Free NewsomaticAPI

Thanks for stellar support!  I was happy to login to WordPress and see it was running your new latest version.  I was able to get your API easily, too, and all is running well now.  Cheers and thanks – appreciated … looks like you’ve put lots of hours in to all this!

Hey Szabi,

Thanks for expert assistance!   Yikes, you spotted my mistake better than me.  Thanks for fixing that in main settings.

Thanks also for updating my plugin to v3.0.0.2

For source, I am now working with ANY, but if I choose to select a specific source such as ABC Australia, it does save – awesome.

At this stage, I still get yellow diamonds.  It may need some more time for new news to be forthcoming.  If you don’t mind, I’ll circle back to you if I’m still stuck later this week.

Thanks for everything,

David.

G’day and thanks for tip Szabi!

That’s a thorough crawl the API performs and does make perfect sense.

I guess one thing I don’t understand is why the API gets out-of-context articles (4) but not so many in-context articles (1).  In Australia right now for the nominated news sites and my various search words, there’s endless news that we’d love the API to get, but the API isn’t picking these up.  Is there some other trick I’m overlooking?

Thank-you and regards,

David.

That’s amazing of your, Szabi.  Big thanks!  The #1 website I’d like to be getting aged care content from is the Australian public broadcaster. It’s not commercial, very reliable journalism, and with no ads:

http://news.abc.net.au/

If ABC would work, then I wouldn’t ask for any other sources.

Big thanks again, feeling hopeful, cheers, David.

Great stuff. Thank-you! Now should I delete out my unique Custom News To Post settings and start again, or just delete the irrelevant ones (ie. settings long related to ABC Australia)?  Thanks Szabi.

Thanks for tip.  Done and time to sit back let API do its magic.  But quick question – to best avoid the ‘ravaged career’ thing, would your search query be:  aged AND care   … or … “aged care”

I feel like trying the AND approach.

Your thoughts?  Cheers thanks again Szabi.

Thanks for this guidance Szabi – done.

40-ish hours later, I’m still not having any luck.

Do you think the following settings are correct for my goal?

<u>Main Settings
</u>Tick – Show Extended Item Information Metabox in Post
Tick – Use Original Post Content For Posts That Don’t Match Defined Importing HTML Class/ID
Tick – Strip Links From Generated Post Content

<span style=”text-decoration: underline;”>Custom News To Post</span>
Tick – Try to Get Full Article Content
Blank – Select a percentage of the grabbed content that will be included in the article. This is useful when the author states that you can legally get up to 25% of the full article. To disable this feature, leave this field blank.
Feature Disabled – Source Article Encoding

Thanks and regards,

David.

Thanks Szabi.  With those settings correct, I reckon we’re close to a solution now.  Yep, feel free to check directly in those site with credentials given 🙂

Articles that I <span style=”text-decoration: underline;”>would have liked</span> the updated API Plugin to pickup:

— Ultimately all these (tag/topic) stories: https://www.abc.net.au/news/topic/aged-care

—— Or such as these three:

–https://www.abc.net.au/news/2020-07-25/victoria-coronavirus-latest-cases/12491948

– https://www.abc.net.au/news/2020-07-25/calls-for-military-help-in-melbourne-aged-care-nursing-homes/12491650

– https://www.abc.net.au/news/2020-07-22/bupa-traralgon-lockdown-after-infected-health-worker-visits/12479486

If it helps, here are 2 of dozens of articles the old API picked up:

– https://www.abc.net.au/news/2020-05-07/robot-pets-at-victorian-aged-care-home/12222522

– https://www.abc.net.au/news/2020-05-04/coronavirus-tasmania-aged-care-restrictions-easing/12210810

Thanks for solid support Szabi.  Cheers, D.

G’day, that rural link is cool but about farming/agriculture. I did some digging on ABC News Australia for the Aged Care RSS feed and found this:

https://www.abc.net.au/news/feed/1000/rss.xml

It look very very topic specific –  containing the exact articles I’d like to import.  Can this help?

Regards

Thanks

Cheers Szabi for the top-notch support.

Excited to see the results ahead.

Thank-you for taking so much time to help us to this stage :)))))

Hi Szabi, hope I’m not jumping the gun but I can’t see in Main Settings or Custom News To Post settings where your RSS setting has been applied.  In the log, now news posts fetched yet.  Am I asking too soon or has a setting been missed?  Thanks and regards, so keen for outcome.  Cheers, David.

*no,  not now, sorry

Great plan, alright thanks Szabi! 🙂

Hey Szabi,

I’m absolutely stoked!  News0matic at that domain picked up a stack of extremely relevant articles without the query string.

Then I configured Echo (thanks so much for the generous use of your clever creation!) and it picked up great articles too, including some I hadn’t seen before.

A better than great outcome.

Sincere thanks for everything :)) :)) :))

Hi Szabi,

Did you receive my note above?

I’m sure it’s the most minor setting I need to change, so would be grateful for your expertise.

Thanks and regards, David.

Thanks a ton for taking a look and for your advice, Szabi.  Full steam ahead!  Thanks for generous licence transfer too 🙂  I haven’t forgotten about the review either, your support is the best so I’ll catch that up ASAP.  Cheers.
