Searching For Multiple Terms #64

Closed swaheera closed 1 year ago

swaheera commented 2 years ago

I am interested in using this to search Google News articles on specific topics. I had the following questions about this:

Suppose I wanted to search for "apple" and "covid" - I used to following code:

keyword <- "https://news.google.com/rss/search?q=apple&q=covid&hl=en-IN&gl=IN&ceid=IN:en"

# From the package vignette

google_news <- tidyfeed(
    keyword,
    clean_tags = TRUE,
    parse_dates = TRUE
)

1) I am not exactly sure as to how we are supposed to search for multiple terms? Do you use "&", "|" or do you just write both terms together (e.g. "applecovid")?

2) Is there is a way to restrict the dates between which the search will be performed?

3)I have feeling that "IN" stands for "India" - if I want to change this to "Canada", I think I need to replace "IN" with "CAN"? Is this correct?

Your Help is Greatly Appreciated, Thanks,

Hi swaheera, tidyfeed() doesn't work like this, I'm afraid. You'd have to download all the feeds available and then search through them using other tools in R.
