lang_1{},qdr:{}&tbm=nws&start={}".format(self.__key,self.__lang,self.__lang,self.__period,(10 * (page - 1)))
Add a line of code below to become:
self.url = "https://www.google.com/search?q={}&lr=lang_{}&tbs=lr:lang_1{},qdr:{}&tbm=nws&start={}".format(self.__key,self.__lang,self.__lang,self.__period,(10 * (page - 1))) self.url = urllib.request.quote(self.url, safe=string.printable)
Then go back to our code, set the language to “cn”, and search in Chinese:
from GoogleNews import GoogleNews googlenews = GoogleNews('cn') googlenews.search('美股') result = googlenews.gettext() print(len(result)) for n in range(len(result)): print(n) print(result[n])
Output:
