Getting Full Article Text

Install

Full article extraction requires the fulltext extra:

pip install gnews[fulltext]

Usage

from gnews import GNews

g = GNews(max_results=5)
articles = g.get_news("OpenAI")

article = g.get_full_article(articles[0]["url"])
print(article["text"])   # full article text
print(article["url"])    # original URL

Return value

{
    "text": "Full article text...",
    "url": "https://example.com/article"
}

Error handling

from gnews.exceptions import NetworkError

try:
    article = g.get_full_article(url)
except NetworkError as e:
    print(f"Could not fetch article: {e}")
except ImportError:
    print("Run: pip install gnews[fulltext]")

Limitations

Paywalls: Articles behind paywalls cannot be extracted
JS-heavy sites: Some modern sites block plain HTTP requests
Bot detection: Sites using Cloudflare may block extraction

If get_full_article() fails consistently on a site, navigate to the URL directly in your browser.
