Here’s a revised version of the Examples section, focusing on clarity, ease of understanding, and providing essential information about default values:
To quickly scrape ideas using default settings, use the following code:
from symbols.ideas import Ideas
# Initialize the Ideas scraper with default parameters
ideas_scraper = Ideas() # Default: export_result=False, export_type='json'
ideas = ideas_scraper.scrape() # Default symbol: 'BTCUSD'
print("Ideas:", ideas)
Default Parameters:
export_result
: False
(no file will be saved)export_type
: 'json'
(output format)To scrape ideas for a specific symbol and export them as a CSV file, you can specify the parameters:
from symbols.ideas import Ideas
# Initialize the Ideas scraper with custom parameters
ideas_scraper = Ideas(
export_result=True, # Set to True to save the results
export_type='csv' # Specify the export type (json or csv)
)
# Scrape ideas for the ETHUSD symbol, from page 1 to page 2
ideas = ideas_scraper.scrape(
symbol="ETHUSD",
startPage=1,
endPage=2,
sort="popular" # Could be 'popupar' or 'recent'
)
print("Ideas:", ideas)
Output Format: The output will always be a list of Python dictionaries, structured as follows:
[
{
"title": "Bitcoin -65% crash, ETH -83%, DOGE -89%, SHIBA -90%",
"paragraph": "Name your altcoin in the comment section, and I will do a technical analysis for you!\n\nThe crypto market looks ...",

from symbols.indicators import Indicators
# Initialize the Indicators scraper with export options
indicators_scraper = Indicators(export_result=True, export_type='json')
# Scrape indicators for the BTCUSD symbol from the BINANCE exchange
indicators = indicators_scraper.scrape(
exchange="BINANCE",
symbol="BTCUSD",
indicators=["RSI", "Stoch.K"]
)
print("Indicators:", indicators)

indicators_scraper = Indicators(export_result=True, export_type='json')
indicators = indicators_scraper.scrape(
symbol="BTCUSD",
allIndicators=True
)
print("All Indicators:", indicators)
# Create an instance of the NewsScraper with export options
news_scraper = NewsScraper(export_result=True, export_type='json')

news_headlines = news_scraper.scrape_headlines(
provider='newsbtc', # Specify the news provider
# symbol='BTCUSD', # Uncomment and specify if needed
# exchange='BINANCE', # Uncomment and specify if needed
