Old RSS Feeds

top headline reads "This RSS feed URL is deprecated". Google deprecated their old RSS protocols on December 1st 2017

you will need to replace the headlines_url to "https://news.google.com/news/rss/?ned=us&gl=US&hl=en"

I've replaced headlines_url, but it doesn't work propellery. Any ideas how to fix news?

[vuongmt]

here's my news code:

class News(Frame):
def init(self, parent, *args, **kwargs):
Frame.init(self, parent, *args, **kwargs)
self.config(bg='black')
self.title = 'News' # 'News' is more internationally generic
self.newsLbl = Label(self, text=self.title, font=('Helvetica', medium_text_size), fg="white", bg="black")
self.newsLbl.pack(side=TOP, anchor=W)
self.headlinesContainer = Frame(self, bg="black")
self.headlinesContainer.pack(side=TOP)
self.get_headlines()

def get_headlines(self):
    try:
        # remove all children
        for widget in self.headlinesContainer.winfo_children():
            widget.destroy()
        if news_country_code == None:
            headlines_url =  "https://news.google.com/news/rss/?ned=us&gl=US&hl=en"
        else:
            headlines_url = "https://news.google.com/news/rss/?ned=us&gl=US&hl=en"
            # Old news: "https://news.google.com/news?ned=%s&output=rss" % news_country_code
            
        feed = feedparser.parse(headlines_url)

        for post in feed.entries[0:5]:
            headline = NewsHeadline(self.headlinesContainer, post.title)
            headline.pack(side=TOP, anchor=W)
    except Exception as e:
        traceback.print_exc()
        print ("Error: %s. Cannot get news." % e)

    self.after(600000, self.get_headlines)
